Bottom bouncers are quite versatile. For walleye you can fish them with a floating minnow bait, plain hook with live bait, or with a spinner and live bait. They are a good scouting tool to look for active fish. Usually keep you line anywhere from a 90 to 45 degree angle behind the boat. A good guide for weight under normal conditions is 1oz per every 10 feet of water. speed depends on the conditions and mood of the fish.

There's a great article on just this topic on the main page. It's my go-to method of putting fish in the boat.
Good fishing.
