How to Fish Swimbaits for Summer Walleyes - Walleye Fishing

[@jeffwenrick7682]

Tom, you have finally struck the perfect balance of information and fish catching footage. Absolutely the perfect informational video about a technique that I have never seen before. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. I will be trying this technique out tomorrow on Lake Erie.

[@nobert6318]

How did it work on Erie?

[@jeffwenrick7682]

@@nobert6318 Hey Nick, there were 3-4 footers on the lake and I was drifting like 1.2 mph, but I used the swimbait on a 1/2 oz jighead and casted downwind. To my surprise I did catch a walleye, a perch and a few sheephead. It was hardly the right conditions, but the technique still worked. I can't wait to try it under better conditions.

[@MrBloosBoy]

Yes, thanks for discussing your rig set up. Very helpful. I love to fish swim baits but have never snap fished them. I am going to give it a try.

[@jcwilky]

That was awesome and some good sized walleyes! Sweet!

[@northwoodsnelson3852]

Awesome info Tom ! Caught my New PB Walleye on the big pond after watching your last Spring walleye Vid on jigging techniques, Such a Fun bite !

[@TomBoley]

Good work

[@michaelaskey6130]

It was a pleasure to meet you out on mille lacs . You sure make fishing look easy . Hope someday we can get on the water together and put some fish in the boat.

[@TomBoley]

Good meeting you. Enjoy vacation.

[@michaelaskey6130]

My 4 year old son caught a 29 inch walleye on a drift yesterday morning with his little ugly stick push button rod . He set the hook and reeled it in all by himself. He wouldn't let me touch his rod . Really proud of the boy. We did really well drifting leeches and trolling purple shad raps or purple flicker minnows . Hope the Hayward bite is hot for ya this week. Take care bud.

[@HuntFishComment]

Great video, like said before perfect balance of information/entertainment. A killer technique for the entire open water season. Thanks for the great content

[@letitgo8336]

Top notch Tom always enjoy your videos

[@TomBoley]

Thanks for watching

[@bobkirkson]

Just awesome information to absorb!!!! This guy is awesome keep up the great work Tom 👍

[@Big88Country]

Awesome! Very nice walleye! I live in NC and have taken a few trips into Canada on a fly in only secluded lake out of Earfalls. That was about 10 years ago and I used big swim baits and had great luck using them back then. First year I went it was still snowing on us in June and I almost froze to death being from North Carolina. The guys I went with all worked for Johnsonville.

[@pbettin21]

If you watch most fishing shows it like they don’t want to fully explain what they’re doing so they don’t give away all their techniques or something. Thank you for explaining in depth different techniques. Sub’d

[@katieoconnell4559]

Thank you for showing the graph on most of your vids!!

[@timothymoriarty373]

Love your vids and how instructional and informative you make them on top of fishing for Walleye I’ve been trying to target them in TableRock Lake in Missouri My son and I happened to find them around a bridge piling feeding on shad in 54 FOW The bite went to zilch after two weeks so now we’re trying other spots now to find the baitfish We are going to try your slip bobber tactics and see what we can hit We don’t have spotlock so will throw a marker and make drift attempts with the bobbers It’s a deep body of water lots of rock ledge shores falling off into really deep water Still Learning our Hummingbird and wanting to upgrade to a Helix 12

[@ksoutdoorsports]

Thank you! Very informative all we need to know about swim bait video. Mille Lacs has some beautiful Walleye's.

[@jcwilky]

that was awesome!! Great footage and always best when you catch as you demonstrate the technique. Trying it this weekend. Cheers

[@ChrisKingAngling]

Awesome vids! So true that you need to trigger strikes some days with plastics versus just swimming them back to the boat or shore.

[@TomBoley]

Plastics day in day out get be more fish

[@ChrisKingAngling]

@@TomBoley Hey Tom. I'm going to start guiding in the near future and was wondering if you could send some specs on your boat.

[@timmyconnelly402]

Hi Tom. I want a boat just like that so bad might take me a year or too but IAM so gonna get it done, thanks for the great videos !!!

[@DairylandLegends]

Great content, Tom! I love seeing what type of rod, reel, and line that you are using! I think it’s very important! Keep it up!

Hey Tom!! What kind of rod, reel, line are you using?? lol You said you get asked about it on every video so I thought I'd do my part and ask. lol Yeah, I know, 10,000 comedians out of work and your stuck with me. Keep up these great teaching videos.

[@knottedup3711]

Great video! 👍

[@NortherIke]

Awesome!

[@BenPlass]

I've been looking for an informative, "fluff-free" fishing channel to learn how to be a better fisherman. This is a great channel. Thank you Tom. I fish Winnebago mostly, I think I'm going to give this a try. Any special time of year for swim baits?

[@erikcalhoun2799]

Could this technique work in the grass/reeds as well? Maybe have to rig it differently?

[@josephdurkin8180]

You know they make weedless swimbait hooks right?????

[@johnwalker9388]

Tom love your videos what kind of super glue is that gorilla

[@WesleyKennedy]

What are you looking for when you decide to use this technique? Is it time of year/weather driven or are you seeing certain baitfish, schools or structure on your electronics that you Target with this technique?

[@MNbassing]

Badass video dude

[@garymolson4441]

Love these videos, Tom. In many of them, including this one at :15, 3:35, & 9:29, you like to say '? off, fish on' when you hook up. I just can't seem to make out what that first word is. Anyone? Thanks.

[@harleysmith3895]

hes saying “hooked up”

[@RushVoorhisOutdoors]

hahaha would have loved to watch this video about a week ago LOL

[@outdoorsman9384]

Tom can i do this technique in lake Erie in 40 ft

[@eileenhudson9140]

Great info 👍. Love your info on type of line an especially how to use fish the bate an how the combination produces, once again great job. Do you ever do one on fresh water strippers?

[@johnwilkening5262]

u ever notice the walleyes, look like there starving at mille, lacs? they always look so skinny, or is that from them trying to get through the gill nets?

[@TomBoley]

Seems to be a year to year thing. Also they are just about as thin as they can be this tome of year

[@danieljohnson327]

great show dude . your a dude.

[@TomBoley]

Thanks for watching

[@williammawk1720]

Im a Columbia River walleye fisherman but i have never tried jigging a swimbait but will give it a try now. I couldn't quite tell, were you anchored, drifting or under some sort of power?

[@nicholaslindberg4278]

Are you spot locked or are you still trolling and if you are trolling at what speed? Snap jigged a limit of walleyes on Gull last week with your jogging rap video advice. Love the videos

[@TomBoley]

Spotlocked. Good work!

[@nickcampbell9258]

Something about fishing huge lakes like that turns me off I love fishing my cover in smaller bodies of water

[@TomBoley]

I am the opposite

@@TomBoley probably because we both grew up doing them, it's like smoking a pack of reds your whole life and switching to menthal lol

Im catching walleye down here in GA. They are so much thicker than what I see caught up north. I wonder if its a bait thing of a dna thing.

Hey Tom what was the simms jacket you were beginning in the video? Is it the 2018 challenger?

Wheres "out here"? Would these work on Winnebago, if so where on Winnebago?

Whats is your best depht To snap jigging thank you

[@V-man88]

Aye man, any tips for fishing the great lakes, specifically Traverse city/sleeping bear national lakeshore. Most people just go out for salmon and lake trout/smallies, but i gotta believe that theres some walleye out there. You probably get alot of questions, so ill keep asking. Fish on!

[@jeremyanaya5102]

Great video! Swimbaits are my favorite. Do you ever just cast and retrieve with swimbaits or do you typically rip em?

[@TomBoley]

I don't fish them that way much. Except for smallmouth

[@john1josjohn1jos]

Do you use this technique while anchored, drifting or trolling? Thanks great video, too bad we can't keep any fish anymore.

[@robertrodriguez891]

Nice vid. What kinda jig head are you using?

[@TwistedT3rry]

Would this technique work early June in Wisconsin? Lake I fish most is at average about 6.5 feet? Anchor on ipilot and cast rock piles in the lake?

[@TomBoley]

Absolutely

When would you switch to a split tail rather than a paddle tail?

[@nolzgaming5542]

Luke Johnson I typically fish a split tail in colder water temps and once the water hits the 60° mark then switch to a paddle tail. Not an expert by an means but that’s what has worked well for me!

[@TomBoley]

Interchangeable

Tanned hands,lots of time on the water for sure
