EFFECTIVELY Find Fall Walleyes Using Side Imaging and MEGA 360
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Today we are back with another fall walleye fishing video and after a busy week in northern Minnesota I figured we should make a video showcasing the process I use to find fish and then target them on many of the large shallow flats in which walleyes use this time of year. This video features a details walk through of side imaging on the Humminbird and how I break down what I see. Fall walleyes bites are in full swing and the shallow water jig bite is happening everywhere. Thanks for watching!

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

Im 8 minutes in. So far this is the best video Tom's put out so far. Funny and detailed plus instead of just screen shots he shows side imaging video as it happens. Thank you Christopher!
Totally agree with you. One of the best videos Tom has done in awhile.
Yeah Christopher I was a little bummed at you for being so hard on Tom! BUT great content Tom! Thanks for satisfying Christopher with class!
I love it so funny ,. Let's go Cris a bush
Tom, you nailed this video. Fish aside, you not only listened to your viewers but altered your content to meet their needs. You could have stubbornly ignored Christopher but you chose to listen and adapt your teachings. Everyone including myself is even happier with your content and I see this as a pivot point for your channel. Way to go!
Tom and Christopher are the Lennon and McCartney of UA-cam Walleye fishing videos. This is the best side-imaging video on the internet.
Thanks Christopher! A year later and still helping other. lol Great stuff Tom.
We love you Tom Boley! Christopher doesn’t watch enough of your videos ! My husband watches you every day all day, if he could. I think Shelby is awesome too! He actually drives me crazy watching your videos , he takes over our living room 85 inch TV. I screwed up and taught him how to watch UA-cam on the TV. You make his day! You are full of knowledge and entertaining.
Wow Christopher rally hit a nerve! Lol Enjoy all your videos this was another good one👍👍👍👍
DANG Christopher!
Christopher got his very own Tom Boley tutorial. I appreciate you Tom, and the information you provide, I hope Christopher does too. If I had a $1 for every time Christopher was addressed, I’d have enough cash to fuel my boat up. I’m literally heading out right now, so thank you Christopher for inspiring Tom to put this out this morning.
PS- Christopher, I totally thought the same thing about those videos. Only I still enjoyed them.
Awesome video. I hope Christopher was satisfied. I know I was able to learn a bunch. Keep up the good work Tom
Thanks Chris for getting us very informative video!
I can’t believe I haven’t seen this one yet but a HUGE thanks to Christopher! You were pretty good too Tom. 😉
This video was brought to you by: Christopher.
Thanks, Chris.
Thank you Christopher for riling up Tom so he did this video !!
Love the major shade being thrown at Christopher! Very entertaining video 😂
Hello Tom. You have helped me so much. This will be my very first comment. You have me laughing so hard. Thank you Chris lol It really is a great video. I'm going to the lake today and side imaging the lake. I want to truly thank you for all the help. Dave Ose Sr.
What a great video. Guess I need to thank Christopher to some extent lol
There’s a Christopher in every class, Tom. That’s why “it’s in the syllabus” is a meme. That said, the scrolling video - this is fish, that is rock… - is super helpful. Keep doing what you’re doing. I love the videos and have yet to see one where I couldn’t put fish in the boat on a local lake when trying (clumsily) to duplicate what you are demonstrating. I’d say that makes you a fantastic teacher.
Thank you Christopher for pissing him off! Oh also thanks Tom, great vid as always. 😜
So I saw this video this morning. Left Cadott drove 90 min north to Hayward and went fishing. End of the day total. 22 walleyes all over 16”. With a beauty of a thick 25”. All on the weed edges and mid lake humps in about 13’ all relating to weeds. Then caught about 5 tank smallyes on cribs from another Tom Boley video from last year.
Tom Boley is the man and I am forever great full for his knowledge and videos 💪💪💪👊👊👊👍👍
Sitting with my Humminbird in my lap watching this and getting ready for tomorrow! Great video Tom. I appreciate all the insight on how to use the technology.
Content and sarcasm were spot on. Great video
Christopher needs an autographed copy of this publication! Great video once again Tom. Informative and hysterical, love it!
I enjoy the annoyed Tom content lol!!! Awesome vid, keep em coming!
Sometimes work is boring Tom. I know you get sick of putting these kind of videos out Tom but humans are simple creatures just like fish we like patterns. You are the tech guy that's why most people watch. Yes we could watch old videos but neither one of us would benefit from that. You're a world class fisherman we know you could catch fish in the Serengeti. Sometimes we need the rinse and repeat. Great video Thanks
LOL, you really took chris to school, he probably never pays attention in class, and probably has notes on his report card saying so.
keep up the good work "Teach" , I vote you teacher of the year
Christopher not Chris, that's me, lol.
Thanks Tom, great video!
Awesome video!!! Michigan guy here and your channel is BY FAR the best for breaking down structures and getting on fish! Caught my PB this year 31” 12lb toad post spawn in a W Michigan inland lake connecting to Lake MI. Thanks for all ya do Tom! I hope you are reading this knowing you put more fish in the boat for all of us watching!!! Tight lines!
Thank you so much for this and all your videos. Got a new Lund coming in 2 weeks and I’ve been dying to learn walleye fishing for years. Thank you for all your content from Northern Michigan
Great video one of the best I've seen!
Don't be shy with repeating over and over. Repetition is the best teacher
Tom, thank you -great video. Appreciate the “live” action portion; helps validate what I am seeing on my Humminbird.
THANKS TOM AND CHRISTOPHER. GREAT VIDEO. I FISH A VERY CLEAR LAKE IN NORTHERN WISCONSIN AND THEREFORE A LOT OF WEED GROWTH. BY MID SUMMER THERE'S A FOOT
OF WEEDS OUT TO 18 FEET AND FURTHER. VERY LITTLE HARD CLEAN BOTTOM SO IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE FISH ON THE BOTTOM. SIDE IMAGING HAS BEEN GREAT FOR SHOWING ME STRUCTURE, ESPECIALLY WEED EDGES. THEN I GO IN WITH DOWN IMAGING AND 2D SONAR TO PICK OUT FISH. I CAN PICK OUT WALLEYE WITH SI IN THE EARLY SEASON BEFORE THE WEEDS GET GOING. I THINK THERE'S LIMITS TO ALL THESE TOOLS DEPENDING ON THE LAKE YOU FISH.
Well, some videos have angry minnows, some have angry walleyes, and now we have angry Tom. 😀We need to have Christopher add more comments because this was a great and entertaining video.
Anyone else want to thank Christopher for triggering Tom to make such a video?
We'll, I feel Tom has provided, by far, the most and precise information of any fishing channel out there... and he deserves to do some uninformative fishing whenever he pleases.. just my opinion 🐟
PS...that was a great video.. definitely saved that one
i love the live screen view so we can see what your moving in and break it down. very good video!!....
Love the trolling, everything Christopher
Oh yeah one of your BEST EVER!
great video
Thank you for the awesome video
Videos are awesome. IMO the best tutorial and info on the net. It talked time on the water to figure out sonar and there seem to be few shortcuts. I fish pool 2 (Miss) and side imaging is amazing but reading is still a learning process. Thanks Tom you’re appreciated here.
This is so great! Christopher is gunna be ready to rip some lips after this one! 🤣🤣 thank you Tom for all you do for us walleye fisherman!
Christopher we owe you. Tom put on a searching clinic. In depth & tactical presentation.
Thanks
Tom
When is Christopher gonna get a guest appearance? Such a great video Tom! Keep up the unparalleled work!
Had to stop the video to comment before you put a line in the water, you can please some of the people all of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time. I have watched almost all of your videos for the past three years. Some I like better than others, some I have watched multiple times and I believe that you have caused others to change from fish catching videos to informative videos.... great job Tom. If you ever come over to Michigan to fish I would be great full to see how you would fish a lake that have been on. Retired and just learning to fish walleye
Thanks Tom. As always great video content, very detailed. Thumbs up. Keep ‘em coming.
Outstanding video so full of information
Great video Tom. Can you possibly do a really detailed video like this on a river
Great Video, really helps get confidence with side imaging when you cannot get on the water for weeks at a time. Been watching for 2 weeks now I can finally get to my cabin on Leech today!
Dang Tom this video was very snarky towards Christopher but I hope he got your point but I will say you have set a high bar for other walleye content creators mad respect here Tom but honestly you are my guy who taught my son and I how to walleye fish that said great videos as always glad you and the Shelbster had a great time on Leach can we see Shelby deer pics some day 😎
1st time I didn't see you catch a fish! Keep it up Boley.
Awesome video man !
Christopher, if you haven't figured out by now with all his videos posted, sell your boat.
Lol…
x2 lol
LMAO
this should be top comment
It pleased me to no end when I tuned into your latest video Tom. For me, I’ve listened to the tactics and watched the techniques being used but for the life of me, I had very little success catching fish using them. My big take away is now hard it is to see fish using side imaging. I’ve only been using it for two seasons. Fish images are much smaller than I expected. Tom, I also heard you say you have your two Humminbirds linked together. I have a 7 for side and a 9 for down, sonar, and mapping. I need to see if I can get the 7 to link up to the 9 to let me put a mark from the fish on the 7 to the map on the 9. I hope I heard that correctly. I have way more technology in my boat that I have learned how to use. 😎 Thanks for being such a patient teacher!
I have a similar setup (7si/9di) and I’ve only had the 7si this one season. I’m still struggling to get there kind of images Tom gets on my 7. But I have gotten a bit more confidence.
As to networking, both units need to be “N” type. My 9 is G2N and my 7 is G3N. Then you need the cables and dongles. (I think humminbird’s prices on the cabling was ridiculous though)
Good luck!
I really enjoyed the video, even if it did get a little hard on Christopher after a while. As other comments pointed out, much of this can be gleaned cumulatively from your other videos, so I’ll thank Christopher for stimulating it and you for delivering so much.
What I do struggle with are the SI settings. I run a 7si networked to a 9di and struggle to get the sharpness on my 7 that you enjoy on the larger unit. (My fishing budget is limited…). I am finding fish on my SI, but there are probably many more that I am not seeing
I recall a video where you touched on settings, and would love to see a recap/summary all in one like this video.
All jokes aside. After this video I will not feel comfortable asking a question for fear of being repeatedly ridiculed for wanting to learn. I mean not once or twice. Not a few times, but the full length of the video. I couldn't turn it off though even though it pained me because it was useful info.
Holly someone is sensitive. It's actually nice to get direct answers to a question and for Tom to go deep in the details.
I re watched this video simply amazing how to video.
Tom, This was an EXCEPTIONAL video. It was hilarious, my second favorite to the time you took a snow man fishing. Been watching you for years and hope to continue! Im a smaller northern Minnesota Lake guy and your content cannot be beaten!
Snowman is one of my best ,my all favorite is the fidget spinner one with Mitchell,they put Hayward on map.
Great job again Tom! I honestly got bored watching you catch walleye all the time but I love the electronics tips and tutorials. I do have a difficult time telling a fish shadow from woody debris. Probably because on my home lakes the walleye are too small to show up. But I'm a master at seeing the crappie. :) I do need to spend more time driving around looking for those weeds and practicing the process when I'm up at Hayward.
Great video, Tom! Informative and funny…now I need to get out and practice my side-imaging.
Christopher and the rest of us got a great education! Thanks Tom!
It’s my first time making a comment I am subscribe it’s good to know that you do read people opinion just want you to know that you look good on the news boat 👍👍👍
Seriously Christopher now cuz of Tom's tutorial I will have a bunch of people scanning my favorite lake for walleyes thanks but no thanks! Tom Awesome video like always!
This video probably felt a little remedial to you, but honestly this was very helpful to be able to watch “the process” unfold in real time. I’ve been holding off on upgrading to side imaging for a long time, but this video just proves how efficient it makes you on the water. You would literally have to drive through weeds to have a shot at marking those with 2D, and no doubt walleye would have scattered.
I'm usually the Christopher who puts his foot in his mouth, it wasn't me this time. Lol!!! Good job Tom, you rock!!!
Great video, best tutorial, love it, lots of respect towards you Tom
Thanks Christopher
Thanks Tom. I enjoy your videos. I really liked this one.
Moral of the story, don't tell Tom how to do his job cause he does it pretty damn well!
Wrong ! The real lesson is: the customer is always right. Tom listened to what his viewer wanted and put out a great video that many people enjoyed. (Even if he was a little condescending)
Christopher is now famous!
Keep the great videos flowing, Tom. I’ve been fishing walleyes for 50 years, mostly in MN, and I learn something new almost every time I watch you. Granted I never fished every day of the year like you seem to do, but I’m retiring soon and I plan on fishing every day…..between rounds of golf. 😎 You are quite the student of your craft. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and insights so graciously!!!
Love this video........ keep up the good work Tom
I don't know what Christopher did to piss you off, but he certainly got you back on point...that was more or less the quintessential Tom Boley, "How-To" walleye fishing video. God forbid you just go catch fish sometimes! ;)
LOL Tom. Love it!
Tom and I finally have something in common, (it is most certainly not our fishing skills). I rarely post, but this was too hilarious. Thanks Tom!
Christopher...🤫
I laughed my ass off… but seriously Karen, I mean Christopher, Tom busts his butt to bring us quality content every week. Week after week after week…he films, directs, edits and produces everything! So lighten up brother, we don’t want Tom to go anywhere, but fishing😉
So right Eagle 621 ,Tom work is ass for us and not thé easy way .
Chris my guy! Thanks for getting Tom all fired up. I hope you are satisfied Chris. Chris are you satisfied?
Thank you Christopher for asking the questions I wanted to ask and taking the bashing for the rest of us.
I'm tipping my hat to both Christopher and Tom. This video is by far the best tutorial on side imaging that I have ever seen. Interesting to hear what it took to make this exceptional video happen. Tom... You are the man!
Tom your awesome
That last tip about 360 I never heard before 👍my guy about casting to far out banger bro like aways
Brilliant!
Love the video. I went to Lake Erie today to attempt some of this. I come to the conclusion I need a spot lock trolling motor. What ever they call for in wind out there you can just triple that. 4 hours later and I am still bobbing up and down. Lol I caught one 21" trolling. They wouldn't touch a crawler harness. When I found a school I got one shot at casting to them and I would be blown off and unable to find the school again. I resounded to just trolling. In my Bass Boat took a few waves on my front casting deck and that was enough for me.
Way to write it in crayon for us!!😂😂
Wow! Awesome video. I think we all have wanted you to do something like this showing how you break down a spot. I was really hoping you would show your gps and how you use it to go back to a waypoint and where you would spotlock. I don’t have 360 so I generally just try to spotlock 30 feet or so upwind of my waypoints but if I struggle to get bit I am constantly 2nd guessing if I’m in the right spot or did the fish move or are they just not interested in my presentation. Saving up for a 360 but it’s a big expense and I’m sure a lot of people will never have it. Thanks Christopher! And Tom, you legit make the best walleye fishing videos on UA-cam. Period!
Tom I love the videos and the info!! When you come to MN how come you name the lakes you are on and not WI? Leech and Winnie get a lot of pressure just like the Wisconsin lakes. Like I said love the content.
Well I don't know about Christopher, but I like the video! I am an old dog...very old!...and it is hard for me to learn new tricks. But, I'll keep trying. You have the best videos on fishing that I have ever seen! Keep it up because I think they are great.
Thanks again Tom. And to Christopher too. Does the lake bottom determine if you see the fish shadows versus those white grains of rice of the actual fish? Seem my lake is muddy and I don't usually see the shadow
Wow awesome job on explaining on how to be successful with electronics on finding fish, bare the best video I've seen on using the 360 and side imaging to locate and fish those pods.
That was awesome video Tom!! thanks Christopher for bring that up!! It's nice to see Tom pick apart a lake!!
Great video, I’m assuming Christopher will approve. On another note, do you have an idea what kind of mounting system you are going to use when you go mega live?
Let's go Brandon!... No, I meant.. Let's go Christopher! Lol!
Great video as always Tom. I've watched every video you have posted and this was some great stuff. Now Christopher if you still can't get them to bite... just go at night. Walleyes seem to be easier and less finicky in clear natural lakes in the dark.
Very detailed. Thanks brah
This is my equivalent to Let’s Go Brandon. Christopher T-shirts! Let’s Go Tom. Thanks
I am glad Christopher made his comments - Great video.
Thank you, thank you,thank you. Undoubtedly the BEST video I’ve seen covering this topic. I can’t wait to put this into practice. Almost feel sorry for the walleye
Best video yet! Can you go into. Some of your settings as far as sensitivity and how you adjust them?
Late to the party, but this was a great technical video! Thanks Tom!
This and the Jigging Rap video might be the most comprehensive and complete breakdowns of a fishing topic I have ever seen. I have supported you by buying your merch, but I'd pay directly for this content via Patreon. You da MVP, Tom!
Thank you for the shallow water weed edge knowledge. I'm on Lake Melissa just south of Detroit Lakes, and this lake is surrounded by shoreline weeds that come out 500+ yards and then drops to muddy bottom flats. Very few mud to sand transitions. There are zero mid-lake humps. Most of the lake is large open flats on one side and narrower flats on the other. The flats average depth is 26'-28'. The deepest holes drop to 38'-42'. Many weed edges go from 9' quickly into 30+ feet on a sharp break. Most of the walleyes are scattered on these flats maybe in pairs or singles. This lake is 1850 acres. I seem to drive around 7 miles before I can locate the walleyes worth fishing. All I have is down imaging which takes hours driving back and fourth. I'll be looking for weed pockets today in that 10'-15' range as well as the few weed/sand transitions. Thanks for another informational video for the average Joe-Blow like most of us. :)
