I live about 200 feet from lake Entiat with water access and dont know how to catch a single fish out of that water. ](*,)
I've seen people catch walleye out of there but I dont know what gear to use. Any help would be appreciated, and I will be fishing from a boat not from shore. Thanks!

Probably LOTS of walleye vids on Youtube, watch them. The walleye fishermen on this site will have to help you with all that info, but try crankbaits, 1/8th oz round jig heads with grubs and skinny worms, and of course trolling. Bottom bouncing things, and all that stuff. Go to 'Infishermen' and watch their vids.

You're very close, watch the vids, get a bottom bouncer rig and some worms and hit the ledges around the island and other shallows. Wally's are very light sensitive, very early and after dusk.

I've watched a few videos now, and I am confused on wether I should be using a jig, or a spoon type spinner bait. Also should I go with live or artifical bait. And if im not mistaking I will need T swivels? If anyone has a picture or a diagram on a good walleye setup that would be helpful.

Go to the sports shop and ask them for a bottom bouncer, get a half, three quarters and an ounce and maybe a one and a half. You want to make to get to the bottom. Then you hook a spinner, wedding ring, wally pop or hook and worm. It will be clear as day when you see it. I've caught them trolling for trout with a wedding ring and worm. Hard to find esy to catch, most of the big Wally guys spend a lot of time looking with electronics, spoting holes and ledges with fish before they even start. I can't do that. Remember, they're truely ambush hunters so find a place they can catch baby perch or trout and start fishing, structure, structure, structure.
