DEADLY Way to Catch Fall Walleyes on RIVERS!

[@JoshHinrichs-x3h]

Super good reminder that technology is not everything! I just went out on the St Louis River, rough fishing day, but I definitely learned that tech does not catch the fish, people do!

[@walleyeguy9817]

Great river video tom! You make look easy even on a challenging day. Always educational, keep em comin....hooked up!

[@ChrisLaprise-p8n]

You're welcome Tom, and thank you for the education you provide for all of us. Been here for years and i have learned a lot on the journey.

[@davidwhiteeagle2829]

Like you stuff always informative and fun keep smilin

[@thomasindler1576]

Great job tom, as always. Great tips knowledge and sports. Men ship. Love those walleyes, from black river fall's.

[@dougsack6426]

I enjoy watching and learning from the videos that you make. I’m just learning river fishing, especially the Mississippi. I appreciate your advice and tips. Thank you and tight lines!

[@TomBoley]

Thanks for watching and good luck fishing!

[@ronaldkulas5748]

I am a 70 yr-old river-rat; though I do not fish like I used to. I agree that current is super important. Actively feeding walleyes, IMO, always enter into or very near faster current. I have found that "holes" are not that productive unless you fish the upper part of the hole near faster water. Current is key. IMO, current gives walleyes a huge advantage to catch prey, and that is why they feed there. I forgot to add that faster current obviously means relatively shallow water; I have caught most river walleyes in 2 to 4 feet of water.

[@TomBoley]

Agree 💯!

[@brianperiso674]

Hey Tom, I would absolutely enjoy a deer video from your production. I reside in the thumb of Michigan and last winter lived vicariously through your fishing videos, as we had no ice to speak of. Hoping for hard water this time around though. Your productions are top notch to me.

[@joecarpenter6055]

I watched many of your videos. Since you fish solo so often, I love to see "your system" of deploying and landing your boat. Rivers[current]&lakes.

[@wiscowalleye7954]

Fished that “other” river system 3 days in a row this last week pulling that smallest Shad dancer on lead core. Around a small area with bait balls everywhere. Last 3 hours of daylight were by far some of the best walleye fishing I’ve ever had. Every pass over a small 100yard area was a nice fish!! Ended up only using one rod it was so insane. Love the aggressive river fish! Plus the bonus catfish that gets your heart racing thinking it’s a 30” walleye only to mangle your $8 crank baits. 🤣

[@tomdombrovski432]

I lived on millelacs lake for 14 years, last November I moved closer to my grandkids, and now I live on the Mississippi near Clearwater mn, I’m hoping to learn more about where the walleye hang out on the river. Great video!!

[@jonaholson1583]

I would love to watch a video of you fishing the Rainy River! I have been searching your fall walleye content to learn as much as I can, this panfisherman is going on a walleye trip to the Rainy River in October and I can't wait!

[@glenndaugherity6187]

Great video Tom !! We were just up in that area 2 weeks ago and the wife got a 28 1/2” walleye 8#. It’s definitely Gods country up there 👍👍

[@DrDime_]

Finally some river content. Now i gotta get my waders back on and head back out and try working my bait like you do. Ive been giving tiny little pops since i seem to only catch em like that, but i gotta get back out there and work that damn bait lol.

[@douglasmills1122]

great river video. I live on the Mississippi River in Illinois and love the walleye context for the river.

[@daveo1855]

Thanks Tom! Love the content. Used to live in Iowa and would always take my summer vacation on the Mississippi around Prairie du Chien or La Crosse. Great River!!

[@juliusjonesiii6639]

That was another awesome video, I’m definitely excited for the fall season

[@rickleyh2192]

Heck yes on hunting brother! Let’s see it. I’m in Texas, so always enjoy seeing how big Midwestern deer are.

[@adambriggs7032]

Thank you Tom for your huge variety of videos. I’ve learned a lot from you over the years. 👍👍

[@TomBoley]

Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

[@ffjeff]

Thanks for all the tips. Love your videos!

[@wisconsinfamilyoutdoors8074]

The current is the structure in most rivers….yes you have rocks and timber in the river it’s the current that dictates where the fish are!! Great vid!! Good luck and tight lines to all

[@TomBoley]

Absolutely,.. current is everything

[@joshuadavis8230]

Dude!! I asked for a flowage video and you serve up pure gold!!! It was amazing to hear you verbalize almost everything I think through when I'm on the water. I would absolutely enjoy a day fishing with you. I think it's funny that the Columbia river in Oregon/Washington never make the list. We have just as good of fishing as what you just did with the opportunity for a trophy class!...( 31inches 12lbs is my pb)

[@neilrippey1344]

Great content, Tom. Low river flow definitely affects where the walleyes are. Here in central Wisco the last two months have definitely slowed down the walleye bite.

[@nickwenthe1564]

Here in quad cities, we got some power house outshoots that have a lot of current that have been 🔥 all summer with the low waters!!!

[@lunkerer]

Hey Tom, how about a trip to the Detroit or St Clair River systems? I’d love to see how you’d approach fishing them.

[@markhabeck6614]

Thank you always very informative and the river fishing is cool.

[@TomBoley]

Thanks for watching!

[@karricklw]

Custom Kalin's One Eyed V-Rod...6:27...no doubt that special edition is already sold out!

[@Alcopolic]

Love river fishing content

[@Andy-jp3yo]

Nice video Tom ! New video style is much better . Make sure you come down and fish it open water in the winter . I love fishing the river in January where everyone else is ice fishing

[@davecarlson4896]

Can’t wait for more

[@StacyHellman]

I am from Minnesota. Now live in SoDak. I miss those river fishing days. Oahe is my go to destination, unfortunately. Always enjoy your stuff.

[@TomBoley]

I know.... I love that system.

[@ipoopinwalmart5968]

Currently looking at houses in SD. What’s wrong with Oahe?

[@matts6768]

Great video.. learned some river fishing thanks. Good day fishing..

[@TomBoley]

Thanks for watching. Good luck fishing!

[@philgawthrop2518]

Love your content.

[@stevemcneeley7372]

Great job and awesome video

[@Theminnowscoop]

Mille Lacs shallow fall jig bite is on. Out on Friday catchin em in 8-12 ft

[@CompetitiveFishingFreak]

I would love to see you fish the Detroit River for fall Walleyes 🎯🎣💪

[@gregbroyles2908]

Sighting in my Mathews this week, getting canopy off lift, getting boat on trailer to explore more lakes! Thanks for your info Tom! Even a blind squirrel can be successful sometimes 😄

[@TomBoley]

Good luck!

[@jayzim1293]

Tom, would love to have you visit the Pittsburgh area and fish the Three Rivers with me. I am learning to fish the Allegheny River. Come on Tom!!!

[@TomBoley]

Maybe someday!

[@davidtrusty6975]

In Wisconsin now raining. I will definitely keep in mind what you said about water flow. I'm going to be using swim baits. You are more aggressive than I normally am. Learned something from your video. Thanks

[@TomBoley]

Thanks for watching!

[@slopecrazy]

Love ur content. Learn smtg from every video

[@TomBoley]

Thanks for watching!

[@keithvoels8395]

Hey Tom, great video! I love fishing pool 2. Awesome Apex!! Ever consider doing some capture over hdmi with it? You're videos are great and some more screen time would make them even better!!

[@TomBoley]

Yes... trying to get it dialed in. Thanks for watching👍

[@mikenorthlandtrenching6063]

Tom, do you have trouble with the rear hook snagging on the top or clip with the V-Rods? I seem to have a lot of trouble with this when jigging these.

[@EricSmith-tp5gc]

Another Great Video Tom! Yeah, please take us with to do some whitetail hunting. Just shoot the first one you see and get back to fishing and it’ll be fine. Maybe the “chicken farmer” can put you in a good stand.

[@tedthilly1934]

What is that mounted on your boat by your electronics

[@tedthilly1934]

Never mind I just found out farther into the video 😊

[@tonys1641]

You and the Shelbster out hunting! That would be cool! You guys could be like Chris Bee and Kaitlyn Moss. Don't know if you know them. Cool hunting couple.

[@Eagle621]

Always the best Tom👍

[@TomBoley]

Thanks for watching!!

[@d-profishing]

I like river fishing need more .from Montreal

[@JustJigit]

When fishing river walleyes try pumping flies very effective and cover a lot of water.

[@TomBoley]

I have before... I know it works I just enjoy snap jigging alot

[@KM-uc8bp]

Have you had any issues with the Pendu jigs eyes breaking off one side or the other? I had one come apart as I landed an 18" walleye this weekend.

[@garymorgenroth1734]

tom you should if possible try the Ottertail County lakes in MN ottertail, rush lake , big a nd little pine and many more. it's walleye country

[@TomBoley]

I have filmed on 2 of those lakes in the past

[@ironmule5200]

More great comment Tom! Keep it coming! What mount do you use for the forward facing sonar? Just kidding...l just wanted to be "that guy" that asked this time. haha

[@TomBoley]

Thanks. Before I got to the end of your comment I always started typing it out.....

[@ironmule5200]

@@TomBoley Seriously though another great video. Not sure about all your subs but I always appreciate the before and after fishing dialogue.

[@melissathomas145]

Tom, I was wondering what pool this was? I normally go to pool 9. It’s been tough the last few times. Thanks for explaining wing dams in an easy to understand manner. I have never really been able to figure out how to fish them well. Going to try again in October. Btw, girls fish too. 😊. Keep up the fantastic educational content.

[@mattress2331]

Great break down

[@TomBoley]

Thanks Matt!

[@robertwilliamson6958]

I’m a fisherman and bowhunter myself. However, a man that makes a living in front of a camera, needs a break from the camera sometimes. Wouldn’t mind seeing some hunting videos, but that’s a lot more of a personal decision. Love my river fishing. Barely fish lakes anymore for any fish species. Love the videos!

[@BobslakeWalleyeguy]

Film the hunt I’m here for it!

[@philschmitt796]

Hey Warrior brother! Do you find the Apex provide more clarity/definition on the Mega Live vs the Helix?

[@jeffnordin3106]

Use a separate battery only for your Transducer. Will reduce the clutter

[@mikemikovsky3112]

what size walleye at the Mississippi can you start keeping them so you can eat some ?

[@TomBoley]

Idk... I enjoy catching and release.

[@carlschinkel]

Wastewater treatment plants don't remove pharmaceuticals from the water. These chemicals are now being found in river fish. I wouldn't suggest consumption.

[@mikemikovsky3112]

that's cool but if it was me I would keep some for dinner that night

[@7727Ropy]

I have to say I liked your videos before the forward facing sonar, Before it was more of the fish habitat and now its more of a video game. I know ya work hard making the videos and you were by far my favorite walleye fisherman.

[@Dbars19]

yea, ive never seen a wing dam on the ohio river. At least the area im from.

[@johnhalgenberg2648]

A stick of dynamite goes a long way above those wing dams. Don't throw upstream especially on windy days. Instead throw down stream from the back of the boat so the current can drift the stick away from your boat and out of harms way. After the water blows quickly head downstream and collect and go. Works like a charm.

[@TomBoley]

Not sure if that's suitable for KZbin videos though....

[@sylvainlaurence1554]

Hope Shelby gonna be more lucky hunting white tail this year 🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@TomBoley]

She always has the luck!

I'll be the first to watch

New River walleyes are genetically different than regular walleyes...come to Virginia and get some!

[@fidiusjwhoopie]

I MISS SURLY AND STELLA!!! and using a snap lock on a jig??hmmmm....

[@lornefont4105]

Hi Tom I have been watching you for last 3 or more years.I am a walleye now app subscriber and have been learning lots from you. I have been wanting to invite you to come down to the St Clair and fish with me. End of October into November and December is really good usually . Its a deep fast water river , depth range as deep as 70' I fish at the mouth of the river in Lake Huron at times we can catch 50+ fish a day on good days. It would be nice to learn from you in this high current situation we have here. 1.5-2.1 mph current dependant on wind direction in Lake Huron. Check it out and see what you think. I think it would be a great challenge for you to learn lots and for me as well. Thanks for all you do Tom your the best Lorne Font

[@mikemikovsky3112]

try catch and eat when walleye fishing they are delicious

[@TomBoley]

I enjoy catching and releasing

[@douglasvoorhees5941]

Tom, love the videos keep them coming. I do have a question. When are you going to embrace the dark side and come visit Michigan? I can imagine it has something to do with that big lake in the way. We're jonesing for you to come over. On behalf of Michigan we'll treat you like a king buddy. Be safe out there.

[@phillipimsdahl3563]

I had just watched a tribute to the Griz and maybe you have seen him down there he is the very definition of river rat so it was nice to see you tip your hat. Makes me think maybe you need a nick name. If you grow your beard and hair longer we could call you the Griz Jr.??

[@mikemikovsky3112]

hopefully you have where you put in at in your gps so you dont get lost

[@TomBoley]

It's either upstream or downstream
