>>2173002The only conditions where there is consistent decent fishing them during the day is heavy wind and big waves along windswept rocky shores, which is no good for kayaking obviously. If you must fish during the day, fish deeper water near cover with slow trolled live bait rigs with a bottom bouncer. Any kind of bad weather is a good thing, especially approaching fronts. Post-front sunny and calm conditions pretty universally means awful walleye fishing.
Your best bet is to get rigged up for nightfishing if you can. Make sure to look up your state's laws for lighting at bare minimum. Get out in the evening and troll crankbaits (I like floating rapalas, with weight added in front if needed) as close to the bottom as you can over rocks or along weedlines preferably around points near deep water. Fishing normally peaks right as it starts to get too dark to see well. Troll pretty fast, and occasionally pick up your rod and give it a pull then give it slack or use the kayak to sweep the rod then drop it back, you get hit a lot right after doing that. You can also still use a live bait rig, but it's nice not bothering with bait and you do not have to deal with bait robbers like perch or rockbass with lures. You can do that all the way into the night, they will normally bite all the way until morning. They normally move shallower as it gets darker, so keep that in mind. Sometimes they move into extremely shallow flats at night, where I bet a kayak could be really useful for the stealth factor. They are very boat shy when in shallower water, so try to let out as much line as you can manage.
This is based off my experience in ND and MN fishing from a motorized boat. Might not fully apply to where you live or from a kayak.
