Speed Jigging Summer Walleyes

[@randalllindemann3545]

Just stumbled onto this channel. This guy wins my vote for the most useful information per minute of video.

[@mikeo5283]

You know you are putting out good videos when Ron Lindner shares it on FB. Congrats Tom!

[@TargetWalleye]

LOVE this.

[@michaelschroeffel1459]

Mr.Boley, I have been doing nothing but speed jigging the last 2 weeks. I have been having serious issues with braid wrapping around rod tip. I will be spooling up with mono directly in hopes your tip pays off. I have caught several walleye using your technique but have found for myself that to keep my boat at .4mph and work at a soft 45degree angle snap jigging is less of a hassle for myself do to line wrapping around tip when using cast and retrieve techniques. Never the less your my hero and my wife wishes that I never stumbled on your channel. It takes time and money to be like TOM... your the man brother

[@TomBoley]

Haha thanks for the comment. Go to mono....problem will be solved.

[@Filling_tags]

Know what ur saying. 100%

[@tobinlakeguideservices]

Great advice here for the people that are interested in the reaction bates. I use mono as well. The stretch in the line will definitely help with keeping the fish pinned.

[@19jake23]

Is a bunch of fish a pod? I always thought it was a school of fish. A group of Orcas is called a pod. I'm 71 years old and never too old to learn something. Dang good video.

[@marcplaisted460]

Best most informative walleye information videos I have EVER watched. Thank you!

[@0ly001]

Love this summertime technique. Went out prefishing for a buddy and caught over 100 eyes in two days. Spot and drop

[@chaz7608]

Bet you wouldn't in a hard to fish lake. Get out my cane pole and safety pin hook, goin' fishin' where these dudes be going...hahaha, just kidding. NOT.

[@0ly001]

@@chaz7608 maybe if you spend more time jigging and less time TROLLING, you'd find out how good it works.

[@davidd357]

Tom Boley - video suggestion. (could be a Tom talk). you probably have 20 videos each on speed jigging, slip bobbing ... How about a video that just shows finding fish on sonar/DI and Side imaging. that's it just driving around finding fish and showing what they look like on the Helix. maybe here is a mud flat that has some gravel, here are the fish .... it Would be very helpful. thanks - ps, my t-shirt came the other day

[@timothythompson1784]

Maybe you should go do it you're self and learn how to do it

[@slabaddict]

Catching walleye is like a video game for you....great job 👏 Tom!!

You got it, thanks for sharing,great way to put a few in the boat.

This style of fishing is so effective. So glad you introduced me to it in these videos ! I find the Acme Hyper Rattle is great !

First comment ever... Awesome as usual! Best info available for all of us learning to maximize use of our graphs. And, fishing rods. And terminal tackle. And boats. Tom, Love you man! Seriously! I take care of people with the Rona. I think you’ve got it. Go get a COVID test. You might be helped by treatment if you get worse. Not playin! Take care of yourself! We need ya!

yea, try it on Lake Chapin in SW michigan and go home crying. Anything is easy where there is fish. True story.

Going to the store in the morning!!!

I look forward to your new vids everyday!

[@josephtruskowski688]

Can you do this on dirtier water like the Mississippi?

[@carlross555]

This is Carl from Northeast Ohio I am kind of need to your channel so far I love everything I've seen and I just wanted to let you know I absolutely love your boat

[@TomBoley]

Thanks Carl

[@jakeowens1770]

Hasn't worked for me yet on the purple hyper rattle. I'll try that white color.

[@scottkuehn7050]

Ever fish Diamond Lake in Bayfield County? Very deep and clear lake (85 feet) super touch, test the best walleye fisherman.

[@kevinkilgour1]

thanks for the mono tip, i'll try it out next trip.

[@k9ccso1]

Nice vid...we call that snap jigging...speed jigging for me is in deeper water where I drop a jig to the bottom and speed jig it all the way back up

[@blakeanderson7083]

How does this work in very stained water say less than 2ft of clarity?

[@JasonSmith-bv3yd]

That's incredible!

[@joeljohansen2469]

Love this style jigging...spot and drop 😀👍

[@danielpritchard1465]

What makes you choose to do this vs a slip bobber rig or any other setup when you know exactly where the fish are setup and you’re dropping bait in front of their faces? Preference? Or fish behavior? Does it matter?

[@Filling_tags]

It’s all about timing, “ this bite is really heating up” as he says

[@deckmonkey1459]

It seems to be depth related. This was the fish out in deeper water of 20 feet+ and the slip bobber fish were in about 15 feet or less.

[@TomBoley]

Pretty much take your best guess. As long as I know you are on fish try things until it clicks

[@Hill_Billy_Without_A_Hill]

@@TomBoley I didn't catch it, if you run a leader, or just mono your line to the lure and what test line? Your very informative, I dont mind watching details, even if repeated. Thanks for taking the time, to make these vids. I aim to get better at walleye, in the little amounts of time I have to actually fish here in Indiana. I'm slowly upgrading my gear. No expensive boats yet, just jons for me. One is a project boat, I hope to get out next season. Ive caught musky, back when lived in IL at Shelbyville Lake, which also has walleye. We used a lot of fire tiger color there. Caught them on spinner baits, and a few on live bait(bluegill) fishing for cats.

[@conner6577]

Down here in Green Bay it five walleye and then winnebago is three walleye

[@willmayberry3070]

Do hyper rattles and jigging raps seem to work equally well or are there situations in which you would use one vs the other?

[@johnwheeler5916]

Wondering the same thing

[@justingrey1409]

Have you used the rapalla V blade? If so, any thoughts on it? I have found it to for sure be a great multi-species bait for sure this summer

[@Mooja12]

Tom, I have a fishing question for you. How do you keep your hat from flying off when zooming across the lake? @0:06

[@zachaustin9126]

Hat down, head down. If the bill is more down the wind pushes it down more. If the bill is up the wind will catch and blow it up off your head. Simple as that.

[@Hill_Billy_Without_A_Hill]

glue

[@patrickempey3584]

If you notice he’s never not wearing that old hat. Probably weaved into his hair 😂

[@carlross555]

This is Carl from northEast Ohio

[@codygilbert313]

Will you do a video on fishing lakes with low walleye numbers, say 50 total on the survey?

[@connorklevesahl7846]

Yea he should do that

[@chaz7608]

Right on BROTHER! Everybody is cool when there are 8-12 Walleye per acre. Notice they never tell you where they are fishing. Just another "Look at me" video. Sad...

[@codygilbert313]

No way bro, boley is legit. Amazing angler on good bodies of water.

[@TomBoley]

That lake is surveyed at 1.2 adult walleye per acre. It's a 6000 acre lake.

[@TomBoley]

Most lakes on my area are between 1 and 3 adults per acre.

[@andrewlawson6224]

Hey Tom, loved your video! Watched it several times. Could not find 1 ounce hyper rattles anywhere. Ended up picking up a couple of big hyper glides

[@andrewlawson6224]

At Cabela’s. Fished round Lake and the big chip this past weekend, but could not get anything to bite. Do you think hyper glides Are so different that they would not work the same as hyper rattles?

[@ShockSgt]

After watching video, went on line to purchase these Acme Hyper Rattle lures. Unfortunately, does not seem to be any available at this time of the year. Link to Acme site claims a restocking date in September.

[@mikeglad4958]

I searched a long time yesterday but finally found some and ordered 10. 😀😀

[@chadmullenix5682]

Tom, I finally got a chance to do this at lake Meredith in the Texas panhandle. 101° with light wind and caught 7 when nothing else would work. Keep the great videos comin!!! I would like some suggestions on finding those large “pods” of walleye, however. I am only finding maybe 2-3 fish in area at a time. Any hints?!?

[@dagolf06]

That is how walleye school up on spots. It's the same on my lake. There may be 20 of them in a general area but generally they are in pods of 2-5 fish spread out over an area. Only times they really school up bigger than that is when the water is cool or during spawn.

[@sebastienmalo6554]

Hi Tom can i use This technique in very stain water how they see them?

[@patrickempey3584]

How often do you snap your line or your uni knot and lose one of these baits? I imagine it has to happen if you’re doing this in rock areas after awhile.

[@krishall3187]

Great vid

[@justingrey1409]

Same fishing techniques on this style of fishing with jigging raps?

[@avail657]

Pretty much, yeah. I like acme more than the jigging raps, but ya gotta change it up and see what works.

[@wiscofun3028]

No flip-in's and shoes on......... that hook you stepped on must have stung pretty bad!

[@DirtyJobsGuy1]

Do you ever tip the treble hook with a minnow head?

[@jakmenge4705]

I suggested to use rap jig for 2 years. I dont catch fish. I use fireside braid 10 lbs line. My pole is med fast action 6' 6". What am I missing?

[@jimjamfishandcook]

You have to be RIGHT ON THE SPOT.

[@rarm6053sw]

Tom, I see that VMC has come out with a bladed treble hook to add to this type of presentation. Have you you tried this at all? What are your thoughts on it?

[@outdoorsportsman]

Good question!

[@fioreboschi1471]

Is it safe to assume your in a snag free area when using this technique? (No Weeds or Rocks) By “slack line” I assume you mean on bottom? I’ve learnt so much from your channel, I’m catching 10 times what I have in previous years. Pitching jigs, pulling spinners on line counters, power slip bobbing, and recently lindy rigging (set a PR last week). But this jig’n’rap has really got the best of me. I’m thinking maybe I’m using this when fish are located in too much cover. I’m down too many lures to admit. However, I can honestly say when I am successful, majority of it can be attributed to your channel. Thanks Tom!

[@TomBoley]

I fish this mainly in rocks. Obviously like anything else it does snag up ...most the time you can get it out

[@fioreboschi1471]

Thanks for the reply Tom. Time to start practicing!

[@douglasengland100]

snap fishing ...does it work on rivers with fairly strong currents?

[@PaulDanciu]

From where i can buy that lures?Can add link?

[@outdoorsman9384]

So Tom when your doing all these snaps on a slack line how do you know hits and also were abouts of jigg, so this must mean you let jigg hit bottom then let line go slack then snapp it, it doesn't seem easy for control, its almost like I need a subscription of this some kind of drawing or something

[@petenityg680]

You don’t use a leader on your rig?

[@pkg2922]

Are you able to feel a hit when the line is slack?

[@SEMIfishing]

Ever fish Lake Gogebic?

[@austinkramer3264]

what is turn over season?

[@sarahfitchkoz]

Do you get hung up often when you are doing this over bigger rock?

[@tom5848]

Always bugged me that my H-Bird doesn't have a split view with 2D on the right and Map on left. At lease I don't think it does - didn't see this option under 'hidden.' Feel like there is a slight delay in the return with 2D on left as the immediate return is covered by the right side (map).

[@ethanl5167]

Well it’s better then Lawrence.

Tom, I want to order a Beckman net like yours on-line. What’s the bag dimensions and handle length. I understand if you don’t have time to reply. Keep the videos coming.

[@josephtruskowski688]

I would get a slider S2. Get the large/extra large ring, 9ft extension and rubber coating on net

[@brilintube]

Joseph Truskowski thanks, I have looked at the Slider S2 nets, but I want to keep it simple. It seems like to me that the S2 has to many moving parts that could break. Thanks again.

[@654outdoor]

Do you have a transducer for each fish finder? Or just one? Thanks and love the videos. Maybe you can show how your boat has them mounted.

[@zachaustin9126]

Humminbirds are linkable. That said, unless your running a separate unit say up front, they can all run off one transducer. Most guys running units side by side are typically using one for mapping only anyhow and wouldn’t even need a second transducer regardless.

Thanks!
