Been a while, but I caught 2 keeper walters on back to back casts swimming a Redfin thru a cedar top up the White. Probably 10 years ago. Both fish were 20”.  Only time ever on a true top water.  Lots on shallow subsurface baits  

Have seen many, many walleye suspended just under the floats of deep docks. I mean 3’ down over 60’ to 100’ of water. 

I guess it was 3 or so years ago we were catching short walleye drop shotting  tree tops in 60 plus feet suspended just over the top of those deep trees. Caught dozens of them in the 10 to 15 inch range.

Diving in Bull we always noticed walleye seemed to run in pairs.  Looks like it holds true with how many of you guys are catching them so close together

That rings true to me.  Don't know how many times I have caught two walleye in 2 or three consecutive universities casts when they are shallow and aggressive post spawn.
