If you have to fish clear water in high light, you should always concentrate on deeper than 30 feet of water, because you really will not find the walleye any more shallow than that.

Walleye will be looking for bait fish on the shady sides of humps as well, so looking in these areas could find more fish ready to bite as well. If you focus on shallow humps that have really big rocks, it will help, because the rocks absorb lots of heat in the daytime, and the minnows really gravitate to this warmth. If you find the minnows there, you should also be able to easily find walleye there ready for an easy meal. Another pointer is to look for areas where there are the presence of both shoreline and the big rocks close to which the minnows look for warmth and shelter.
