Deadly Early Summer Walleye Lure

Todays video is all about trolling spinner rigs by hand for early summer walleyes. There are endless lure options for walleyes during the summer period. I like to think of lures as a tool. Do you need a lure to cover water? Do you need a lure to be aggressive? Do you need a lure to be stationary yet incredibly enticing? These are all things to think about when selecting a lure for walleye fishing. When fish are spread out over large weed edges during the early summer periods one of my go to lures is a spinner rig with a leech on it. In this video I talk about how I rig up my spinners and what I look for on my side imaging! Thanks for watching this quick little tips and tricks walleye video.

“You can fish with just one rod!” - welcome to MN... great video!

Hey Tom - I threw out a similar comment in another video but it was a day or two after you originally posted it so I don't know if you saw it or not. If so, I apologize for making a repeat request. I think it would be beneficial if you could include side-imaging screenshots off all the fish you tried to fish for on a given day and whether or not you caught fish. For myself, and I'm sure many others, the most difficult part of using side imaging is identifying what is fish vs what might be rocks, weeds, other strange crap in the water. I think I pass up a lot of fish because I'm not sure that what I'm seeing is fish. Knowing what you're looking for and what you fish would be a huge benefit in helping us with recognizing what we are looking at. I appreciate the screenshots you do include already. Thanks for all the time and hard work you put into creating these videos for us!

[@tylerstanf7978]

Don’t think Tom should tell you this to be honest takes out the point of people hiring him as a guide to teach them this stuff.... if you fish ever weekend sunrise to sunset you’ll figure it out

[@rroemer69]

I don’t think he guides anymore. I asked on his website and I got a response saying he no longer guides

[@kevinkilgour1]

If this guy keeps posting walleye videos they’ll be on the endangered species within 6 months... In all seriousness though, my walleye game saw a noticeable improvement this spring and I’m pretty sure it had something to do with all the videos I’ve been watching from this channel. Thanks Tom!

[@robertmroszak1986]

Hey Tom, I came across your video’s recently and have found all of them to be very informative and helpful when it comes to walleyes. I hope you will or have covered tactics for crappie. Thanks for the great videos..

[@wiscowalleye7954]

Minnesota fishermen;....lindy rig, lindy rig, lindy rig......Tom Boley; well actually you can catch walleye with methods A-Z 🤣. Another great video, Wisconsin fishermen represent!

[@bugtussle7475]

Tom you have really been cranking out the videos lately and they are all excellent. Awesome! Keep them coming.

[@rogerramjet7567]

Kudos to Shelby!!! Great fishergal!!! What a partner. Lucky you Tom. She works the camera super well.

[@milehigh3054]

An ad popped up.. called mud/wtr.. lmao. You drinking mud water Tom? You pushing that stuff? Jk ...well atleast you maybe hopefully got paid for the ad. I watched it all the way through. Lol

[@cj2467]

Any tips on early summer walleye/bass fishing off a kayak with no electronics? I have a Hobie pedal kayak so I can troll. I’m a gal just learning how to fish. Thanks!

[@timejumper8003]

Tom I bet you catch so much walleye you dont like the taste of them. Like the guy who works at Dominoes and cant eat the pizza. Good videos I just subscribed, I struggle to find eyes. But I dont have a side imager.

[@jtn-minn8105]

Good stuff Tom!!! My wife and I enjoy shallow water Walleye spinner fishing....It works great after dark too.

[@brianboudreau5083]

It’s so cool to wake up watch you video then go out on the lake and try you technique. Thanks Tom and pretty lady who’s name I forget. Sorry. Have a great day

[@warddan2002]

That would be The Shelbster

[@kscott2831]

Thanks for the vids! Have you done one about your boat setup? I love all the space you have. I'd be interested to hear your pros vs cons of some of the different boat setup options & electronics. Thanks much

[@AH-dn2us]

Tom- thanks for all your info! I have a question regarding line. You talk about the uni knot with braid to fluoro. Prior to my last time out last year, I was always running straight braid but you intrigued me to try it. That day I lost 2 lures on hooking a lily pad which I don't think should have broke the fluoro with a little yank. Needless to say I went back to straight braid for the rest of the day.... This weekend I'm heading to a clear lake and would like to try it again. This morning I tested the uni knot and palomar knot to a snap and hooked it on a nail to test the strength. I consistently had the fluoro break at the knot near the snap with not a ton of pulling. I watched multiple videos on how to do both of these knots with fluoro correctly. Im running 6 lbs braid to 8 lbs fluoro. The fluoro is "spider wire" and though its still on the packaged spool its probably 2-3 years old. Any advice? If your line breaks is it usually on the fluoro or braid? What brands do you use? Etc. I hate to go out and buy new fluoro when I have 150 yards left but if you think a different line is better I would be willing....Sorry I don't want this to turn into a "ford vs chevy" debate on line brands. Thanks in advance!

[@jessiebrickner7129]

I always tie to a swivel. I find tying a double uni out on the water, especially in the wind, to be a bit of a pain. I use 10# floro and never had it break at the knot.

[@poimendave9536]

We need to get Shelby wearing a MICHIGAN Shirt 😊

[@mikemccortney]

Thanks for these videos! Are you trying to stay in contact with the bottom like Lindy rigging?

[@TomBoley]

A couple feet up. Its bot rely an exact science

[@bummallery748]

Wish they made the carbon x 1000 with an anti reverse on it , still got 4

[@sjklahn]

Just subbed fellow Wisconsinite. Do you guide? Because I'd hire you. Heading up to Willow Flowage this Saturday. Definitely going to be using your tips up there.

[@realtommchugh]

Great vid here Tom. Also excellent name you have there sir. My challenge in doing this is figuring out how much line to let out. I have tough making/feeling bottom and weed contact without letting out 100+ feet of line in 12-18 feet of water. Any advice?

[@thovland740]

At what speeds were you trolling this rig?

[@sylvainlaurence1554]

Until it start to work. Then try different speed

[@andygoodson2399]

Great video. One day you're going to regret saying, If Shelby can do it, so can you"-- especially if she catches more fish than you. 🤣

[@Hill_Billy_Without_A_Hill]

What size boat you running? Looks like a good set up. Are you using a upgraded transducer or the regular one they come with? Also, what eye materials are holding up best to braid in your experience?

[@michaellemaster6637]

As always a fantastic video Tom!

[@rroemer69]

Another great video!! Lean something new each time. Are you still guiding? If so how do we get in touch with you for your services? Thanks for everything you teach!

[@FarmUrban1]

How are you setting your depth and what kind of speed are you running? Do you just let line up until you hit bottom and reel up a crank or two? Great video and as usual you do explain well how to do what your doing... even if we can't do it.

[@Humborg1]

Love the videos. Great advice. I'm up here on the Columbia river. Got monster walleye here. Any river tips.

[@michaelneumann2634]

I would assume you'll have more line out with this vs bottom bouncer? Always wanted to try this setup great video as always

[@derrickeischens3993]

Tom, do you spool your braid directly on your reels or do you put some sort of backing before the braid?

[@ryanjohnson6620]

Just wondering what speed you are trolling at

[@TomBoley]

1.2

[@robw1871]

You have awesome videos! I like that you actually show what you're doing just before the fish hits the lure. Everyone else tends to talk about what to do, but never show what they're doing.

[@blakeanderson7083]

Idk how you catch walleye i do this same thing and only get pike bass perch ect

[@MorphngUnicornRider]

Thanks Tom. This is really helping me pin point more eyes on deer lake in Grand Rapids.

[@brent338]

Had a pretty fun F7 rapala bite, on 3oz bouncers Thursday on Roosevelt. Aggressive bites and hard fights.

[@sniffum35]

3oz bouncers? How deep were you fishing?

[@sylvainlaurence1554]

Y love spinners 👑👑🎣🎣

[@TopGunNote]

Have you tried any plastic leeches? Thoughts?

[@Sapper19]

Tom, Have you ever tried running plastics on the spinner rigs?

[@barrystockdale3305]

You are mostly in clear water is there anything you can help with a dark water

[@retiredboxingref7620]

Good fish there lady! Hey Tom brand and length of net?

[@jaxfishn0]

Tom, great video. One thing you forgot to mention is your trolling speed. How fast are you pulling those spinners? Also, would like to see an example of your trolling path, to get an idea of how you steer the boat thru these weedy areas. I assume you are using a "lazy S" type of pattern, but seeing it on the Humminbird screen would give me the visual clue I'm looking for. Lastly, are those jumbo leeches you're using?

[@MikeSmith-du9gh]

He is going 1.2

[@jlundorff9123]

Love it. Nice video. I feel like you've had that 20" with the messed up dorsal fin in the boat several times this spring! :)

[@scottcassidy9008]

Love the Minnesota sweatshirt! Thanks for another great video!

[@jamiehartzell5286]

nice information on pulling spinner rigs please keep the videos coming !

Love how tell all tricks to trade! Video are great Tom! Pmytuming is waiting for you!

[@patrickempey3584]

Great content as always, Tom. Have you ever run into any of your viewers while on the water?

[@codythompson3674]

Same rig works great with a floating jighead

How don’t you get weeds on the spinner

I love your videos!! Thank you!!

[@jdebell7068]

Have enjoyed all your videos since spring. Have you considered becoming a guide,

[@timschwarze4842]

J Debell He is!

[@mikecollins8241]

I love your videos, I've been watching a ton for the last few months :) As I am new to "warm water" fishing, I would really appreciate you taking just a little more time going over the specifics of rigging; how you are tying on (everything from lure to knots, leader length and line size etc) trolling speed, lure action etc.. You are VERY knowledgeable, but you go over a lot of stuff SO fast that us "beginners" don't fully understand what you are describing... explaining the "whys" of details, and repetition, keys to teaching ;)

[@fidiusjwhoopie]

Mike C, go back and watch all his vids, he goes over all that stuff many times over

[@curroc3568]

Just watch it again and again until you understand..

[@miketersigni9015]

Hey Tom, wonding about your trolling motor. Looking for one myself and leaning towards one that had a remote function. I see you sporting the minnkota lanyard. Are you using the Ultrex? Any suggestions for someone looking for a remote control trolling motor? Starting out? Thanks in advance!

[@BL_Denni]

All about the size of boat you fish with remOtes come 55lb power drive and up it change the game for me when I started using the remote with spot lock and other trolling features

[@jasonkoller4750]

Motor guide xi5 definitely the way to go

[@scottbunn7649]

Headed to MN next week! Can't wait.

[@lylevonspreckelsen9289]

maybe I missed it but how fast do you troll the spinners

[@kawa1755]

Reeling them or with an electric motor moving down the lake.

[@jerometorrez8789]

So if I find weeds on the Saginaw bay where would I start.??

[@BoydsrandomAlt]

Instead of weeds looks for some structure like a drop of or a patch of trees or brush I’ve haven’t been to the bay in a while but I don’t remember any weeds but trolling on drop offs works great when I was there

[@jessiebrickner7129]

Picked up one of the Piscifun Carbon-X 2000s for my wife's new fishing rod. Very nice reel and extremely affordable! I often fish with both her pole and mine when I'm out alone and I'm finding that I like her setup more than mine!
