As long as some methods are being posted here I'm going to suggest boat control is one of the biggest concerns of mine when fishing for walleyes.  Setting up a controlled drift with all in the boat in good position, staying on the spot at all times, controlling the boat even when a fish is being caught and landed.  I see people out in 30 feet of water 30 feet off of a spot when the spot is 12-15 fow and they chances are nil.  There are exception where wandering off the spot finds other fish but that is pretty rare.

I think if you control your boat well your fishing improves a ton and rookies don't end up stuck in the prop.
