That is hard to say without more info. Since your thread says newbie and you said it is a new boat, I'm assuming you are completely new to walleye fishing and Lake Erie?

From Turtle Creek, jig fishing will be the closest and simplest for you to start out with. Trolling requires a lot more gear, boat setup, and knowledge. Both are effective if you know what you are doing.

To answer your second question, most have been trolling crankbaits, but some are starting to switch to worm harnesses. We are in a transition period right now.

I would recommend goimg out with some experienced friends or hire a charter to learn the ropes, especially id you want to troll. It will be worth the cost.

Be safe and watch the weather.
