St. Louis Newbie

Heading up to my cabin in northwest Wisconsin this coming weekend and planning on making a daytrip up to the St. Louis river. I've done some research but it will be my first time giving it a whirl. 

I'll be targeting walleyes by either pulling a crawler harness or trolling cranks. Jig and minnow isn't out of the question. Would i be better off launching from an access closer to the big lake and fishing that area or go up river around Boy Scout area this time of year? I would assume most of the big girls have made there way back into Superior?

Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

This time of year a lot of people fish the lower part of the river, but there's fish everywhere....I'd start close to the lake and just keep flat hopping up the river.

Launched out of Boyscout last saturday. The river was MUCH wider than i had anticipated and the 30-40 mph winds made it impossible for my bass boat to navigate that area. Was very choppy. Are there areas down river that are easier to fish?

I took a 12ft bass boat out at Boyscout Landing last year... Got stuck in a storm. Bad time. Haha
