Hey Simon, thanks. However I know I can walk 30' out and be only chest deep mid summer and it's all stone/gravel in the area. When the boats done for the season I'm just happy to cast 100000 cast's with hope at one last fish from the spot. I just wasn't sure how good a top water lure would be for walleye as I have never tried it. Now with this thread I have other ideas and options when the boat goes to sleep. I hope all is well up there bud.
