Ice fishing for Walleye
 

I usually use jigs tipped with a minnow for walleye, but have also some
success with rattle n' rap rapala's. I have been fishing in about 10 feet of
water with a sandy/rocky bottom. Does anyone else have any suggestions for
catching walleye through the ice? Depth/lures/bottom?

I like to go a bit deeper, and fish the deep side of a sharp drop off
contour. A drop off that breaks on a flat at 15-20 feet works for me.
Minnows are best. (leeches actually better, but hard to find in winter)
Walleyes don't like a lot of light, and a lot gets through the ice. Because
the water tends to be much clearer than summer, you may want to consider
night fishing. If you fish an impoundment with an old river bed, try the
old deep river contours.
