I enjoy the videos like this that are more applicable to the average guy's home lake and not always using the most expensive electronics techniques. I wouldn't mind seeing another Chippewa Flowage episode since many like fishing the flowages for eater size fish and aren't necessarily targeting only big fish.
Looks a lot like my lake, so easily could have been any 750-1000 acre lake in the Northwoods. Would love a refresher on reading the SI for weed edge, rock, sand, and fish (dark shadow or white) and determining fish vs. rock. No plan to invest in Mega live or forward facing so love these videos! Would be awesome to have a Walleye Now section only on less than 1000 acres and using SI and sonar! Great work as always!
As a fellow walleye angler I’m addicted to your videos, but with this latest episode I want to know how in the bleep do you keep the bluegills from cleaning your hook off every 5 seconds??!!
I really enjoyed this style of video! It’s fun to see you out hammering the eyes on small water without forward facing sonar. I think it’s more relatable for a lot of northern Minnesotan and northern Sconi anglers! Keep em coming! Good luck on the water and tight lines!
I was just thinking the other day that I would like to see you do this simpler style of fishing on smaller lakes like we have in northern Wisconsin. Keep up the awesome content.
I live on a small lake so thank you. I had two big walleye on sidescan and sonar and tried everything to move them. This gives me something else to try.
Great "Old School" show, enjoyed it. Please do a few more of these but get a bit more personal with the electronics. I would like to see what you are seeing on the side imaging when you stop and fish the small schools of fish. 😀
I literally anchored on a deep water rock pile last week. Pontoon pulls up 15 yards away and everyone jumps out swimming. I tell ya man, there’s road rage then there’s lake rage…..the lake is 8800 acres.
I always herd the fish with a random round hole like that or a nice strait line vertically were from cranes and herons trying to eat them. Love the videos keep up the good work man!
Tom got himself some Costas! Watch out. Love their lenses for the clarity as well as durability. Plastic lenses scratch too easily for their price point.
I'd like to see ur full slip bobber set up! I'd also like to see you fish walleye and catch walleye without all your fancy electronics! Maybe a time side image-sonar! I don't feel you would be capable of doing so on a lake u Haven't fished!
I find it interesting that you use a bullet weight to troll spinners as opposed to a bottom bouncer, could someone comment on the benefit to this approach?
I really like these type of videos because I don't have FFS, nor will I be buying one . I can't see spending that much money to catch fish. I don't mind if I don't catch anything.
In Tom's world what number of acres generally define a "small" lake? I live in Madison our chain are 2,000 to 10,000. Would those be considered "medium" with less than 2,000 "small" and 10,000+ "large"?
Hey Tom, another great video. I fish Lake Erie but I also live on a little 500 acre lake with a decent resident walleye population so I appreciated this one. Did you finally get a high end sunglass manufacturer sponsorship?? haha
I’m fishing Winnebago in SE Wisconsin, jig fishing the reefs and catching decent numbers of Walleye’s. So the fish are there, I’m catching them, but can’t see them on SI no matter how hard I try. ☹️ Are my settings not correct? Too much rock in shallow water? I study images of what others claim are fish on SI, but don’t see the same things. So frustrating. Any suggestions?
@@TomBoley Thanks Tom for taking the time to respond, truly appreciate it. I consider you one of the best out there. Love watching you at work on the water, I’ve learned a lot from you!!
Thank you, that's what I thought....didn't know if you were gonna drop another super secret slip bobber trick on us like troll @ .5mph or something. But, thank you for the videos. I've been learning alot + look forward to new videos. Actually just snapped my rod in half today. Great rod....savage browser 7' ML fast lasted 5+ years. Can't find um anymore. Looking @ 2B now . Can't wait to get the precision rod + one to drag jigs...any recommendations on 2B rod for dragging 1/4- 3/8 jigs? Thx again tho!

We will film plenty more on small water this year as I slowly lose steam from traveling
Always enjoy the old school style videos!! Can’t beat the spinners and slip bobber method for this time!!
Thanks guys!!! I like the no FF sonar videos. You guys are awesome. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the video that applies to a large number of us.
What a great way to start the day! Early mornings on a little lake.
Love the low tech approach, mostly because that’s all I got lol.

Tom made it big time he’s wearing costas!!! Congrats Tom on all your success been watching you since day one bro
Love this video! Applicable for those us with the mid level of tech that live in northern WI. Very fun. Thank you!
The old school side imaging is the best, love this content. Not everyone has forward facing
I was just thinking the other day that I would like to see you do this simpler style of fishing on smaller lakes like we have in northern Wisconsin.

Thanks for watching!
Awesome. Sometimes simple is the most fun.
Absolutely!

Loved this vid! Hey, go back out on this lake with Shelby and show you guys catching some nice summer crappies.
Great old school vid Tom!! Loved yours and Mitchell's enthusiasm!! Tight Lines Guys💪🎣

I concur!!
Great video Tom and Mitch!!
Love all the content regardless of the technology being used.
Keep up the great content!
Appreciate ya watching.
VERY NICE! HIGH FIVE!
Reminds me of the old days drifting erie dearys on lake erie
Have you got any plans on fishing winibigoshish this year?
Early morning fishing…not a pontoon in sight👍
I literally anchored on a deep water rock pile last week. Pontoon pulls up 15 yards away and everyone jumps out swimming. I tell ya man, there’s road rage then there’s lake rage…..the lake is 8800 acres.
@@shanealan2995 wow, yeah not sure why they do it, but sure happens a lot to me. One of the many reasons I love fall fishing.
Nice Costas!
I always herd the fish with a random round hole like that or a nice strait line vertically were from cranes and herons trying to eat them. Love the videos keep up the good work man!
Wish I was fishing in the Northwoods rather than sweating in out here in Kansas. Can't wait for fall fishing in the UP.
Another great video. Thanks for breaking it down.
Appreciate ya watching
Tom got himself some Costas! Watch out. Love their lenses for the clarity as well as durability. Plastic lenses scratch too easily for their price point.
After 55 pairs of gas station glasses I finally bought my first pair of real glasses
Fun video
Nice

Head out towards Marshall and let's fish Big Stone. Huge sunfish, walleyes and perch.
I find it interesting that you use a bullet weight to troll spinners as opposed to a bottom bouncer, could someone comment on the benefit to this approach?
Hey buddy in your trolling setup you mention your weights…how did your rig that?
I'll see yeah soon at the Warrior meeting.
whats your best
way to keep your slip bobber line vertical when drifting?
I don't drift them. I'm generally spot locked
Have you tried the 3000 reel? Getting ready to order one to try and I normally go with 2500 but see you use the 2000. Is there a big difference?
I really like these type of videos because I don't have FFS, nor will I be buying one . I can't see spending that much money to catch fish. I don't mind if I don't catch anything.
I still don't catch fish at times with ffs haha fishing is fishing

No haha... I saved my pennies for a decade and bought a high end pair finally haha
@@TomBoley Nice!
So Tom, would you still find big fish hanging out in the basin of this smaller lake?
Yea.. super low numbers in some of these really small lakes .
@@TomBoley right on
One day we’ll all be saying “Tom., do a video with old school FFS!”
I’m fishing Winnebago in SE Wisconsin, jig fishing the reefs and catching decent numbers of Walleye’s.
So the fish are there, I’m catching them, but can’t see them on SI no matter how hard I try. ☹️
Are my settings not correct? Too much rock in shallow water?
I study images of what others claim are fish on SI, but don’t see the same things.

Could be too much rock in spots
@@TomBoley
Thanks Tom for taking the time to respond, truly appreciate it.
I consider you one of the best out there.
Love watching you at work on the water, I’ve learned a lot from you!!
Approximately how many acres was the lake?
Looks to be around a 1000 acres I would guess.
Thanks
Ok, how are you not catching sunfish or perch?
More low tech less forward sonar, most folks don’t have that technology
Trollin slip bobbers?
If I try that on my 650 acre lake bluegill’s get my crawler
How fast of "troll" with slip bobbers if any?
Basically no troll. Just stationary
Thank you, that's what I thought....didn't know if you were gonna drop another super secret slip bobber trick on us like troll @ .5mph or something. But, thank you for the videos.

Wish I could run 3 lines. Minnesota is stupid
Eres our bass on the spinner rig,
NOT impressive 😂
