Woose,

What length is your "small boat." What type of boat? Do you have a chart of the Lake for that area or a GPS / Fishfinder with charts?

If the wind / waves aren't bad and you can go out a few miles there is plenty of area for you to fish right now.
Go NW from East Harbor and about a mile out you'll start seeing bouys. If you have a chart they are on it. Red and Green bouys, several of them.

The whole area from between Catawba Point to the south tip of South Bass Island east to about halfway down Kelleys Island has been hot lately. It's called the South Passage, a travel lane betwwen the shore and the Islands. There are reefs out there marked with bouys. Fish anywhere in that area and north between South Bass and Kelleys Islands.

You need to learn how to fish your worm harnesses at different depths. Cast out, once the lure hits the water count in seconds, then retrive. Start with a 10 count. Depending on the wind / drift speed your lure will be at different depths depending on how long you counted and how fast you retrieve it. Try to stay near the bottom at first. If you feel the lure hitting bottom reel faster just until you don't hit bottom any more. Sooner or later you'll catch one and find the depth where the walleye are. If one spot doesn't produce, move a half mile.

If you can safely get to where a "pack" of boats are fishing, that's usually a good way to start out. Try there first.

It's a learning process so don't get discouraged if you don't catch any at first. Keep experimenting with depths and retrive speeds. You'll begin to learn how to keep the lure at a cetain depth. When someone catches a walleye remember what depth they were at. Everyone should then fish that depth and speed. Have fun learning. Once you get some experience you'll be putting walleye in the cooler.
