How To Jig Spring Walleyes Like A Pro

[@bluekagss503]

Tom, you are the most informative fisherman on any forum of watching. I love how you teach each presentation for each lure. Cadence is everything with a jig and you are basically the only person I have come across that teaches this fact. Thanks for all your videos, they have been very helpful.

[@Sureashellisntgoingtobemyemail]

Would you be interested in showing how you launch and load your boat by yourself? As always great content man!

[@michaelblock4397]

I will tell you what, don’t get a swelled head but, by far you are the best one, that I have seen to show people the best way to go walleye fishing.

[@jamiehartzell5286]

Another great video like the detail in teaching jig cadence please keep the videos coming.

[@rogerramjet7567]

Great information Tom. Cadence is everything. Many thanks. Keep on catching.

[@jeremycrocker7728]

Hey Tom your vids are great!! I Fish northwestern Ontario gold walleyes!! Love your knowledge! Would love to see a vid of your boat setup and organization🤟

[@jacobbassett39]

So glad I found your channel. Awesome videos tones of information and technique on how to catch walleye. I’ve learned a lot watching your channel. I love your boat lol

[@DZ-JBH]

Tom, your videos are awesome man! Informative, entertaining and just fun. Some of the best fishing content on YT. I imagine producing these takes a ton of time and work but you make it look easy. Thanks for doing these, extremely helpful! BTW, I think you need to do a video exclusively on Surley (apologies if I spelled that wrong).

[@logandaniels2889]

Im going up to the MN/Canada border soon and i am going to try some of your tactics. Awesome Video.

[@89pockets]

just mooved to a part of az that actualy have walleye, binged a few of your vids and made my first real atempt late afternoon and night not only did i catch my first but managed four and even had a double using the passive drop shot you showed in a vid

[@freeeagle50]

It’s not about looks on presentation of jigging but what matters Is how many fish have you caught at the end of day.

[@dougwalton4831]

Heading to north woods 2nd week of May I cant wait !!!!!

[@craiggelil2885]

Awesome 👍 I finally caught my first walleye thanks for the videos

[@mitchell1520]

@tomboley going jig fishing for walleye this weekend, hope you are well. you look well. hope you are smashing the play button on the new nine inch nails ghosts albums.

[@skyryder7662]

I love the color of those fish !!

[@medsfromtrees2612]

Eh bud, I posted a comment couple days ago about opener and stuff and the tips you giving for walters eh, plus what my buddy taught me last year(he does guiding I think). Man all those tips and practice paid off, I had a blast floating around in my shitty 1980's aluminum canoe, ended up catching maybe 23+lbs of eyes in 6 hours on opener. caught limits almost every for 3 days after too. freezer is packed with nice white walter meat. I tried something weird too, I went to the top of the lake where the wind was blowing me almost directly down the bank of the rocky slopes on the lakes where the water had a deep steep drop on the bank, and I had a green light headlamp on my head. I rigged up some 6lb flouro and a 1/8oz jig head(chartruse/green) with a northland smelt cut 3/4 the length. I'd just wait till i floated over a set of shiny eyes and plop the jig right in front of em, It was night so you could see em no problem. lake had good visibility too. I had a 100% success rate for strikes but like maybe a 50-60% hook set success. they would grab it but not swim away or chew it down, very lethargic response, I'd have to wait 3-4 seconds before setting the hook in order to get a good hook up. Not going to lie it was fun as hell catching enough eyes to forget how many you caught, but I felt like I was cheating. Thanks for all the tips man. Much appreciated!

[@dylanrichards9421]

Do you ever use rippin raps or jigging raps in the spring? If so could you do a video on it?

[@CL_Outdoors93]

Awesome vid Tom - I live a little further south so water temps are almost to 60... would you start to target the outside weed edge as opposed to the inside given our temps here?

[@jar895]

Good timing. Just got to Round Lake going to try it out tomorrow

[@WarnerOnTheWater]

I love the information you give! I fish very similar to this on some of my videos

[@sammoanboua4308]

Thanks for the tips

[@LakeVermilionDreams]

So live bait jigging isn't all that much different that soft plastics. Good to know!

[@verdeanpetersen8350]

Love your videos, when you make it, please tell us conditions. Water temperatures, dates and air temperatures. Thanks

[@Sapper19]

Keep up the great job 👍

[@DownDeepFishing]

Great informed video. Keep em coming.

[@Gloch9]

Tom I’m up in Vilas county on a 100’ deep lake and I’ve been getting skunked for 3 weeks now.... Water temps 44 and I’ve been following all your recent spring videos with no luck, I’m at a loss. I know there’s huge bass, wallys and musky here but I just can’t get any luck. Wish you could come fish here and see what your able to do. Not a lot of flats here just deep, any advice is immensely appreciated.

[@jessiebrickner7129]

Thanks for all the videos, Tom. My fishing has definitely improved in the last year -- at least for smallies. I can catch those by the hundreds it seems but not so many walleye. Needing to practice is a good excuse for getting out on the water more often! Anyways, I'd be curious to see how your fishing style differs when you're fishing in 20-30mph winds and you can't really get out of them (or do you even bother).

[@chrisgustafson9342]

There it is! slow pickup then finish with the POP. Question: beneath dams of swift discharge, what weight jig gets it down there? I feel like I'm fly fishing with just 1/4 oz tied on

[@codygilbert313]

thank you mr. boley!!

[@loganlease1]

Best vids on KZbin

[@daveengstrom9250]

I am 68 years old. Where were you 50 years ago? I could have used this info a long time ago. Thanks.

[@BashSchroeder]

Been Cranking for spring walleyes and absolutely hammering them No idea why. Shallow water cranking is just working for us and Jigging is not this year no idea why

[@rogerschrotenboer2166]

Mr.Boley, have you ever fished plastic craws ,like rage craw for walleye, I would like to see a walleye video with plastic craws to see how walleye react to crawfish plastics, I’ve creamed walleye with bellies full of crawfish

[@rogerschrotenboer2166]

Cleaned sp above

[@johnwalker9388]

Awesome imfoTom love all your stuff

[@talktolee]

Pertaining to Jig color...#1, what are you favorite colors? and #2 how often do you change out colors while you are fishing to experiment on what you think is going to be the go to color?

[@brandonmccoy4186]

In rivers would you want you fish like this on gradual rocky drops?

[@terryscott4945]

I like how keep it short and to the point. Keep it up .

[@mforbes82]

My wife just got done telling me the same.

[@jason21nl]

Another great video-how do you pick a lake you've never been to?

[@fidiusjwhoopie]

Another great vid, how bout some vids in big wind....??

[@krishall3187]

I have a question on why use braid for this over a spool of 6/8 lb florocabon?

[@grandmabetty7173]

How do you fish a jig in weeds? Whenever I have tried get hung up on every cast

[@tonys1641]

Lol. Use a weedless jig bud!

[@larryd.collins7996]

You mentioned on one of your videos the Carbon X 2000, by Piscifun. Is that what you use...understood it was? I ordered one of them and when it arrived, and very quickly( 3 day turn around) it looks much smaller than the reel you are using....just wondering what you actually use. Thanks.

[@msinger1961]

Electronics question. Do you run your electronics from your starting battery? If so what type of starting battery do use? When I run my two Helix 7’s while using trolling motor it eats up my starting battery as I have both units powered by my starting battery. Thanks really enjoy your vids

[@warddan2002]

Sing Sing starting batteries are not intended to be used for trolling motors. Trolling motor batteries are designed to be deep cycle where trolling motors can draw deep into the battery's reserve. Main motor cranking batteries can handle electronics, bilge pumps, aerators in addition to its main purpose which is to crank the mai motor. Hope this is helpful.

[@Bass123bart]

How’s the walleye fishing on round lake

[@anxiouskoala5202]

Great video

[@shane1022]

How fast are you moving when your jigging?

[@ericcarlsen7544]

Do you have any recommendations for keeping the line tight while fishing in heavy wind? I often cast from a dock that is surrounded by rocks, but the wind often blows the line. Is the solution to use a bigger jig? I’ve been fishing a 1/8oz

[@rawrxd7826]

Do you troll with crawler harnesses or with lures? I do it here where I live in Canada and I have alot of fun trolling for them I also jig for them to

[@codyesmay581]

HOOKED UP

[@nickgraf6994]

Tom do you run braid right to the jig or use a flouro leader? What lb. Braid? thanks excellent vids you are mega pro

[@Randy_Savage_ohyeah]

He said in this video.... 10lb braid with 8-10lb flouro leader

[@mooseguyable]

I love your vids thanks Awesome Like like

[@willmayberry3070]

How much do you or others on here think it increases your bite rate tying on a fluoro leader for clear water lakes vs tying jig directly to main braid line?

[@TomBoley]

I can indefinitely say you will get far more bites by tying in a lead.

[@druzzerretsel6591]

How do u jig for crappie

[@markusc.7544]

Hey Tom. New to walleye fishing. Do you recommend a rod for those that don't have $300 or who's wife will flip if he spends that much? Love your videos bro!

[@brandondeyo2574]

I like Fenwick rods you can get one for around $100 plus a reel.

[@shootermcgavin991]

Daiwa RG Series for $70. 7 ft ml xf

[@tribalkilly8660]

Ugly stick best deal for the money 7.5ft medium heavy

[@richardantonelli7746]

Do you a mono leader from your braided line?

[@klappy803]

assuming a fluro leader I think he's mentioned it in other videos

[@louismanka]

How many casts do you get out of a minnow? I feel like I lose so many in my casts. Is there a technique for getting more out of each minnow?

[@jeffmeyer617]

Check out “Bait Buttons”.

[@briancarlson6338]

Do you have any issues with the eyes coming off of the google eye jigs ?

[@TomBoley]

No more than any other jig. They have a good hook

[@nhiquach152]

what lake do u fish in northern wi ??

[@DZ-JBH]

Is that 10# braid or 10# diameter braid (meaning 40# mono equivalent)?

[@shootermcgavin991]

10# braid. Equivalent to like 4 lb mono. Try sunline x plasma. Awesome stuff

[@privateidho]

Water temp, depth, structure, sand??

[@jonnymoore3268]

Are you moving when your jigging or are you spot locked?

[@mauerpowerful]

I’m curious to know my self if you are anchored or trolling

[@Araes10]

Jeez got enough rod holders haha

[@fishingwitheddie1535]

Who else has never caught a walleye or of gone walleye fishing but I might have the opportunity to do it in the future so Is trying to get all the information they can they don’t look like a complete noob

[@ronstrohman516]
