Just wanted to say thanks for the video! Gave me the incentive to get out this morning and ended catching my personal best. Only 28” but to me that’s huge
Damn Tom,definateley doing one hell of a job on your videos. The most consistent best tips, advice of any Canadian fisherman out there 👌😃keep it up Tom definately great stuff and rolemodel
Love your videos! I learn more about walleye fishing watching your channel then decades of walleye fishing. Do you use a swivel to attach the braid to flourocarbon leader? Thanks!
Hay Tom do you have a depth that you set your slip bobber off bottom when fishing power bobber techniques ? Or are you trying to keep in the same depth so your not add justing every cast 🤔 or do you set like 3ft off bottom to be able to fish multiple depth with out having to change??
Great video, as always. I’m trying to figure out your slip bobber setup. Large 1/2oz. Wobble Bobber with bead on top and 3/8oz weight tied below, ahead of split ring? This gets the short shank jig and leech down to bottom & fish. Do you then reel up off the bottom and dangle in front of the walleyes?
Tom,thanks for your videos; I’m still learning how to catch walleye, and this old fisherman has sure been humbled. I live on a lake where here in Missouri where the lake has been stocked for several years because they can’t spawn at our lake. Many are getting pretty good size, a lot of shad in the lake. Will/should most of your techniques work here as well? Thanks, you have a new subscriber.
So are you trying to put the jig just above the depth the fish are marking? Or about the same depth? Or on the bottom? The egg weight is just used to get it down quicker?
Looks like you were fishing in 25 to 30 fow and the surface temp was just under 70F. Would you say that a thermocline hasn't formed yet, or maybe won't form on that lake? This is something I sort of struggle with is knowing the depth the fish can be in due to oxygem levels. Thanks for the videos and all the tips!
hey Tom you should put a 2h video just seeing you looking for fish... just to prouve my friend that you spend more hour on finding the fish then fishing xD thx
What type of Bobber stops are you using with the braided line? Is it the string type or the neoprene type, in a small size I'm assuming. Could you please let us guys know that's the only question I really have that's a great system you have going I just need to know about the barber stop what you recommend for that. Also an excellent tutorial video, thanks Tom
Tom. When you use slip bobbers do you have a bobber stop on the line at the depth you want ? You don't mention a bobber stop.. like a rubber band or string stop.
I have been fishing the Ottawa River here in Ontario. Narrow with current and gets to 80 to 100 feet quick. I haven't been lucky at all. I am still prospecting since i have started using my garmin uhd 95 unit.
He didn’t even mention a bobber stop, unless I missed it. Constantly changing it, while he motors around, not sure they did that…I don’t know even if they were using one. He would just say “drop em” when he motored over fish. Probably can still feel the bite though
@Jordan Drier he didn’t even mention bobber stops. Makes me believe he is not using them. More interested in the vertical presentation from the big slip bobber he uses, kinda like ice fishing. Can lift it a foot or two once u notice line stopped being taken. On his graphs, the fish are just off bottom or a foot or 2. His buddy nails them when he says to put their lines in/ he’s the one closest to the transducer
Tom, what's your thought on keeping trophies? I'm talking 30 inch + .. my PB is 27.. waiting on the 10 pounder to put one on the wall .. also might help some guys to shed a little light on release mounts.....
It's solely up to you bud. Where he fishes a 30" is actually fairly common but were in a blessed land. A big one is 32"-35+ but a 28" can easily be over 10lbs even with no eggs. Replica mounts are a good option to keep the big egg trains producing.
Use a big musky bobber. All bobbers are equal once weighted properly. Musky bobber with heavy weights work anytime for any size fish. Casts farther. Stays where you put and is JUST as sensative as any pan fish bobber when neutral bouyant. Think about it. It's not rocket surgery.
So u run the slip weight above the swivel, then tying your leader directly on to the other side of the swivel? What we’re u using on the jig? Leaches or minnows? Great video. Fish On Hooked Up !!
Always changing the depth on the fly...I drop my rig down next to the transducer and graph how deep it is ....it will show up pretty clear on the hummingbird
@@TomBoley Tom I live on st.albans bay, south shore and I’m close to opening a rental house across the street from me on a protected harbor that accesses the lake, I would like to work out something with you...drastic discount VS promoting my rental.

This video still had little tips that are slightly different from his normal slip bobber setups to help up your odds a little in deep water like that if you pay attention to the details. Don’t watch if you don’t like it. There’s only so many techniques to catch them.
Thanks for showing the fish on the graph. It helps to know what fish look like on the fish locator.

Only 28” ? Lol Walleye? That’s an amazing fish. You didn’t know that?
Congrats by the way!
@@Anonymous-eu2kn haha yeah a walleye. A lot of people in the area have caught over 30s so that’s why I said it was only 28
Great information, as always. It's always nice to see someone catching fish, when we're too busy to get out ourselves. Keep them coming !
Lol, Tom preaching on the water class to his pops, buddy and us.
Same as Jon, thanks for the 2- D and DI, for the restivus.
Love the slippers. At times the best. Right on Tom.
Out on the pond doing this exact method as you post this. Great video as always
Lol. Your dad and friend should have switched spots! You friend was catching all of them! Nice vid as always Tom!
Sweatshirt came in. Will shoot some pics in it using this technique. Thanks TB!
Looks like a super fun bobber bite!
Good one and 2D screen shots help figured out a lot hook🆙
Great video you have so much information. Thank you.
Thanks Tom helpful information as always
Great video very well done on this tecknique on the how to do this.
Thanks for showing 2-D and down imaging at the same time.
Yeah I didn't think the walleye would look like dots on di.
I can't even get fish to show up on my down imaging in the black and orange mode.
@@tannerfrancisco8759 how deep of water are you in and are you moving or sitting still?
Reminds me when i went deep sea fishing in P. E. I. I was catching all the mackerel and cod.
Any chance on your next video you could go though all your hummingbird settings! Would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
Damn Tom,definateley doing one hell of a job on your videos. The most consistent best tips, advice of any Canadian fisherman out there 👌😃keep it up Tom definately great stuff and rolemodel
Is he Canadian though?
I've never tried using a slip bobber for walleye. I'll have to test this out.
Tom, do you ever do a video fishing shallow, small difficult lakes south of Hayward or the Chip?
Love your videos! I learn more about walleye fishing watching your channel then decades of walleye fishing. Do you use a swivel to attach the braid to flourocarbon leader? Thanks!
Never herd of this method for eyes very nice
Cool vodeo, I have been catching a lot of walleye using crankbaits on my channel.

Once you mark fish, are you briefly popping the big motor into neutral? Also noticed you seemed to be traveling upwind.
Definitely doing this tomorrow morning with gold jig head.. cloudy all day tomorrow, no wind.. should be fire!
How'd it go?
@@patricksproperties671 caught more casting spinner rigs.. power slip bobber wasn't as effective.. it has its days and time.
Looking fast and furious

Love your videos, was nice running into you at the “secret boat launch “
Sorry about your rig, hopefully you are back on the water soon!
Little grease and some bearings and got her fixed. Good meeting you!
@@TomBoley That’s good! Wish we could have chatted more but I could tell you were in a bit of a situation!
Looking forward to all the new videos
Hey Tom why were you not using mega 360 when you were driving around looking for schools of walleye?
So are you trying to put the jig just above the depth the fish are marking? Or about the same depth? Or on the bottom? The egg weight is just used to get it down quicker?
Perfect time for a vetlrtical jigging rap presentation.
Tom what bobber stop do you use?
Getting close to 80,000!!
Tom do you have multiple rods setup for all the different techniques you try or do you use a few rods and change them as you change techniques?
How do you set the depth on your bobbers? I noticed at one point you guys dropped down in 29 feet and then after you guys dropped in 23 feet?
Looks like you were fishing in 25 to 30 fow and the surface temp was just under 70F. Would you say that a thermocline hasn't formed yet, or maybe won't form on that lake?

Tom, where do you buy your 1/4 oz wobble bobbers? Everywhere I look, they are unavailable.
What type of Bobber stops are you using with the braided line? Is it the string type or the neoprene type, in a small size I'm assuming. Could you please let us guys know that's the only question I really have that's a great system you have going I just need to know about the barber stop what you recommend for that.

Use 6" mono and tie an uni knot. You just need a bead between the knot and the bobber.
How far off bottom do you keep the bait?
Ya running any bobber stops?
What net do you use?
Tom. When you use slip bobbers do you have a bobber stop on the line at the depth you want ? You don't mention a bobber stop.. like a rubber band or string stop.
Are those just big or is it the way your holding them
Minnows, crawlers, leeches, plastics? Are they all situationally effective with this technique? Thanks Tom!
All of those are my absolute favorite!
Please explain how to set depth!
How are u setting the depth for the slip not
I have been fishing the Ottawa River here in Ontario. Narrow with current and gets to 80 to 100 feet quick. I haven't been lucky at all. I am still prospecting since i have started using my garmin uhd 95 unit.
Try shallow with weed line
@@sylvainlaurence1554 will do thanks!
I do bottom bouncing in 16 to 20 and do ok
Hey Tom….how can I get an Elliott rod into Canada ?..
When you’re in 25’ of water how deep should you have your bait at? 22-23 ish?
Depends on the water clarity. In clear lakes being higher like that will give more fish a chance to see it
I was also curious about where to set the bobber stop given the variable depth, although it's a similar range. Any extra insight is appreciated
He didn’t even mention a bobber stop, unless I missed it. Constantly changing it, while he motors around, not sure they did that…I don’t know even if they were using one. He would just say “drop em” when he motored over fish. Probably can still feel the bite though

Let’s say I’m fishing 23 feet of water, how deep should I have my bobber slip down?

What depth are you presetting your depth and then do you ever change the depth?

Do you have a specific tool to thread your line through the wobble bobber I found it near impossible to get the line through
Yeah it's a pain in the arse!! I use a paper clip or wire tie.
This x1000...they suck to get line through
Do it at home and blow it through with an air compressor
I see your point, but there is no way I'm hooking up my air compressor to thread some slip bobbers. If I can't do it on the water, it's not happening.
Good god, given the Alcatraz-like restrictions on walleyes in that lake until September, I would be afraid to even graph a walleye!
I might have missed it but what kind of bait was he throwing, minnows?
Leaches
Tom you never said what you were using for bait minnows,leaches or worms?????
@@2344l thank you I never caught that
If you can see the fish why use a slip bobber vs a jig?
Did you learn from your dad about fishing?
Tom how do you adjust the bobber stopper depending on depth as you moving?
Most people use their rod length to measure
Come to leech and show me how to fish it. Gets worse every year. Ready to sell cabin and boat.
Check on the podcast Walleye Talk, it’s done by two leech lake fishing guides, loaded with info specific to leech.
Did you learn fishing from your dad?
Anyone have a count on the number of times "power slip bobberin" was said?
