Vertical Jigging for River Walleye

I have been on a bit of a dry spell fishing for walleye in the Delaware River, though I have seen others catching them.  With the air temperature dropping below 40 degrees, I have switched from nightcrawlers to shiners.  My preferred presentations have been lindy rigs and vertical jigging and I have targeted sunrise.  Today I am going to try to get on the river 45 minutes before sunset, approximately 4:00 PM. 

I found this helpful video on youtube and much of this knowledge is portable to the Upper Delaware River.  I have found Walleye hanging in the backwater sections of the Delaware River and for some reason I like the 13 to 16 foot depth..
