    Today we are back with another video. As we move into late summer, one of the locations that holds a ton of walleyes during this time of year is the hard to soft bottom transition. In this video we do some summer walleye fishing on this transition and explain it in full. Trolling is a great way to target these fish and in this video we catch a bunch of walleyes. Of course I include a ton of Humminbird screenshots so you too can find and catch these fish! Thanks for watching!

    Thank you for going 'in depth' where to find these fish this time of year, it's always been tough for me late summer hoping to put these tactics to work and boat more fish. It helps me out a lot when you show screen shots and the differences between hard and soft bottom transitions. Thanks Tom, appreciate you.

    The lakes I fish employ weed cutters almost every day. This creates a LOT of floating weeds, thus making it basically insane to attempt to troll. The exception is when we get a strong wind for a few days, blowing the debris to one side/corner of the lake. I have resigned myself to focusing on small spots and drop shotting crawlers and leeches. Might try jigging raps next outing. Your content is crazy good. Just wish I could implement these strategies more frequently.

    I could open a sheepshead and catfish charter using all his techniques in Muskegon Lake in Michigan. People are getting walleyes here and there. I mark em all day long. Too many floating weeds to get the baits presented long enough. So frustrating. You make it look so easy. I need one walleye to get my spirit up

    Hey Tom ,
    I really enjoy your videos , discovered your stuff about 4 months ago and I've really been learning alot from you .
    I'm in Michigan about 10 minutes away from the Wyandotte ramp on the Detroit river so most of my fishing is done over there . Do you ever fish the Detroit river ? I know a guy like you would absoloutely be slayin em over there !!
    River fishing tips are really helpful for me as I haven't been able to get up north to inland lakes lately .
    One thing I've noticed is on your more recent videos you don't seem to mention the size of the fish . I'd really aporeciate it if you could (or even throw one on the old yardstick sometimes) sometimes the picture is deceptive when you hold them in front of the camera .
    Thanks for all the great information and tips that you put on here . Your videos are awesome !! 🙂

    Tom, Great content. How does the thermocline TC relate to the deep transition where your are fishing. I'm on a northern WIS lake that has a TC ~22-25 and never see anything below that and have graphed many transition areas using the side imagining. See suspended fish and bait fish above. Just curious what you are seeiing. Thanks again

    Hi Tom, great videos, easily the most informative and detailed explanations of all the walleye content on the web! You mention that you don't always put the bottom-bouncer on the bottom of the lake. We have whitefish in our lake and I've always assumed when in ~20ft of water that fish half-way down the column are whitefish and ignore them. Cameras don't really tell the tale, clarity is not great. I've recently tried to use jig/minnow/leech to sit on these, no luck. I'm in Saskatchewan so only 1 rod allowed in the summer per person. Do you find that walleyes suspend when in those depths? Or is it more likely in deeper water (35ft+)?

    Everyone talks catch and release but nobody talks about appropriate harvest or over fishing. I used to fish for sport and now I fish to eat, but tend to practice harvesting principles much more closely related to that of other game management techniques, such as deer hunting; take only the mature animal for harvest and leave the immature ones to grow and reproduce. Why is fishing principle different?
