Walleye

I WANNA CATCH WALLEYE. i accidentally caught one today but then fell of hook before i could hold it. i know you have to go at dusk or at night but i didnt know they lived in a not-that-deep lake ( 5-10 ft.) where are the best places to catch them and if they are native to middle south jersey in shallow lakes, what are the best techniques? thanks i would really appreciate it

No walleyes in south jersey. Go to north jersey lakes or delaware river above trenton. I use nightcrawlers and crankbaits but they also hit topwaters at night
