Walleye on Watauga Lake Advice

Ok guys. Going to try something new. I have never fished for walleye, but hear they are fun to catch and great eating. I am heading to Watauga Lake this weekend to give them a try. I have never tried for them. First any tips on where to put in and try them on that lake. I would be coming from Boone nc. Second best methods for this time of the year. I have read they will hit crankbaits so thought about trolling my little bandit 300s like I do for crappie and maybe pick up both. Also going to try to make a few night crawler harnesses to try as well. Any tips are greatly appreciated including floats on harnesses or not, speed pulled, weights ahead of rigs etc. Best bait - night crawler or minnows, etc.
Thanks

Used to catch them with my grandfather trolling Catpaw spinners with nightcrawlers and getting them slow & low to the bottom. That was during the mornings. Most of the reports I hear of now is using long bill rebels or something similar and throwing those into the bank where they are coming up and popping shad during the night. I haven't caught one of them in years so basically I stink at Walleye fishing. Good Luck

You will need to add some weight in front of the bandits to get them about 10 ft deeper and go about 0.3-0.6 mph slower than crappie.

Thanks for the info guys.
