Renting a Boat to fish Spirit Lake tomorrow. From Denver and don’t want to get skunked. Would like to take home a bunch of walleye. Any advice would be appreciated.

Welcome to the Forum, Kgarcia, I have never fished Spirit Lake but I understand it gets a lot of fishing pressure and recreational use, good luck.

Welcome, Kgarcia. I'm not from that part of the state, but here is the Iowa DNR report this week. Good luck!
Spirit Lake
The water temperature is 64 degrees. The water has been clearing up; using lighter line works best. Use lead core and tadpole baits. Black Crappie - Fair: Try tube jigs with wigglers or pilkies in deeper water. Bluegill - Fair: Use tube jigs with wigglers or pilkies in deeper water. Walleye - Good: Bite is hit-or-miss at dusk, but the day bite is improving. Many anglers have started to fish in shallower with slip bobbers along weed edges. Yellow Perch - Fair: Best bite is morning till 11:00 and mid-afternoon. Depths vary depending on the time of day. Move often to find fish - schools are smaller and sporadic.
