Super EFFECTIVE Way To Catch Summer Walleyes!

[@bigz5262]

Just wanted to say thanks for the video! Gave me the incentive to get out this morning and ended catching my personal best. Only 28” but to me that’s huge

[@Anonymous-eu2kn]

Only 28” ? Lol Walleye? That’s an amazing fish. You didn’t know that?

[@Anonymous-eu2kn]

Congrats by the way!

[@bigz5262]

@@Anonymous-eu2kn haha yeah a walleye. A lot of people in the area have caught over 30s so that’s why I said it was only 28

[@garypikal5442]

Thanks for showing the fish on the graph. It helps to know what fish look like on the fish locator.

[@troyhoernemann3775]

Hay Tom do you have a depth that you set your slip bobber off bottom when fishing power bobber techniques ? Or are you trying to keep in the same depth so your not add justing every cast 🤔 or do you set like 3ft off bottom to be able to fish multiple depth with out having to change??

[@jondeer5239]

Thanks for showing 2-D and down imaging at the same time.

[@aleckrug1554]

Yeah I didn't think the walleye would look like dots on di.

[@tannerfrancisco8759]

I can't even get fish to show up on my down imaging in the black and orange mode.

[@aleckrug1554]

Sweatshirt came in. Will shoot some pics in it using this technique. Thanks TB!

[@curtadams3281]

Great information, as always. It's always nice to see someone catching fish, when we're too busy to get out ourselves. Keep them coming !

Same as Jon, thanks for the 2- D and DI, for the restivus.

Tom, do you ever do a video fishing shallow, small difficult lakes south of Hayward or the Chip?

Any chance on your next video you could go though all your hummingbird settings! Would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

[@shakeoutdoors3189]

Cool vodeo, I have been catching a lot of walleye using crankbaits on my channel.

[@luke594]

Hey Tom why were you not using mega 360 when you were driving around looking for schools of walleye?

[@glennbarry6327]

Once you mark fish, are you briefly popping the big motor into neutral? Also noticed you seemed to be traveling upwind.

[@michaelbrown5951]

Minnows, crawlers, leeches, plastics? Are they all situationally effective with this technique? Thanks Tom!

[@wisconsindorktrip7873]

All of those are my absolute favorite!

[@billsutorius2753]

What type of Bobber stops are you using with the braided line? Is it the string type or the neoprene type, in a small size I'm assuming. Could you please let us guys know that's the only question I really have that's a great system you have going I just need to know about the barber stop what you recommend for that. Also an excellent tutorial video, thanks Tom

[@Puukko79]

Use 6" mono and tie an uni knot. You just need a bead between the knot and the bobber.

[@InlineOutdoors]

How do you set the depth on your bobbers? I noticed at one point you guys dropped down in 29 feet and then after you guys dropped in 23 feet?

[@reelangling9108]

I've never tried using a slip bobber for walleye. I'll have to test this out.

[@tig3rBite]

Definitely doing this tomorrow morning with gold jig head.. cloudy all day tomorrow, no wind.. should be fire!

[@patricksproperties671]

How'd it go?

[@tig3rBite]

@@patricksproperties671 caught more casting spinner rigs.. power slip bobber wasn't as effective.. it has its days and time.

[@BillsGarageWorks]

When you’re in 25’ of water how deep should you have your bait at? 22-23 ish?

[@bigz5262]

Depends on the water clarity. In clear lakes being higher like that will give more fish a chance to see it

[@williamthompson3581]

I was also curious about where to set the bobber stop given the variable depth, although it's a similar range. Any extra insight is appreciated

[@Johmersimpson]

He didn’t even mention a bobber stop, unless I missed it. Constantly changing it, while he motors around, not sure they did that…I don’t know even if they were using one. He would just say “drop em” when he motored over fish. Probably can still feel the bite though

[@Johmersimpson]

@Jordan Drier he didn’t even mention bobber stops. Makes me believe he is not using them. More interested in the vertical presentation from the big slip bobber he uses, kinda like ice fishing. Can lift it a foot or two once u notice line stopped being taken. On his graphs, the fish are just off bottom or a foot or 2. His buddy nails them when he says to put their lines in/ he’s the one closest to the transducer

[@PieceofshipfishingLLC]

Never herd of this method for eyes very nice

[@bbrocker4uk]

Tom. When you use slip bobbers do you have a bobber stop on the line at the depth you want ? You don't mention a bobber stop.. like a rubber band or string stop.

[@HuckThis1971]

Reminds me when i went deep sea fishing in P. E. I. I was catching all the mackerel and cod.

[@northwoodssportsman792]

What depth are you presetting your depth and then do you ever change the depth?

[@TomBoley]

Always changing the depth on the fly...I drop my rig down next to the transducer and graph how deep it is ....it will show up pretty clear on the hummingbird

[@tomdombrovski2782]

@@TomBoley Tom I live on st.albans bay, south shore and I’m close to opening a rental house across the street from me on a protected harbor that accesses the lake, I would like to work out something with you...drastic discount VS promoting my rental. IM me on Facebook to exchange phone numbers if you are interested. Thanks...awesome content btw

[@kava8902]

So are you trying to put the jig just above the depth the fish are marking? Or about the same depth? Or on the bottom? The egg weight is just used to get it down quicker?

[@neilrippey1344]

Tom do you have multiple rods setup for all the different techniques you try or do you use a few rods and change them as you change techniques?

[@franklee6518]

[@brianknauss6639]

Do you have a specific tool to thread your line through the wobble bobber I found it near impossible to get the line through

[@NorthWoodsWes]

Yeah it's a pain in the arse!! I use a paper clip or wire tie.

[@ryanfedor]

This x1000...they suck to get line through

[@nathansampson4162]

Do it at home and blow it through with an air compressor

[@ryanfedor]

I see your point, but there is no way I'm hooking up my air compressor to thread some slip bobbers. If I can't do it on the water, it's not happening.

[@HuckThis1971]

I have been fishing the Ottawa River here in Ontario. Narrow with current and gets to 80 to 100 feet quick. I haven't been lucky at all. I am still prospecting since i have started using my garmin uhd 95 unit.

[@zebra3738]

Looks like you were fishing in 25 to 30 fow and the surface temp was just under 70F. Would you say that a thermocline hasn't formed yet, or maybe won't form on that lake? This is something I sort of struggle with is knowing the depth the fish can be in due to oxygem levels. Thanks for the videos and all the tips!

Hey Tom….how can I get an Elliott rod into Canada ?..

[@Dmnazdaq]

Great video, as always. I’m trying to figure out your slip bobber setup. Large 1/2oz. Wobble Bobber with bead on top and 3/8oz weight tied below, ahead of split ring? This gets the short shank jig and leech down to bottom & fish. Do you then reel up off the bottom and dangle in front of the walleyes?

[@peterpilgrim1626]

How far off bottom do you keep the bait?

[@ronniemitchell9221]

Looking fast and furious

[@joshhenline5476]

Tom, what's your thought on keeping trophies? I'm talking 30 inch + .. my PB is 27.. waiting on the 10 pounder to put one on the wall .. also might help some guys to shed a little light on release mounts.....

[@JohnDoe-xq8sk]

It's solely up to you bud. Where he fishes a 30" is actually fairly common but were in a blessed land. A big one is 32"-35+ but a 28" can easily be over 10lbs even with no eggs. Replica mounts are a good option to keep the big egg trains producing.

[@davidweigel2238]

Tom,thanks for your videos; I’m still learning how to catch walleye, and this old fisherman has sure been humbled. I live on a lake where here in Missouri where the lake has been stocked for several years because they can’t spawn at our lake. Many are getting pretty good size, a lot of shad in the lake. Will/should most of your techniques work here as well? Thanks, you have a new subscriber.

Leaches

[@eleganttilemarbleco.1734]

So u run the slip weight above the swivel, then tying your leader directly on to the other side of the swivel? What we’re u using on the jig? Leaches or minnows? Great video. Fish On Hooked Up !!

[@bradwood6754]

@@2344l thank you I never caught that

[@gordjohnson70]

Use a big musky bobber. All bobbers are equal once weighted properly. Musky bobber with heavy weights work anytime for any size fish. Casts farther. Stays where you put and is JUST as sensative as any pan fish bobber when neutral bouyant. Think about it. It's not rocket surgery.

[@dh_hamdi4866]

Tom how do you adjust the bobber stopper depending on depth as you moving?

[@bangpow3907]

Most people use their rod length to measure

[@Woodswalker27]

If you can see the fish why use a slip bobber vs a jig?

Good god, given the Alcatraz-like restrictions on walleyes in that lake until September, I would be afraid to even graph a walleye!
