    We are back with another walleye fishing video! Today we are fishing in the Excel F4 River Rig and we are targeting walleyes on a small lake. In this video I take the time to break down some small water using Side imaging and mapping! We end up catching some decent walleyes for a small shallow lake. Thanks for watching!

    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!

    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’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?

    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"?
