I just got back from a lake that's deeper than I normally fish. I had good luck with dipsey divers and spoons in 35'-40'. The dipseys were smaller ones, about 2" in diameter. You can pull them off planer boards with normal walleye trolling rods. You could pull stickbaits behind them as well.

Thats a lot of dead walleyes. sad. 99% of them are alive,never assume.every fish after being revived lived to see another day.Exept the few that made it into the beer batter and peanut oil. With the filet thats surf and turf up there,topped off with blue and a cuban cigar.my little piece of heaven on earth.

One of the great things about weights is they all work the same you'll want to use a 1 oz snap weight/bottom bouncer/ any other weight in 0-10' a 2oz in 10-20' and a 3 oz in 20-30' but if your fishing quite a bit deeper I would use a slip weight with a split shot weight for a stop to make sure its on the bottom another popular method for getting baits down is lead core line which works quite good the rule of thumb for leadcore line is every single Color adds 5' to a lures running depth

I was brought up to take only what you will use.
I eat what I catch or keep. I don`t fish tournaments and I don`t keep what I can`t use.
I think think tournament fishing is good for the industry and I have nothing against those who do it., I myself for me don`t believe in tournament fishing. I don`t believe in filling up a freezer full of fish either.

Agree with you on your piece of heaven, that's a nice vision! But, i think assuming a lot of dead walleyes when 700+ are being pulled up from 50' is safe. Unless these guys had some secret, please share.

The easiest method is heavy jigs with crawlers, minnows or leeches using Fireline or some other low stretch braided line to retain the feel for the bite.
