Shallow rocks and sand for the walleyes, focusing on the middle of the lake from Nile’s bay east. 7-14 foot for the walleyes and the smallmouth 1-7 foot!

Shorelines with docks and cleaner water. Some wind is good. The Marabou jig was the ticket, slowly reeling back after casting near docks or right next to shore in inches of water. Good luck!
