Is potholes too big and windy for a canoe\trolling motor? Would I be better off hitting Soda or another lake?

I've never fished for walleye, and I think a day fishing for bug-eyes, small mouth, perch, ect would be fun for my little bro and I to do this week.

What part of the lake should we focus on? Rebember that we can't cover the whole lake with just a little electric motor...

I plan on trying flies - wooly buggers mainly. And we'll also use nightcrawlers i'm sure. Any other suggestions? Trolling rapalas and flatfish? Double wammy\crawler?

Thanks for the ino!
