1 to 2 oz bottom bouncer and crawler harness perch colored from ReelBait. that is all we fished last year and caught a bunch of walleyes.
One tip though, the ReelBait spinners are 4 feet long, cut them down to 2' to 2'6" and you will snag up less on the rocks
Lures;
1) L&S Mirrolure jointed crankbait size OOM color 23 or RT
2) Heddon River Runt floater in rainbow or crawfish
Jigs;
1) Northland Whistler or homemade equivelant
2) Bullet head jig (smaller hooks than other types of the same weight)

1. Don't leave home without some 1 ounce bottom bouncers
and a number 6 or 8 hook tipped with a leech I kicked some butt
last summer on that combo.
2. Near sundown tie on a number 9 shad and start cranking for
suspended walleyes over deep water and sunken islands
and HOLD ON! Don't get me wrong you can still crank durring
the day but I like the evening bite.
Good luck...
What rod would you use for bottom bumping
I second the bottom bouncer, but as light as the conditions allow you to get the crawler to bottom. I like hammered brass and bright orange. Fished the Nestor Falls area and all we use for 'eyes.
Lure #1:
Spinner (hamered gold), 2 beads for, 2 beads aft with a #6 hook tipped with leech, minnow or preferably 1/2 crawler). You build your own with 8lb low diameter line
Lure #2
Little Cleo, 1/2 oz in bronze and maroon on a 4' tip with swivels at each end. Drift, troll, cast it goes where you want it to.
BUT- it can be great milfoil harvester at very low speed retreival. You will know when you are too slow

I could NOT do it!
If I did, my wife would think I only needed one fishing rod and only 2 lures. ;-)
