Heard you can use a Flat Fish Lure, cut the bottom treble off and add a slow death hook 3” back. The advantage is, you can troll 0.8 or even drift and the Flat Fish or Kwickfish by Jensen, still has action. I’ve made a few and will try soon. It’s simple and acts like a Texas Rig…kinda.
Tom, great shows. Was wondering if when you put your fingers inside the gill covers, doesn't it harm the fish? Will be there Aug. 1st. and hope to use some of ways you show. Keep up the good work. Thanks, Roy
Like your videos, how do you know how far down your spinner rigs are running? Is it because you pay attention to how much line is out and you touch bottom at the depth the walleyes are at.
Ok, silly question here only because I've never used planer boards before. If you want to run a crawler at say 18 feet on a 25 foot flat, you hook the line at the board at 18 feet ? And let the planer go back with the bottom bouncer weighting the rig at 18 feet?
hey TOM just curious have you noticed a big difference in the size of walleyes compared to the 80s.I live on the Canadian border with Michigan,I see your in the Ohio area so your fishing Lake erie correct,whereas Im fishing the ST Clair river and lower lake huron.Back in the 80s average walleye here was 4-6 lbs now theyre 2lbs.Have you seen that drastic of a dropoff.I know why Im just wondering if its affected as far away as you.Certain people here in Canada are gill netting top to bottom in the river where they spawn and theyre litterally killing off the entire walleye fisheries
I use 20lb braid and add 4’ of fluorocarbon for some stretch. Caught a 3lb walleye the other day and the hook was barley hanging on, it was time well spent. Is this what you do?
You don't seem too excited about pulling spinners. Is this your least favorite way to fish? Also, what under water fishing camera should I maybe buy you think? Thanks I enjoy your videos. Best on TH-cam.
so, if you are pulling a spinner rig behind a planer board, wouldn't it just stay on the surface without any kind of weight on the line ? asking for a friend.......
Rewatching all your vids to get ready for summer!
I'm here for the tips so I can slay them tomorrow on lake onedia
Thanks so much for showing what walleyes look like on sidescan. Great video as always!
Your making me crazy!!!! I can’t get on the lakes yet. Ice still. Love your video. I will be ready, thanks to you Tom!!!
Excellent Video with lots of great content!
Binge watching Tom while wishing I was fishing 😂
Yep! I haven’t missed an episode
Another great video Tom...Thanks for the tips
Great video! Gotta love that slight overcast for pickerel!
Nice video 👍, your one of the best on you tube.
Enjoy the extreme walleye fishing
Excellent video
what kind of line do you use on your trolling rods? I'm just getting into trolling myself and I love your videos.

Not if u hit the gills
do you have any actual HOW TO vids of the actual making/assembling worm harness.That would be super awesome!
you can buy them premade
@@milky7577 the whole point of doing it yourself is so they cost about 50 cents a piece istead of buying them at 6 bucks
What speed do you troll at with your spinners
Great video
Does this technique work in river/flowage systems where theres more current and debris?

Hi Tom.Its Deni from Mississauga Canada.If you fish 70' of water,and marking fish 35'-40'.How to drop harness to 35-40 ft. with inline weight?
Hi, some info would be nice. Okuma Great Lakes rods? Length? What is main mono lbs? trolling speed?
Do you sinkers ,on your rigs,and what once

I like the rod and reel setup your using what is it
Can you use lead core for spinners
How do you always stay on bottom when putting rod in the holder??? I have to hold mine and adjust to the depth of the water and it gets annoying ?
Bottom bouncers
What line counter reel do you use
What lake is this ?
Nice
Tom How do you know what weight to run??
What spinners are you using? Just Colorado blades or have you used the butterfly blades also?
That time yr videos had more info and practical. More interesting too.
We used to call those June bug spinners
You don't seem too excited about pulling spinners. Is this your least favorite way to fish? Also, what under water fishing camera should I maybe buy you think? Thanks I enjoy your videos. Best on TH-cam.
I love spinners. I also sleep for 4 hrs a day all summer. Hard to get excited by yourself sometimes.
@@TomBoley that's true. That's true. Lol any type of fishing is fun really
Still.good stuff
Are you running a trolling plate?
Try putting your crawlers into a cooler with ice and water they last a week or so and it's clean clean clean
We keep em in a fridge and add used coffee grounds once a week they stay real healthy
Hi
Any advice for the micro Dipsy Divers ? 20-25ft. dp Ive seen what looks like eyes. thank you
Tun a long lead and check dive curve chart. I prefer to run a 2ounce inline on boards
Any tips on walleye in winneconne
Yes..use rods, lures and bait.
Speed?
leader length?
so, if you are pulling a spinner rig behind a planer board, wouldn't it just stay on the surface without any kind of weight on the line ? asking for a friend.......
He said you can run inline weights. He uses bottom bouncers for various reasons. It was toward the end of the video.
Nice.
Fishing the flowage?
Nope
