When To Switch Lure - Walleye Fishing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- We are back with another video. Most the time when I film a video I know what the video is going to be about before I film it. Reality check.....thats not how fishing works, especially walleye fishing. Switching baits is often mandatory to have a successful day on the water. This video is all about when to switch and the several options available. Fast, Medium, Slow. I don't think about lures much on an individual level but more as a speed deal. When the bite slows often a presentation that spends more time in front of that fish is necessary. Walleyes can be a finicky fish and that is why we love them!
Thanks for watching!

Your knocking out some of the best walleye tutorials on the internet, your way under appreciated!! Keep it up man!!
And that's exactly why guys are always asking me how come I have so many rods rigged up differently. Now I can say because Tom says so. Gold Google eye and green shiner jerk minnow Jr has been killer so far this year in NY. Always enjoy the education Tom
Laughed out loud at you jumping at your phone sound. You also convinced me to get on Side Imaging. I’m so pissed I cheated out and got a DI Gen 3. Great job I know how hard you are working to crank out these videos. 2020 has sucked so they help!
Tom, you are the best teacher for walleye I have seen so far. This video is reality to all of us walleye anglers. We try to catch them our favorite way, but sometimes that doesn't work. And even when it does work for awhile, then the walleye do what they do best and that is get finicky. Great teaching once again. Keep them coming
Long time subscriber, always the best vids Tom. Use your teachings all the time.
A great video showing how you must adjust to what the fish want. Your the man!
Rick Havard. Watch you all the time.Lots of good info. Tried your favorite lure Acme Hyper Rattle. Caught my personal best. 29 1/2" Walleye.Last Mountain Lake .Saskatchewan. Canada 🇨🇦
Yet another awesome and very informative video tom.....keep up the great job sir !!
Your walleye knowledge is priceless Tom. I will pass this on to my grandchildren. Thank you young man!
As always Tom. Great information. I can hardly wait to get on the water and put these instructions to work!! Thanks again.
This highlights the importance of electronics. I fish without any from a small inflatable and struggle to find the fish even though I use all the tips and techniques in your videos. Can’t catch fish if they aren’t there.
Richie C right! I genuinely appreciate the videos but if you don't have the electronics the video tips pretty much go out the window.
Hey Tom - Great video. I really enjoyed the time-lapse stuff.. showed the truth about fishing.
Tom, you are the Man! Make it look easy.
Great video again tom, always very informational... I NEED side imagining !
In one way or another I need to tell you Thank you. My parents have a small place on Delavan Lake, WI. My setup is a Ranger Reata 210. Helix 10 G2N DI at the Bow, Helix 10 G2N DI/SI at the dash. I put together your slip bobber setup with the egg sinker, swivel, jig and leech. I side imaged a tight pod, marked them with a way point, circled back around to the way point, spot locked then dropped the slip bobber combo and landed two 23s and one 21 inch Walley. Without your videos I wouldn't have ever tried that. Thank You for putting out content that's practical.
How far do you run your side imaging out when out looking ?
“A walleye processing plant”. Yup, that describes your boat.
So, you might find this interesting. I was like a lot of Midwest fishermen - I picked up a walleye occasionally and felt myself lucky when I did. Which is exactly what it was -- blind casting, guesswork, and a lot of pure luck.
Then, in the last month, two things happened. I got a Helix 9 gen 3 with mega side imaging, and I watched the last two years of Tom Boley's videos.
I was skeptical. I assumed he was probably selling tackle for his brother-in-law's company or something like that. But I decided to take a chance, so I bought the exact Kalin's jigs and bodies he recommends, watched a few more of his videos and went fishing.
I was wrong to doubt!
Long story short, I went out to an over-fished urban lake near my home (known locally as "The Dead Sea"). I turned on my side imaging and started looking for the sorts of images he describes, found the fish, and started snap jigging according to his instructions. And within about thirty minutes I had crushed half a dozen walleyes, four of them 17-19 inches.
Cynical me, I still suspected that it was some kind of coincidence. But the experience repeated itself, to greater or lesser degrees, over the next several weeks. I am now catching lots of walleyes, I am a total believer, and I will not miss a single Tom Boley video in the future. Thanks, Tom, and keep up the good work!
Good to hear and I appreciate it. Every peice of advice or info I ever put in a video is practical info or techniques which I use! Thanks for watching
+1 with Josh. Your video tutorials are truly hands down the best. I'm wondering if you might consider one talking about your boat and Suzuki motors?
Could you do a video of technique s for walleye on Mississippi River? Maybe techniques as different times of the year?
Awesome vids either way TB!
Keep them coming Tom👀👏👏
Tom could you tell us what map card you use and what youd recommend for MN, THANKS
I got the best info watching you. Now I just need better electronics.
As always awesome video!
Just a suggestion: hook a laniard to your camera tri pod on the back deck and attach it to the boat...just in case! Camera's are expensive! Great stuff as alwaysTom!
Always great walleye tips from you buddy thanks for the awesome vids keep it up!
another great vid, thanks for sharing your knowledge,It looks like your big motor is trimmed up quite a bit ,is that so your transducer has more unobstructed view? could you show us sometime a shot of your transducer setup when your on the trailer?
thanks
Thx for the video 👌
Great tip! I told the same thing to my brothers, they're always throwing plastics. In clear water, boat traffic, and fishing pressure, the bite is going to be tough. I told them to downsize, or change presentations to something slower. As soon as I switched, and started experimenting, I started smashing fish that they could not catch. And from what I gathered, based on the water current, and wanting to put the bait in the right strike zone for a longer period of time, I drifted a plain octopus hook 5' 8lb floruo, and minnow in about that zone of 2-3 fow. Started smashing fish, and shoving it in their face. Funny how it takes them so long to change their ways, only to find out their aggressive ways won't always catch fish. Let the environment and fish tell you what they want. They all soon asked me how I rigged my setup and what kind of presentation I used to approach those finicky fish. Love this about fishing, figuring them out and dialing them in. Also teaching and learning from others. Many thanks to the content as always!
Tom thanks for another terrific video. Great advice. We can't tell the fish what they're supposed to eat. They have to tell us what they want to eat, and we have to give it to them to get bit. This one was a great learning experience, on how to "shift on the fly" and respond to what the fish are trying to tell you. This video is one of your best!
Don't have a boat but have rivers and lakes what's best way to hit the Walters from shore especially in summer ?
Hey, Tom. New to walleye fishing (typically a bass fisherman). I don't have a side-imaging fish finder like you do, and wad wondering if you could make a video for those of us that don't have access to that at the moment? How can I track those fish down without side-imaging? Thanks and keep making awesome videos!!
Have you buy any chance done a video of using your electric motor while walleye fishing
thanks
Tom, thank you for sharing this with us. I struggle a lot with not wanting to change what caught a fish earlier in the day (or yesterday). I appreciate you showing us how you mix it up!
Nice vidio Tom.Thank You for sharing
Interesting to see your changing presentation according to the fish.
Side imaging specifics would be great Tom...range? Sensitivity, contrast? Do you use dynamic contrast? Speed when graphing eater fish, etc! Thanks for the info!
watch his vids on side imaging he shows his settings ,search
That was me that called I’m still wanting to fish lol
Braid sounds like sandpaper, what brand is that crap.
Can you do a video on a lake with bog stain lake like Lake Nebagamon up by the Brule River states forest in north west Wisconsin.
Was wondering if slip bobber fishing would work in Idaho. We dont have many anglers that post on social media about this. So I was wondering if it would work.
Tell me about your boat. Looks like an effective set-up. Thanks
You are one great information Highway. Please keep producing these fish filled action packed videos. Do you ever use jerk baits very much? I understand with your electronics you have your quarry cornered, now, just to bring them to the boat. I often go out and throw a jerk bait as a search and destroy tool. Cover lots of water, but will admit, not as productive as you are. Just enjoy the fight.
How fast r u moving when side imaging?
Would you give more info? What size snap jig? On the bottom? Steady return? How frequent do you jig it? Slip bobber what size hook and type? Sinkers? How deep? com’on how to please I don’t just want to watch catch fish.
Nice👍. Thanks for the great content.
I cant get kalins in northern ontario canada, is there any other plastic you use?
Try using the brand “Zoom.” They make some good baits that look a lot similar.
Great info as usual, thanks for all you do.
You have the best walleye video's. You explain everything about it, like electronics, rods, reels, line, leaders, baits, boat control, the when, where & why of it all ! I have learned so much from watching your TH-cam videos !!! You have inspired me to up my walleye fishing & I have purchased some of the equipment that you use. I really like the style boat you have as well. Thanks Tom.
A request, if I may -- I think it would be very beneficial if you could screenshot all the places you tried to fish on a given day and include just a quick commentary on the ones you caught fish and the ones that didn't produce anything. The reason I ask is that for some of us who are not so experienced with side imaging, it would be helpful to see everything that you thought might be fish or worth fishing. I know it might help me identify the not-so-obvious groups of fish that I am likely passing up.
I just bought a lund 1875. And it has the track rail system. Im not sure how to put rod holders on it. Do i have to specifically buy lund rod holders? What do u have running on urs. Thanks
I understand the outboard can reduce resolution of the Side Imaging. Would you recommend mounting 2 transducer plates on the transom, one on each side? Also, with 2 Humminbirds with Side Imaging as your setup is, are can you split the signal to 1 transducer or better to mount a transducer on each side of the outboard?
Just started catching walleye on lakes I've been fishing 9 years...
I'm amped
Very great information..like all your clips. Helping me catch big walleye in the Pacific northwest
How big of a hook should be used?
Tom when you are slip bobber fishing are you on the bottom or 2 foot off bottom?
If you had to say, about how long should a guy stay with the presentation? My issue has sometimes been that I’m too patient and maybe waited too long before I changed tactics.
How far did you set your side Imaging to shoot out
Run it 80-100ft on each side
@@Not-the-only-one So... 90' then?
These videos are awesome subscribed. I was wondering though can you do something on how you would aproach a lake if you didn't have any sonar?
Love your walleye series, Tom -- I've learned more about walleye fishing in the last hour than in the last ten years. I fish mostly around Marinette and Oconto counties, are you anywhere near there? What lake is this recording from?
Some of the best videos and explanations out there. Stay humble and keep the video’s coming👍
Tom Boley is very intelligent walleye savvy kind of guy, thanks for making me a better walleye fisherman,
Thanks Tom
Hey Tom, how deep did you set your bobber to go? Are you letting the bait go to bottom or suspending it somewhere in between?
HeyTom, never heard you mention in any of your videos how you determine the distance of the fish to side of your boat. Is there a way you quickly figure the distance. Something to do with the depth of water and the range they are out to the side.thanks
Tom, over the past few days here in central Wisconsin, I’ve been catching nothing but 13-14” fish in two ranges, 10-14’ and 17-20’, nothing shallow like 5-10’. Water temps were upper 60’s until the last cold front then dropped it back into the mid to upper 50’s. Do you think the larger fish are mixed in but not biting, or are simply elsewhere? (Last week was catching 17-26” fish bottom bouncing with spinners).
Best channel out the thanks for all the information headed to leech lake June 22 any tips lol maybe a future video idea but have you ever done a video on your boat layout up to date
Do u have any good tips for shore fishing during the summer for walleyes
Tom I see you rely a lot on your electronics how successful are you compared to not having or using them
Another great video....I always look forward to seeing and learning new things...Thanks
What type line do you use for walleye jigging, kinda looks like braid, is that right?
Hey Tom, have you ever knocked one of those camera tripods into the lake. I would.
How do I win the Rod, I'm a new subscriber!!
I would like to see a video on how to use the hummingbird to make lake maps and use them.
Curious on size of reel & type of rod you're using ?
Love these videos. Appreciate you taking the time to explain this.
Solid videos Tom! I enjoy them all, keep up the good work
Do you think that it matters much what time you fish as well? I know the old saying is sunrise and sunset for walleye.
Not true
@@TomBoley that's good to know thanks Tom! I've learned ridiculous amount from your vids keep up the great work.
Fish don't care about the temperature. They are cold blooded.
Tom, I have watched most of your videos. Why is my left side image darker than my right side? I know I should ask Humminbird. Thought I'd ask you as well.
Mine is the same problem your motor is blocking it trim your motor all the way up it should take care of it
I Fixed that problem by leveling the transducer side to side (the dark side was tilted too far down). Good luck.
great tips man!
This is some really good content
How do you like the Elliot Rods
Dude I can’t wait. Lov the vids
Love your video Tom. Ready try pmytuming lake in ohio?
I would love to see him go their and figure them out. some really nice walleye in that lake. Would love to see the video he could make their. Would be eye opening
You ever run a drop shot rig?
Need to show your baits better an how to set then up better
Look through my channel....we have done hundreds of videos showcasing those lures.
Great teaching video
Another great video Tom
What your Snapchat
What would you recommend for blown out rivers.
Big river system.
Big shallow current breaks
What program does Tom use for GPS charts?
Lakemaster
Tom Boley awesome, thanks man! Love the content
Nice relaxed learning op!
