EFFECTIVELY Find Fall Walleyes Using Side Imaging and MEGA 360

Today we are back with another fall walleye fishing video and after a busy week in northern Minnesota I figured we should make a video showcasing the process I use to find fish and then target them on many of the large shallow flats in which walleyes use this time of year. This video features a details walk through of side imaging on the Humminbird and how I break down what I see. Fall walleyes bites are in full swing and the shallow water jig bite is happening everywhere. Thanks for watching!

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzbin.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

Im 8 minutes in. So far this is the best video Tom's put out so far. Funny and detailed plus instead of just screen shots he shows side imaging video as it happens. Thank you Christopher!

[@GodWillzIt]

Totally agree with you. One of the best videos Tom has done in awhile.

[@ittoutdoors]

Yeah Christopher I was a little bummed at you for being so hard on Tom! BUT great content Tom! Thanks for satisfying Christopher with class!

[@tobymiller4874]

I love it so funny ,. Let's go Cris a bush

[@fj55tyrant]

Thank you Christopher for riling up Tom so he did this video !!

[@lifeoutside9919]

DANG Christopher! Christopher got his very own Tom Boley tutorial. I appreciate you Tom, and the information you provide, I hope Christopher does too. If I had a $1 for every time Christopher was addressed, I’d have enough cash to fuel my boat up. I’m literally heading out right now, so thank you Christopher for inspiring Tom to put this out this morning. PS- Christopher, I totally thought the same thing about those videos. Only I still enjoyed them.

[@paulcjarnold8903]

Christopher we owe you. Tom put on a searching clinic. In depth & tactical presentation. Thanks Tom

[@matthewmoericke6132]

Tom and Christopher are the Lennon and McCartney of KZbin Walleye fishing videos. This is the best side-imaging video on the internet.

[@leeNWHuntinganFish4713]

Tom after being a walleye guide 42 years on the Columbia River if I have learned anything it's people watch to learn and they don't all see my shows or read the hundreds of articles I've done. Reading the comments alot of these guys are very knowledgeable and watch to maybe pick up a small tip that maybe benefit someday. So they really don't need you or your video's but there are many that do and don't have the electronics we have or understand them fact most my guys just use sonar. So don't bite the hand that feeds you and think about how many people fish like us not many. This video is your best work yet shows it all. Good wrk.

[@manbearpig8691]

I'm tipping my hat to both Christopher and Tom. This video is by far the best tutorial on side imaging that I have ever seen. Interesting to hear what it took to make this exceptional video happen. Tom... You are the man!

[@tompoturica2224]

Christopher and the rest of us got a great education! Thanks Tom!

[@jareddouglas4131]

Thanks Chris for getting us very informative video!

[@MrDJLois]

Well, some videos have angry minnows, some have angry walleyes, and now we have angry Tom. 😀We need to have Christopher add more comments because this was a great and entertaining video.

[@mikeauger4029]

Absolutely your best clip! Very few of us can pick them up like you can so this is great! We know you can catch fish now we have a shot.

[@Himes26]

This video probably felt a little remedial to you, but honestly this was very helpful to be able to watch “the process” unfold in real time. I’ve been holding off on upgrading to side imaging for a long time, but this video just proves how efficient it makes you on the water. You would literally have to drive through weeds to have a shot at marking those with 2D, and no doubt walleye would have scattered.

[@ntoland]

I am glad Christopher made his comments - Great video.

[@ThomasNewton01]

Awesome video. I hope Christopher was satisfied. I know I was able to learn a bunch. Keep up the good work Tom

[@remmers26]

Wow awesome job on explaining on how to be successful with electronics on finding fish, bare the best video I've seen on using the 360 and side imaging to locate and fish those pods.

[@davidspencer2663]

Thank you, thank you,thank you. Undoubtedly the BEST video I’ve seen covering this topic. I can’t wait to put this into practice. Almost feel sorry for the walleye

[@nofotomojo]

Thanks Christopher. Down and dirty video, just what I needed. Oh yeah, thanks Tom.

[@jar895]

Thanks Christopher

[@clintbenson9554]

Wow! Awesome video. I think we all have wanted you to do something like this showing how you break down a spot. I was really hoping you would show your gps and how you use it to go back to a waypoint and where you would spotlock. I don’t have 360 so I generally just try to spotlock 30 feet or so upwind of my waypoints but if I struggle to get bit I am constantly 2nd guessing if I’m in the right spot or did the fish move or are they just not interested in my presentation. Saving up for a 360 but it’s a big expense and I’m sure a lot of people will never have it. Thanks Christopher! And Tom, you legit make the best walleye fishing videos on KZbin. Period!

[@michaelwarpula2943]

I'm totally getting side imaging. These videos are so well done it's like he has a production crew onboard. The front camera, drone shots, and live screen shots make the work professional. Tom is such a great teacher, and you never get the sense that he is holding back information. I love it that catching walleye is not so much of a mystery.

[@jasonbroom7147]

I don't know what Christopher did to piss you off, but he certainly got you back on point...that was more or less the quintessential Tom Boley, "How-To" walleye fishing video. God forbid you just go catch fish sometimes! ;)

[@integratirecarrotriver4026]

Exactly how a Boley video should be. Learned a ton. Thank you

[@johnweitzel6365]

Excellent video. thanks Tom and Christopher.

[@andrewlawson6224]

Hey Tom, I have been watching your videos for years and I love them. Have a cabin in the Hayward lakes area, so I was drawn to you for that reason. I would venture to say most of us do not get the time on the water that we would like to, so we are continually trying to find out how to use our electronics more effectively. I bought my stuff based on what you use. I always love it when you get down and dirty with precisely what you’re looking for and what you’re looking at. Love screen shots and explanations. I do not watch your videos to get pumped for a trip, I watch them to learn things to make me a better fisherman. You have always delivered all of that. Loved the leech lake videos, anxious to go. I will not thank Christopher, but I will say there a lot of puffers out there catching fish on videos that are meaningless to me because they don’t explain precisely what they’re doing or why. Keep it up, Teach!

[@brianbeckstead9618]

Tom love your content! My opinion one of the most informational, productive, best quality creators. Keep doing what you do👍 love it🔥🔥👍👍

[@Shiloh3498]

Thanks for all you do Tom, I faithfully watch your channel even though I strictly fish for bass. There’s always something to learn here and I love it! Who knows, maybe I will target walleye someday…💁🏻‍♂️

[@michaelcogley3150]

Excellent instructional video. I am sure Christopher will be satisfied.

[@naw-danoobie6236]

Awesome video, beautifully broken down.

[@ceaton80]

I enjoy the annoyed Tom content lol!!! Awesome vid, keep em coming!

[@mikekramer8491]

Great video, I love the sarcasm it adds a little humor to the point. You are such a natural teacher. I keep playing with side imaging on my HDS 7. Watching your videos I really want a bigger bird now lol. Keep up the great work.

[@michaelsavage4414]

Well I don't know about Christopher, but I like the video! I am an old dog...very old!...and it is hard for me to learn new tricks. But, I'll keep trying. You have the best videos on fishing that I have ever seen! Keep it up because I think they are great.

[@ryanbronecki2142]

Christopher needs an autographed copy of this publication! Great video once again Tom. Informative and hysterical, love it!

[@mypaddler30]

excellent. probly one video I've gotten the most out of. thanks a ton.

[@joeldeangelo9368]

THANKS TOM AND CHRISTOPHER. GREAT VIDEO. I FISH A VERY CLEAR LAKE IN NORTHERN WISCONSIN AND THEREFORE A LOT OF WEED GROWTH. BY MID SUMMER THERE'S A FOOT OF WEEDS OUT TO 18 FEET AND FURTHER. VERY LITTLE HARD CLEAN BOTTOM SO IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE FISH ON THE BOTTOM. SIDE IMAGING HAS BEEN GREAT FOR SHOWING ME STRUCTURE, ESPECIALLY WEED EDGES. THEN I GO IN WITH DOWN IMAGING AND 2D SONAR TO PICK OUT FISH. I CAN PICK OUT WALLEYE WITH SI IN THE EARLY SEASON BEFORE THE WEEDS GET GOING. I THINK THERE'S LIMITS TO ALL THESE TOOLS DEPENDING ON THE LAKE YOU FISH.

[@markh9675]

Thanks Tom, I really appreciate the review of side imaging. I have a lowrance setup (only because it came with my used boat purchase). But it does have side imaging. Today, while fishing, I did see rocks on it...and a few other bits of structure. It's an older unit - it certainly doesn't show the weeds like yours, but I can see weeds. The fish pods are the hardest to discern, I'm still not confident in what I'm seeing. But, in the end, it's quite helpful to have you re-educate us on what to look for. Your videos always get me excited to try again (even after a day of bad fishing).

[@jamisonpitsch8185]

Lol that was awesome! I appreciate you for putting the content out that you do. Always informative and super helpful! Even if your just fishing I still learn stuff even by just watching your cadence and seeing what your using at that time of year. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@crbrawley]

Late to the party, but this was a great technical video! Thanks Tom!

[@chrisweber4450]

What a great video. Guess I need to thank Christopher to some extent lol

[@ronlourigan3285]

Thank you Christopher

[@garymitchell625]

Great video. Love the format, the irratated determination, the swagger of the " how to " and just plain hard core teaching. Going to go walleye fishin now.

[@aaronfreeman3567]

i love the live screen view so we can see what your moving in and break it down. very good video!!....

[@agnespk4931]

I just absolutely love your response to Christopher’s comment. 👍👌🎣Great job!!!! Awesome video!!!!! I also enjoyed the video where 2 people on the boat were just simply fishing!!!!!😄👌👍🎣

[@andejo4436]

13:15 This video is going so well for me and you right now. Funny!

[@brianharrington5593]

Thank you Tom, for taking the time to address some of the remarks which I'm sure you get overloaded with. I appreciate what remarks Christopher made about the last few videos. One thing which still draws my attention is trying to use this info on Canadian Shield lakes. I mean a lake like Kipawa, where there are hardly any weedlines at all.You have solid rock shoreline, some steep drop offs right from shore, not the traditional long sloping points. Also, you have a devil of a job finding a cluster of weeds. Only choice we have is to try and locate baitfish and follow them. Lake Master and Navionics sure assist a little but only to find shallower water. Also Quebec has a rule, NO MINNOWS at all.Worms, leeches, and trolling cranks or spinners.

[@bradhendrickson7067]

Very informative... Thanks and I hope CHRIS thanked you

[@michaelo6124]

Superb video! Thanks for your expertise!!!

[@daddyproc]

One of the best side imaging views I’ve seen. Well done.

[@thomasmeyers4908]

Very beneficial!!!Thanks Tom...and hope Christopher liked it too!!

[@pathill6428]

I got a kick out of Shelby out fishing him. Keep up the videos!

[@jjmcg9688]

Great video, thank you Christopher.

[@brianvanzile5788]

Love watching you and the lady catch eyes! However, the hand holding and general premise of this video is just too good! U da 🐐 Tommy boy

[@staceswan2238]

Deadly content Tom!!!!!

[@molsondry2834]

Thanks for the side imaging tutorial , super informative!

[@Efish3]

Oh yeah one of your BEST EVER!

[@path1778]

1st time I didn't see you catch a fish! Keep it up Boley.

[@juliebluhm5508]

Great as always Tom! That was me casting 80Ft out trying to hit the pod on side imaging. Thanks for clearing that up. I just switched over to humming bird this year thanks to you, I love it! I would like to see more on zeroing in on wave points. Charts, Graphs. yard sticks, plumb bobs... Thanks in advance.

[@B302993]

Great video Tom! Nice to have had you do some fun fishing videos too lately. This was a great how to video for sure! I’m sure “Christopher” was happy!

[@chuckelliston4199]

I subscribed after watching this video. Always informative and educational… quicker to some.

[@commonsense2574]

Have been fishing Mille Lacs now for over a month almost daily. I got a new helix mega si when I started. I have caught probably 200 walleyes in that time period and honestly cannot say I have seen one on SI. For the most part, I don't hardly use it for that reason. I see them clearly on sonar, somewhat on DI and like I said rarely if at all on SI. I have adjusted sensitivity, and contrast in just about every conceivable way, pretty much at a loss.

[@jeffpippenger8691]

Great video, and informative as usual. I loved the sarcasm even at Christopher's expense. 😂

[@Alcopolic]

Great video Tom. Can you possibly do a really detailed video like this on a river

[@fidiusjwhoopie]

LOL, you really took chris to school, he probably never pays attention in class, and probably has notes on his report card saying so. keep up the good work "Teach" , I vote you teacher of the year

[@chrissnineyearwildlifejour9525]

Christopher not Chris, that's me, lol.

[@donaldjdickinson]

Good job you don't owe me or christopher or anyone else *anything*. What a great video!

[@James-om1cv]

Thank you very good breakdown

[@timjohnston351]

Tom that was an Awsome video,you don't even have to even catch a walleye to make a walleye video.keep up the good work!

[@kjc9293]

Definately learned to never give Tom a negative-ish comment!!!! Great breakdown of the system.....thanks Christopher/Tom!!!!

[@sylvainlaurence1554]

Y think its more thé way Christopher give is mind set go wrong

[@jonstokes3122]

Thank you Tom! Outstanding video!

[@kevinmason5845]

Love this video........ keep up the good work Tom

[@ktjansky5571]

This is my equivalent to Let’s Go Brandon. Christopher T-shirts! Let’s Go Tom. Thanks

[@mikefrisco4536]

Only one word is needed. GOAT

[@benrollinh526]

Fantastic!!!

[@WallEyeGuy1160]

The unsung hero of the day, Christopher! Fuckin’ guy can’t appreciate a video of Tom and his chick whacking marble eyes and putting together some content for us screen warriors… I can honestly say, everyone of Tom’s videos has helped me become a better fisherman. From just watching his cadence to how he nets a fish with nobody else in the boat, it’s all great information, whether he’s detailing or not, the dude knows how to fish, ELECTIVELY!!! He should definitely fish the NWT, now that would be epic to watch and if he videotaped it, his channel would 100% grow!

[@TheChrimsonGhost]

Lmao love the intro. Keep killing it man. Thanks for all the content!

[@bass121892]

Thank you! Very informative!

[@jerryrichard1857]

Brilliant!

[@chrissnineyearwildlifejour9525]

Good job Tom!

[@robertniepagen6340]

Great video Tom! I actually learned a lot from it which I know will help me when I locate fish on SI, just one request …. For us guys that live in states that are not “walleye factories” I’d love to see how you break down lake maps that don’t have “defined”points or breaks from shallow to deep (concerning locations during pre-turnover until they move shallow ) on lakes with average walleye numbers…… northern Indiana walleye fishing can be tough 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@markfranks48]

Thanks Tom very good

[@jrvantuinen9147]

Great video as always Tom. I've watched every video you have posted and this was some great stuff. Now Christopher if you still can't get them to bite... just go at night. Walleyes seem to be easier and less finicky in clear natural lakes in the dark.

[@grasshopperhawk]

Man... I really wish my name was Christopher. This was fucking hilarious!

[@marcgagnon1679]

Sweet video Tom!!

[@livefromplanetearth]

nice sound

[@cmbostc]

I'm usually the Christopher who puts his foot in his mouth, it wasn't me this time. Lol!!! Good job Tom, you rock!!!

[@sethpeake]

Get em Tom!

[@johnmueller7747]

I see when you add a waypoint you have like 1600 waypoints. How do you do your housekeeping on your waypoints and when? Do you add icons for the weeds, fish, rock, etc?

[@justinbluhm6731]

Another great video!!!

[@zachkindt]

warning: high salt content! lol it's a good video Tom, hope Christopher enjoys it too

[@craigpfau1386]

Actually i thought it was a good video on technique as you could actually see them reel in the line as they were popping the jig (lightly). . . .usually the reel is hidden behind their body! Thanks for that video! This one is great too!

[@andrewscott2866]

Bahahaha, thanks for the good laughs Tom. Guess I have to thank Christopher as well🤣

[@tywhite87]

Annoyed snarky Tom is hilarious, but also very informative. Thanks Tom, great video.

[@seppokalevipaarma]

Great video 👊🏻

[@tompoturica2224]

If Christopher watched to earlier Leech videos, he'd know the tactics.

[@AdventuresOutdoors]

VERY GOOD VIDEO!

[@brianjohnson1468]

Tom, do you ever fish the highland reservoirs of Southern Mo. or northern Arkansas.

[@jeffreyhalet9632]

Best video ever!!!

[@roberthikade9759]

Tom, the Hell with Christopher he can go troll someone else. Apparently he doesn't watch a lot of your videos. What a fool! Great video Tom keep up all the great content and all the effort you put into making these. Geez!

[@markmcgough7900]

Note all catch and release 😉
