How to DROP-SHOT Finicky Walleyes like a PRO!

[@danriedner]

Don’t get bored with repeat, teaching on side image down image, and target. I enjoy all your videos and learn something new every time. Technology will continue those who don’t like live sight. Don’t have one can’t afford one or haven’t used one keep up the good work teaching you’re good at it thumbs up

[@starrboy38]

For me it’s the commentary in your videos. Your excitement on every fish is so great! Nothing like seeing them glowing eyes, and Erie at night is perfect. Another great video Bill. Thanks.

[@RJBehrens1]

HAHAHAA!!! "Put a post-it note over half of your phone" I love that.

[@craigwavra3495]

Appreciate the content. Always learning something from you on these videos!!

[@philschmitt796]

It doesn’t get old saying … welcome to the Warrior family!

[@TomBoley]

Thank you. It feels phenomenal

[@davidtisch5237]

My son Ike 15 years old youngest person in the Fargo scheels seminar June 8 enjoyed meeting and talking with you Tom after the presentation. Thanks for talking to my son it means a lot to him to make it to the class. Hope to make it to a session one of these days to meet you in person

[@earlshannon1048]

Omg Tom it's not fair you have that big beautiful boat you need to share it 😆🤣😂! I watched you for a long time now and there is no better show then yours I've watched you grow into the finest walleye fisherman I've ever seen and I appreciate how you keep it clean and professional. I've turned your channel on to friends and family from here in Minnesota to Colorado to Texas and everyone loves it! My favorite videos are you with your dad Shelby and Mitchell. Remember you'll always have criticism but stay the course and look how far you've come!!! I would like to see you make a live video someday.

[@timhilbert6621]

Your videos are amazing! I look forward to your next video always! I do a lot of scuba videos and realize how much editing is involved for a good video. Your a busy man! Thank you! Thank you!

[@raystomberski4480]

Thanks for all your great videos,and your info on how to,also your positive attitude,it is sure hard to ignore negative comments,but those are the people that you don't need anyway, thanks again young man keep up the great videos

[@GD-xj3jd]

Thanks for a really great video and thanks for your take on the electronics. I've never seen anyone other than a kayak paddling to troll...LOL The better a tool, the better your experience. Thanks again for your added tips, this video was mellow but loaded with great information.

[@ronmacdougall9612]

Another great video Tom

[@jeffcummings5688]

Thanks Tom keeping us updated on everything new that deals walleye fishing.I love learning.Hoping you show us that drop shot.Can you tie 2 hooks apart?

[@artwalgren6612]

Tom, thanks for your videos. They are great so don't worry about the haters. They are everywhere. If you ever come out to western SD, I would love to show you my favorite lake. It is an amazing SD fishery. Hit me up if you want to learn about.

[@mattress2331]

Great content again Always something different people can try and use ❤

[@Npoulsonshooting]

Mega live looks awesome Im looking at it right now

[@jeremyhovde6447]

Thanks for coming to Fargo. I need to tie up some drop shots. Never done that.

[@89shmike]

Mille Lacs has been 🔥

[@Frank-vh8zf]

Don't tell the DNR that🤫🤫🤫🤫They may shut the lake down, cause they are pretty much wrong on everything .

[@tboneyum]

Hey Tom. Take 1 part water and 1 viniger and put it in a small spray bottle to get spots off your screens

[@silveredsilence]

Personally I like the technology and I thought that you having a comeback for frustrated viewers was well said. Go ahead and say whatever you want Tom! I like watching you catch fish and maybe one day I'll be able to do it like that....

[@bkalis]

I've learned so much from you, keep up the great content !

[@scotteasley83]

Ya I agree. There are a select few who have all that stuff. I was at the river today and there were 50 people standing on the side of the river with a pole. Wishing they knew how to catch fish in there situation. Oh and the dirtiest water you can’t see 3 inches into. Can you do a video standing on the side of a shity river and tell us how to catch fish. Thanks

[@gordjohnson70]

So, what plastics do you drop shot with ? Did I miss that part of the video ?

[@jerrydell4646]

What a great video yesterday we went walleye fishing in Washington state on the Columbia river we were using bottom walkers with a worm.

[@DanEthier-g9j]

Hey tom if you ever want to come to Quebec for walleye fishing i will take you anytime just it me up. Love your tips and vids keep it up

[@rogerfuglsang2088]

Love the videos and lessons. Lots of useful info. I'm from southern minnesota how about some videos on some of these not so popular lakes.

[@JTFun]

Wouldn't it be great to win a fishing trip with Tom?? He could either travel to your lake or you could go to him. Sure would be nice! :)

[@charliekorabek3846]

Wow….great video! Not a technique I’ve used a lot for walleyes but I am fast becoming a fan of it! Thanks for the lesson Tom!

[@nathanengleman8343]

Hi Tom enjoy your you tubes. Myself and many other viewers would like content further north like minocqua wi. For our smaller natural lakes.

[@joemartin6439]

Chris just for me technically learn the dame technology I have now . Just learning side view

[@spencerbehler]

Just got my tkicnc livescope mount and it’s sick!

[@brandondeyo2574]

I would love to see you do Kabetogama or somewhere in Voyagers National Park.

[@kellylambert4527]

Hey bud ,love the new boat looks good ,for the live scope use the damn thing right! I don't have one yet but having more options to catching fish is key.And to all the haters fuck um and feed them fish heads keep the videos rolling

[@CD19755]

As far as the live, I don't like it and do think it's "cheating", but it's a legal method, so do what you do! LoL my dad is in his 80's now and I've seen that man call more fish trolling with a hummingbird 66 flasher than most guys with live scope today! I think we get too caught up in methods, catch and release, technology, etc that we forget that we fish to have FUN! God bless and tight lines!

[@olivercook8711]

I hope technology advances fast because I'd like to be able to afford a live setup.....until then I'll pay attention to the areas you find fish and look at my own lakes and bodies of water. If you can afford it then sweet but I'm not gonna harp on someone that can afford it because I can't 😉🤷

[@brett_Thorpe]

Hey. Great job Tom. One day I will upgrade to live scope etc. I have to learn what I have first.. Helix 7’s with MDI on my boat. They are new and still figuring them out lol.

[@UncleKrusty68]

Technology doesn't catch fish. It will help you find them, but somedays, they just don't cooperate. Keep up the great fishing content.

[@JOJO761]

When are you going to be in Billings Mt.

[@joemartin6439]

I had and iPhone 11, but mega live would be Fantastic for this Canadian. 😢 I run a Gramin EchoMap Chirp Sv. Which is new use for me . Learning side view now . Best for me is is the Pro Nav Angler on my power V2 Minn Kota and Navionics maps of my lake .Lovesick in the Kawartha Lakes. Boat is a Lund DXL 16. Live view is a dream for the 3 year wait. I have to used my own money

[@jj7457]

Theres not a fisherman out there who woudnt install Humminbird Live if someone gave it to them.

[@antoncarlson9816]

Hey Tom I was wondering if you could try to fish in island lake reservoir or fish lake reservoir. Minnesota

[@gordjohnson70]

Drop shot weights.... Use removable split shot. Cheap and just pull them off if snagged. Pinch on another one or two.

[@johnschreier8150]

Heading to Leech next Monday. Are you planning to be there between now & then as you make your way further West? I didn't grow up on walleye.......would be interested to hear your thoughts on what tactic to start with first. TIA

[@rickdesj6555]

Everyone uses technology these days. Even the old timers have flashers on the ice now. I can’t wait until I can upgrade my units. 👌

[@mikeptaschinski3187]

Ever utilize the AutoChart feature on your HBirds? If not, why not?

[@davidraguse2106]

Great video as normal... Nice boat just a question on boat selection hull types and sizes.. how much does your boat impact on the fish stealth wise ...how much water you push and thrust needed to move and hold position wave noise hitting the hull...how far is a good distance to stay off the fish so the don't feel pressured? Your opinion is valued

[@patrickethier6190]

Do you miss the alumacraft with the width you get compared to the warrior... I know it's a deep boat the warrior but I kind of like the width also

[@bradmatz8622]

I don't care what anyone says you are a great fisherman because I have the electronics but some days I find the fish and cannot get them to eat

[@Noone-zq4xm]

I remember back in the day years ago when I told I was catching walleye with drop shot and you looked at me sideways😂

[@Noone-zq4xm]

*told you

[@leefredrickson398]

Hey Tom, Yesterday I landed a 23' walleye in winter kill lake water. 8.5 deep. Traditional sonar Helix 5. She came off a mild mud bottom slant. 75 degrees water. On a spinning bait. I've never had much luck fishing cold fronts bites but many on the sonar. How would you fish cold fronts with traditional sonar?

[@pywifishingandoutdoors]

Tom, would you ever consider a couple of day boat camping trip? I thought about doing it once bc its hard to get me off the water unless boat traffic and pressure is just insane. Just a crazy thought.

[@christopherfilzen3739]

Premium content as usual

[@TomBoley]

Thanks for watching

[@dmouse522]

Tom, do you fish with the antireverse always on? The carbon x is so smooth it backspools easily on me if not.

[@shawnmurray7919]

Tom when are you in Billings MT?

[@TomBoley]

Aug 1

[@bad_vaporizer]

I haven't seen your friend on in a while.

[@michaellemay]

I'm new to targeting Wallys and to using any relatively new electronics. Idk if Tom has covered this but from videos and Humminbirds site, w my limited perspective I can't figure out why live imagine is a game changer worth the money (I've also never used it myself). SI you can find spots quickly, DI you can see if fish are there. If you know how to use information your SI and DI give you, you should still be able to put the bait in front of fish right? Are Live and even MEGA for that matter is just more resolution to make things more visually appealing or what's the huge advantage? Just another confirmation in addition to the SI/DI set up? I've gone to THE Amazon and fished for a month for less than the price of the live transducer so I'm just trying to understand what functional value is added exactly.

[@TomBoley]

It's far and away the most accurate way to make extremely pinpointed casts. It has many uses. But obviously it is expensive and maybe isn't for everyone. If you enjoy high level electronics it will be your best friend

[@michaellemay]

@@TomBoley I hope I get the chance to try them out someday!

[@scottrouwhorst881]

Nice

[@jeffnorman2755]

Tom I really enjoy your videos but you don't really show how to use that drop shot rig are you letting it sit are you twitching it are you dragging it what's going on in the water with that drop shot rig

[@nchec326]

How do you like the 131? Is it worth the extra money?

[@TomBoley]

It's similar to 832 but much softer and quieter

[@owenkunkle6245]

Anyone else haven trouble with the Walleye Know App buffering. Didn't use to and no other app on my phone is doing it?

[@keithzelinske2253]

Tom , how do you feel about drop shotting in a flowage? My impression is that one would get snagged too much. Thoughts?

[@TomBoley]

Pon pointing fish is key to drop shot...not just trying to cover water ...which would get you snagged up

[@keithzelinske2253]

@@TomBoley makes sense. I'm fishing a northern wisco flowage this upcoming weekend. I have the walleyenow app btw but what aspects or conditions would dictate whether you use a spinner rig with crawler or leech vs plain hook on a drop shot vs a slip bobber?

[@MrHarryson1985]

Also,I get disproportionately irritated by line through the zipper. Seems like, more often than not it comes right on the heels of some other tedious task.

[@Sageofthe16]

keep the dropshot on the DL please.....

[@mixdoe2885]

the new technology means we need to lower limits

[@TomBoley]

Agreed

[@alandavis4885]

The landing net, Tom. Don't forget to give it a mention. I'm patiently awaiting some info on it ... 😉 Also, where can one order some quality leeches online at a reasonable cost?

[@duggaboy]

Dusty Slay...."we're having a good time."

[@bradbarnes9241]

What rod and reel combo are you using?

[@tagger1972]

It's in the video description.

[@2triscuit]

Post it note 😂

[@ericd7761]

Waiting for Black Friday for a live setup and I hear the same stuff from my old man. Does anyone have input on garmin vs bird? I run birds right now but am open to running livescope

[@Dbars19]

ppl have rose tinted glasses when it comes to that lake. Sure there arnt as many 50 pound musky as there use to be.

[@leonardmartin5145]

$100,000 boat hope you like it!!!

[@Muskiehunter4841]

The key is not a drop shot but live scope. That way you don’t have to fish anymore you just catch..😂

[@levischoll8245]

When you hitting leech

[@korycolorado]

Dropshot is a transfishable rig, doesn't discriminate between fish species 😂

[@TomBoley]

It's very inclusive

[@korycolorado]

​​@@TomBoley dropshot saved my trip yesterday, slow day but found a pile of small lake trout willing to play. Keep up the great fishing videos! How far west are you heading?

[@lawrencesmith9909]

Gas station food? Seem to be catching better then u get there lol

[@jacecrawford6015]

Why eat gas station food when you could eat amazing walleye?

[@wesvohnoutka625]

Use all the electronics you want, but also have your life jackets and throwable readily available and stuffed in a compartment is not readily available. You have people that want to see you at the end of each day. Just saying

[@RitzMudsnail]

This "How to" didn't have any "How to" but instead "Look at my $10,000 electronics!". Give me a real "How to" C'mon man... you've changed.

[@erics667]

There isn't as much 'how to' since he put the mobile app out which is expected and fine by me. Not like all his old videos are gone anyway, plenty to learn from them if you forgot 'How to'. Dude needs to make living somehow.

[@teamskunkonly2763]

Now, say it without crying 😅😅😅

[@icefisher1171]

Apparently your insane jealousy clouded your vision and didn't allow you to see the pattern, bait, rod, reel, and to hear the advice given. Sad little fella. Maybe you should stick to Legos or coloring books. Something more your speed. Peace, champ.

[@chrishribek429]

Learn how to fish with what you have. The tactics and info that Tom explains will help even if you don't have top of the line electronics. Learn how to read between the lines instead of crying

[@Rjkonop15]

Lmao say it with your chest next time. Mega live is like $1500 for the ducer and if you already have a compatible unit your set. Stop crying.
