[blue][size 2]Walleyes have a bad habit of "turning on" during foul weather. They're not fair weather fish like LMB. So a typical walleye boat has a deep V or modified deep V hull and more freeboard than a bass boat. No brand is necessarily better than others, and if you fish a lot of bass, some of the classic bass boat vendors--including Ranger--make walleye boats.[/size][/blue]
[blue][size 2]You'll need a deep transom capable of handling a kicker. And a powerful bow-mount electric trolling motor. Presentations range from open water trolling to anchoring and tossing jigs. Probably, more walleyes are caught on jigs than on anything else--except maybe bottom bouncers with a crawler harness.[/size][/blue]
[blue][size 2]But don't get too caught up with the boat. WalleyeBob's boat wasn't designed as a walleye rig, but it catches more than its share of 'eyes. And then there Toob Dood (sorry Pat, just saw a Froot Loops commercial) who catches more than most from a float tube.[/size][/blue]
[blue][size 2]All the walleye pro's sell their boats at the following link (even the In-Fishermen staff sell their boats here)...[/size][/blue]
