River Fishing For Fall Walleyes

[@irboone]

I’ve tried this stretch of river quite a few times in the last few years. Watching this will get me back there. Thanks for listening to your audience and making videos that are truly beneficial to all of us weekend warriors!

[@anthonymonacelli7790]

where is it?

[@jkvisker]

Thanks for doing a River video. Much appreciated!

[@loos15]

Aw, love the St. Croix. Thanks for doing a video on it. Wish I had a boat lol.

[@josephacker5716]

Doubles up in the storm👍👍👍👍 I still find it amazing how more times than not that less than stellar weather turns on the bite, good job. Really liking your videos, looking forward to more.

[@slowsleeper550]

Awesome! Nice seeing you guys fish the same river I do and producing!

[@country3608]

Your lucky Tom !! I live in Northeast Iowa,, and any lakes, which are not a lot of , are small!! The only Walleye lakes that are in our area are 100 miles and further away. The only Walleye we have is in the Mississippi River!! They (DNR) did stock our smaller river but not many are caught!! There’s to many dams on our smaller rivers and I believe they (The Walleyes) go over them and can’t get back up over the dams to get back up the river? DNR will not stock any of our lakes around here because they are smaller then 400 acres ?? So we’re not in my favorite fish , Walleye county!😞. Thanks for the videos, they get me wound up 🎣👍

Hi Tom, i'm a local who fishes that area 3-4 times a month. I fished that exact spot for 6 hours 4 days ago and didn't catch a single fish. There was tons of shad everywhere. You're a better fisherman than me! I'll warn you though. Once you start fishing rivers you never want to go back to lakes!

[@jamesxiong2740]

Fishing my neck of the woods! Great fishery, enjoyed this vid and all your other ones. Tight lines!

[@dh_hamdi4866]

No experience and caught all that fish! You’re a legend Tom.

[@joelfesler131]

I live on the Mississippi River Tom, caught several walleye and saugers there in Stillwater Minnesota, you should try Red Wing Minnesota, and Lake Pepin

[@josephtruskowski688]

For sure. Lake Pepin would be awesome!

[@Brady1203]

Definitely Pepin!

[@jonnymoore3268]

Great video, it was interesting watching you and Tom fishing out of your normal approach.

[@jameswinnett4012]

Fun day on something different! Thank for the change up, although wherever you fish it's fun to watch!

[@brockmeeks9780]

Looks like a great day to fish.

[@darrylhamer8960]

This was great because of how you attacked a "type" of unfamiliar water to find spots. That's the hardest part for most of us I'm sure - finding the fish in a large area of water with nothing but a map. Would have liked to see the Humminbird views of what the fish looked like when you saw them but it looked like the fish told you more than the fish finder on this trip. Great video Tom and Mitch!.

[@45degreenorth24]

Stellar video . I fish the Columbia and Willamette in Oregon and fishing methods that I can most easily apply to my water would be very similar to those in your video. Thanks for the lesson

[@kevinmorgan2258]

Thanks for river tips. My brothers and I fished the Mississippi by Clinton Iowa on Wednesday. I wish I’d seen the episode before our trip. Thanks

[@justintuman1268]

You're in my backyard. Lot's of great fishing to be had from now to ice up. Nice work guys!! Hope to see you out there.

[@louismanka]

Thanks for the river show!

[@thea4006]

Tom, I’m a novice using your technique and we are catching walleyes by Prescott. Thank you so much for the information our first year and we are getting great fish

[@travismcmeekin2093]

Happy to see this great break down on your game plan . I mostly fish the miss. Great video showing even a pro doesn't always hammer them on a new body of water 😉

[@lifeisbestlivedfishing.jer3692]

yayyy finally a river walleye fishing vid!!!

[@aforgottennativeamerica8439]

Here in Wyoming the rivers are better then the lakes at the tail-end of spring for about 3 weeks. I think its because the rivers here are much much smaller. The first six miles of river system that feed lakes seem to get crowded with walleye. after the spawn dies down for about 2 weeks after they start heading back to the lake youll start catching the big females.

[@j.p.brien-slack6513]

Tom! As a southern walleye and sauger angler who fishes primarily on various Tennessee River reservoirs it's great to see you pounding river saugers! Even though, on the one hand it might be dumb because the fishing is much tougher down here, I'd love to see you come down our way sometime and see if you could use your expertise to catch some of the elusive monsters we have hiding away.

[@joemahoney6235]

thanks for doing a river video I pretty much only fish walleye in rivers

[@jasonrust3101]

Pretty cool video! Especially since you went out of your comfort zone. 👍

[@ReimanRestoration]

Been waiting for a video like this! Thank you!

[@jakephillips650]

Thanks for the river video thats all i have around here to fish on

[@eleganttilemarbleco.1734]

I'm in Neb iraska, so I have NO idea where you were, but it looks like a blast!! Hope to head up to SD and do some of that in the spring. Great job tuffing it out in the storm. Crazy fast weather change. As always very informative. Ur enthusiasm is contagious Tom. Tell Mitchel he needs to come up with his own catch phrase!! LOL Great Job!!

[@joesteen9742]

Ohio pmytuming we only get them spring in river! Great video Tom! Would love you to come fish pmytuming one day!

[@buckndoe9625]

Great video as always and crazy to see that you're on my home water I spend over 200 days a year on the St Croix and right the Snap jigging bite right now is really starting to kick off. number nine jigging raps number six hyper rattles depending on the time of day from 20 to 35 ft on those big points below Afton down to Prescott we're catching some days 50 plus walleyes and a handful of saugers mixed in and we've been getting some big ones a couple 29 1/2 and a dozen over 25 in the last two- three weeks. Wish I would of seen you guys out there but I got home in Prescott just before that crazy windy hail storm blew through.

[@khmaisynz]

Love Prescott. You should definitely try Redwing dam and Pepin.. That spot by the swing bring where you guys were is hot in spring for walleyes. Good stuff nonetheless.

[@radfishguy6784]

Tom and Mitch..you guys rock. Fish tacos yum

[@kylemagnuson537]

Ahahah “do a river video” then goes to my home body of water love it

[@bombnbaits1908]

Always fun when you can have success doing something different. Keep at it. River fishing is awesome. Just started river fishing again. Loving it!

[@visof30]

Awesome video!!! Thanks for all the tips

[@mattharvey968]

fishing is always better when it rains!

[@taylertek4206]

Yes this was great.

[@MrMITCHELL959]

THANKS FOR FISHING MINNESOTA!! GIVES ME SOME IDEAS ON WHERE TO GO AND WHAT TO USE! THANKS AGAIN! ((JUST BOUGHT AN OLDER ALUMACRAFT)) AND CAN'T WAIT TO GET HER OUT ON THE WATER AND GO AFTER SOME WALLEYES! THANKS AGAIN TOM! :)

[@brandonh3888]

Don't forget to try trolling bottom bouncers with kwikfish or lures that wiggle well at slower speed and troll downstream just fast enough to give the lure action especially in the fall!

[@josephtruskowski688]

Tom please take a trip to Lake Pepin/Red Wing! Got 30 eyes and saugers last weekend

[@joelfesler131]

Long point on Lake Pepin is on fire 🔥 and below the dam hit the current seams

[@josephtruskowski688]

Joel Fesler how do you fish long point? We’ve never tried there really.. we were done by la capolis trollling

[@adamhoernemann9554]

Joel Fesler man what were you doing to find em? We’ve seen the head of the lake just full of shad lately.

[@josephtruskowski688]

Adam Hoernemann we had to weed through the little white bass for sure. Pulling cranks was a good way to avoid them

[@eliedube]

Awesome! Do more.

[@RushVoorhisOutdoors]

river fish hit different

[@jamiehartzell5286]

Great river fishing video if you don't have lead core would you use a heavy trolling sinker/ weight ?

[@sauve12]

Tom, You gotta make the trip down to the Detroit river in early April brother.. We who fish the D are master verticle jiggers! You either need to get a vantage, or hop to the front of your boat. Would love to take you out for a day in the spring. would definitely be worth your drive. Lots of potential for a 100 fish day, and definitely have some 30 inchers swimming around.

[@aaronotto7010]

You passed right by me. Was funny. Waved.

[@aaronotto7010]

Hey maybe you should show some spots In Hayward too, haven’t seen a map ever before in your vids.

[@aforgottennativeamerica8439]

Also i found that when jigging the rivers in Wyoming I have to be alot more settle and slow when retrieving my jig

[@davidbrewer8309]

Looks like the chippewa river. That bridge looks familiar

[@evanmadson]

River rat here, been hittin em down in red wing y’all weren’t too far at all st Croix always a good choice

[@brendanandrews9590]

Would love to see you stick some giants on the Mississippi this winter or early spring, stays open year round. Quick question, do you swap your hooks out on your cranks and if you do what hooks do you use?

[@montellwilliams811]

Say , have you ever fished the Illinois river for walleyes or small mouth bass ?

[@marcgagnon1679]

Thanks Tom 🤙

[@edac1078]

Thanks Tom.

[@tphvictims5101]

You could pass as the young guy I fished with years ago on the Delaware. He was a tough guy to teach. The KELLIES

[@levonluther9494]

Good as usual! With current or against it with the lead core

[@TomBoley]

Against

[@levonluther9494]

@@TomBoley 10/4 thanks. Long line against current Saginaw river but never needed lead.

[@RushVoorhisOutdoors]

love a saucy sauger !!

[@fishspike3428]

Thanks for a great video

[@jasonnorthrup3579]

The hail just hit us in Michigan

[@davidl.8864]

How are you trolling - are you using the kicker and trolling motor?

[@twopassionsfishing386]

Great video friend

[@rogerbublitz1722]

Tom, Can you describe what you mean by a neck-down and pinch-point? I enjoy your videos. Always informative.

[@loos15]

Those usually mean where massive amount of water is funneled through a narrow area. Prescott is a great example where all the water is funneled through an area about 100 or so yards wide. You can see it quite well on satellite map.

[@tomdombrovski2782]

Very good good river fishing video, are you coming to millelacs for some full moon trolling?

[@Yuhmuthasaho]

You didn’t cut the rocks out of the drums head for Mitchell?

[@lukedockter1862]

Great vid

[@montellwilliams811]

Say , how deep are you fishing & bait's

[@calvinmonroe2408]

Do yall fish for saugeye, here in oklahoma we have all three

[@travisnunya4641]

What’s the difference in sauger and walleye aren’t they the same fish

[@omjadventuretv7643]

Wow

[@gregeisenbarth2353]

Awwww man,,, Mitchell’s new boat got hailed,,, 50% off,,,???? 🤪
