We are back in a boat! In this video we pick up a new boat and put it on the water right away. We wanted to feature some content this year in a smaller boat fishing smaller water. I hope you all enjoy the content from the Jon boat. In this video we head to a small central Wisconsin river and catch some early spring walleyes on the river. Thanks for watching!

Last thing a walleye ever wants to hear. Tom’s fired up and has a new boat😂

[@davidtisch5237]

There’s not one boat size fits every situation. If you can own multiple boats why not. Glad to see something new on this channel for 2024

[@heatherlandskron]

wow great video and congratulations new boat.!! thank you for sharing Tom and awesome editing Mitch!! have a good day and weekend. enjoy your videos!!

[@mikekramer8491]

As a small boat fisherman, I can relate. Mostly small lakes in my area but I appreciate the more modest approach. Great video, your enthusiasm is addicting!

[@TomBoley]

Thanks for watching! Yeah I definitely wanted to go in a simpler direction for a fair amount of content this year.

[@jamesjahnke5721]

Great to see you back. Soft water coming early this year. Looking forward to more videos on your new rig. Congrats 🎣

[@briankent8231]

Lookin Good Tom and Mitch….. glad to see your back!!!!!!

[@agbfish1]

I really enjoy your videos. I’m 63 and live in Minnesota. Lots of little lakes to choose from also. Besides my Ranger boat, I have a 12 foot little aluminum with a 9.9 on it. That little boat is loads of fun also and gets me into those small lakes 😉. Even your music on this video is enjoyable. 🎣🙂 There are many different ways to fish that are fun! 👍

[@raystomberski4480]

Thanks for the great videos, awesome info on river fishing thanks again

[@wisconsinfamilyoutdoors8074]

Hell yeah Tom and Mitch are back!! Great tips on the jig weights and how to work jig with current!! Nice rig!!

I like the realistic blue collar boy fishing set up, simplicity at its best👊

We have had a lot of fun in that boat so far this spring

[@Natec_photo]

Big fan of the new camera setup! Looks super crisp and like always, love the b roll sizzle reel segments. Awesome job editing Mitch!!

I have to say i am interested in seeing how your trips go this year with this style of boat. It will be worth watching thanks!

[@TomBoley]

It'll be an adventure. That was the main goal.

Thanks Tom. I’ll look into them. 👍

Thanks yeah we are loving the excel boat. I really wanted to be able to showcase a different style of fishing this year!

[@tobinlakeguideservices]

That’s a cool boat. First thing I thought of was bow fishing carp. Enjoy the early spring boat.

Glad to see you down fishing my neighborhood again 😁

[@TomBoley]

It's pretty down there!

[@Scott-uu4uu]

Awesome boat!! Exactly what I have to hunt ducks out of mainly here in Montana . Great fishing boat as well , getting the itch to get out on the water for sure ! Great videos , love your content !!

[@ronaldcameron6201]

Nice boat , I really like how you got the fish finders placed

[@trudave_official]

Your dedication to the art of fishing is truly inspiring!

[@Eagle621]

I have 8 different fishing boats, from a 18’ Bass Buggy down to a inflatable single man pontoon. My favorite is the 15’ Lund John boat with a 25 hp motor, MinnKota and three Humminbirds networked, plus live well, bait box, three batteries and tons of lighting. My go-to Walleye boat for the mountain rivers and lakes in East TN/North GA. Right tools for the right job… Have a great boat season and keep the content coming👍

[@TomBoley]

That's awesome. I'm excited to have a boat that can get to some of that skinny water!

[@Eagle621]

Lets not get carried away here.....

[@davidchristensen8462]

Hey Tom how about doing a video on the prep like hotels and how many people do you normally travel with and how you keep all the equipment from walking away? I hate leaving my boat unattended at night.

[@daddyfixer3963]

Now you need to add some duck hunting to the channel

[@TomBoley]

I agree!

[@chasestenson5488]

The Dynamic duo is back on open water!! Nice video and team work fellas. Appreciate the effort.

[@TomBoley]

Ohh it feels good to be back!

[@ihus9950]

Wow, looks like a nice boat and setup 👍🏻

[@TomBoley]

Thanks it's been a super fun little rig so far

[@jeromekeller1515]

Nice boat Tom. Always great to watch your videos. You might want to grab a boat cushion to sit on next time. Bet your butt got cold. Can’t wait to see you out on the bay.

[@Combatkid174]

Wow not what I was expecting. I was expecting a larger big water deep "V". Given how you fish, this is definitely your style. Have fun and enjoy.. BTW I really enjoyed your channel..

[@celinel7262]

Nice boat Tom !! But for me the best fishing boat is Alumacraft competitor 185 or 205 👍have nice day and good season

[@brianharrington5593]

Congrats on the new boat. Fit right in this year. Last couple of years you were a tad over the top end. No complaints, as you have to work along with the boat builders. Seems like a pretty safe vessel. You won't need a net now as your butt is pretty close to water surface and can just scoop 'em out by hand. Understand some issue with audio as Mitchell didn't have a microphone on did he? Keep up the fantastic filming Mitch, and you might get yourself a hot meal or two this season.

[@Mortarman-Nowinsky]

You’re back! Thought you fell off the map! Congrats on the boat!

[@TomBoley]

We have been stockpiling open water content for a month. Excited to let it all go now!

[@Intimidator82]

This time of year is rough on all of us, that transition between ice and open water, looks like you made the most of it!

[@TomBoley]

I know. We have been on the water for 3 weeks now... It feels incredible haha

[@patgingras5974]

Nice to see you guys back at it, was starting to wonder where you guys went! I also got the new boat fever this year, getting a new rig wich will be a major upgrade from the 14’ I’ve been fishing out of for the past 10 years Cheers guys

[@TomBoley]

Congrats and good luck on the water

[@davidtisch5237]

Looking forward to some skinny water videos new content coming soon let’s put the boat thru her places

[@danielfoster9999]

Really like this. Boat like is perfect for the lakes we have in northeast Indiana and there are a ton of them. Smaller rather than large is the norm here. And a lot of people can't afford an "expensive" boat.

[@theobserver9565]

Welcome back Tom.

[@TomBoley]

Thank you

[@morrowoutdoors1336]

Now I can relate to your videos, cause I have a small boat

[@user-hi5fe1mi4m]

Have owned this same boat a few years but with a mud buddy and it has treated me well

Cool rig! Will be cool following along on this series. Hmmmm, maybe a little cast and blast (fish and deer hunt) episode down a river this fall??

That is exactly what we were thinking..

Nice video 🎣🎣👍🤛

[@francismotzko8487]

Good to see the everyday type fishing an old retired guy like me uses to fish smaller waters. I fish out of a 16 ft Lund white water edition. Humminbird altera and Helix 9. So I can really look forward to your upcoming videos fishing smaller waters. Thanks for doing some videos for us non pro fishermen that can't afford a $100 G rig. Tight lines and I hope to see you on the water some day. I would love to see some videos on the upper Mississippi between Little Falls and Brainard and Atkin MN.

[@TomBoley]

Upper miss is interesting! Definitely some small boat water up there!

[@daveholte7658]

Did the same 2 years ago at Ft Peck MT Got a Jon for skinny water 3”-4” so I can jig Saugers on the Milk or on wind free days I jig lakers in 90 fow That’s an experience Key wi th my jon is Yamaha 115/80 ….Jet Drive…… It is a must $35K vs $135K No brainer Fish don’t give a crap what $ you have Fish On Enjoy the year

Love these videos. You make it look sooo easy! Buy rechargeable AA batteries!!!!

[@TomBoley]

Thanks for watching. Also... We don't post many videos of the days we don't catch em

[@wallydrifter]

Another great video. Quick question what's your go to knot for braid to leader? I use uni to uni and I find it catches in my eyelets and will close the bail on my piscifun carbon x. I casted off 3 jig heads last week until I switched rods to a straight mono set up.

There’s always gonna be haters you do a good job. Keep it up love to see the new boat you deserve it.

[@TomBoley]

Appreciate it. Thanks for watching

[@EricSmith-tp5gc]

Nice new Boat Tom! This should be an interesting open water season. 10% of the fishermen catch 90% of the fish. And it doesn’t matter what boat you put the fisherman in. Good Luck! Maybe Mitch gets a decent meal this year?

[@Eagle621]

And 90% of the fish are in 10% of the lake…😊

Not like it's your only boat🤣🤣💪

[@randyalbright2011]

I have a similar set up that's almost too small for the waters I fish lol. But one recommendation I need to do myself yet is hydroturf the floor. It gets darn hot in summer and my deck gets slippery as well.

[@Iowa_A_K]

I run a 17' alweld for walleye fishing on the mississippi River. When i take it to northern minnesota, they look at me funny! I prefer it to a full sized alumacraft any day. Can go so many more places!

[@michaelnabbadventures]

Not what I thought,love that thing totally how I usually fish here in eastern Ohio

[@TomBoley]

We are definitely excited to show a different style of content.

[@twon18c54]

Great video Tom. I have been debating myself all winter whether to buy a deep v console with new electronics or save a ton of money and update my Lowe Roughneck 1756 with your type of setup. Your new series will help. Thanks. Oh, by the way, the biggest lake I fish here in central Illinois is Lake Shelbyville. What a great idea for a video. Shelby on Shelbyville!

[@TomBoley]

Yeah there is definitely something to be said about these smaller rigs. Super versatile and you can put enough electronics in them to make it super comfortable

[@dankrupp321]

Hey Tom, nice boat. I like your idea of showing how to fish smaller water. One thing I'd like to point out. I see you put another live on this boat. Im sure you're aware of the spring hearings question about banning FFS in wi. Maybe you could use your influence to help to help people realize that this technology isn't a bad thing. Maybe a video addressing the subject. Thanks Tom. Love your videos.

[@1shubing]

Yes, it would be good to get Tom's opinion on a Live and 360 ban in Wisconsin. And maybe strategies for fighting this.

[@sylvainlaurence1554]

Just don’t know wath to think about it, it’s good and bad,ying and yang, some lake more than others?..??

[@dankrupp321]

@sylvainlaurence1554 how is it bad? Side imaging is a much stronger tool. You can see farther, at faster speeds on both sides of the boat at the same time. FFS just helps you pinpoint your cast. All electronics help you find fish faster. It comes down to people being responsible with the natural resource, and we both know some people are not going to be. So, the real solution is to implement rules that allow people to take some fish home, but not hurt the resource. That means lower bag limits and / or slot limits. This needs to happen not because of FFS, but all electronics in general. All this new technology makes fishing easier, but people choose to point the finger at FFS because they don't realize that it's not really any more of an advantage than the other electronics that have been around for quite some time now.

[@AdventuresoftheLandNorth]

Sweet little rig. I could see that set up in my future for river fishing here on pool 8 but yet versatile enough to handle most of the waters I fish near our cabin in Radisson. Question. Are you using any seats? Casting seat for the front deck?

[@JAB00777]

Ironically ive reregistered my 13 foot cranberry creek canoe made in Cadott , Wi with A square stern transom for putting A trolling motor on the back and added electronics .... very efficient for parking right on top if fish and dead sticking ...back in 2010 fished some of the small lakes of eastern Sawyer county and now will be fishing lakes in Vilas County where I live and UP Michigan , lotta small lakes that youll have to yourself 🎣

There is definitely a time and place for the small rig. I'm excited to get in on some of that action this year!

@@TomBoley with the astronomical cost of new bigger boats , perhaps simpler is better and escape to the lakes off the beaten path

Well that's different! Really basic from your last few boats. Huge downsize in the motor, as well. Looking forward to this season's small water theme. Great snowstorm in the new boat!! What are you defining small rivers as? Would you consider the St Louis or the St Croix as smaller rivers? Really like the tackle tips, also. Thanks!

Tom, I’m retired, live in Arkansas, and I’m a big fan of your videos. I’ve only caught walleyes on trips to the BWCAW on the Canadian side near Ely. *I have a new Jon boat - a Double XX 2160, 21 ft x 60 inches wide and 80hp Mercury Jet designed for shallow trout waters, but want to fish for walleyes on lakes and rivers also. *How useful would your Walleye Now app be for me living in Arkansas? *I also have my first ever fish locator - a Helix 10 with side imaging that I haven’t even used yet. After watching you, I want a live scope now, but have a lot to learn already.

[@grantjamrock3812]

That cheap john boats engine is nicer than my ol 165 navigators engine...cost more than whole boat too lol!

[@BJ-1203]

Should do a side console next

[@rippinglipsadventures]

Guys! That looked like a lot of fun for sure. Did you ditch the big ol' Warrior for this season then? Looks like a great option for all the smaller ponds. Don't forget, Tentacle Sync Track E recorders give you 10 hours+ whatever if you connect an external battery to them. Plus, they sync all audio and video you connect the Sync devices to. A little spendy up front, but cheaper than 16 batteries a day. ;) I do need to replace my internal batteries on mine after two years, but they're still getting me 7 hours of recording time being well worn.

[@TomBoley]

It is a fun little boat for sure. We went with the Sony Uwpd27 Mics. Now we just run em on external power and they are all fine... Took a little while for a couple of idiots to figure it out haha
