I really appreciate your videos. I have learned a ton. Last weekend I took my father in law out. Temp dropped from 68 to 40 overnight and we had a strong NE. Everyone said don't waste your time. He is 85, so I got up early and scouted them just like you have shown. Picked him up on the dock at 8:00 and were catching fish by 8:15. Multiple doubles that day. His smile said it all. Thanks Tom
So very informative. Loaded with tips. This will be my first year with good electronics. Watching you over and over trying to get schooled as well as I can. Thanks Tom.
You have made some of the most helpful and instructive fishing videos I have ever watched. Thank you! I've waded through quite a lot of your videos and was wondering if you have ever made a video using just sonar?
I like all of your videos but this is maybe my favorite video because it shows what you do when you're not catching fish! And some of the best side imaging pictures because it's not obvious to pick out the fish. One thing that would help me is to cover how your transducer is mounted. I've played with mine and gotten it better but I don't get as wide of a picture as you do even narrow (60' across). Great information, thanks!!
I bought a side scan the other day and never knew what I was missing. Caught fish 2 days in a row. Not a lot but your help has actually got me on fish I never would have caught.
I really like your videos and everything you share. I'd love it if you had a fixed camera on the side imaging; I think it would be very informative to hear your narration along with the imaging. For instance at the beginning of the segment, you are driving around searching and talking, but no view of what you're looking at. I'd love to have more of your interpretation of side imaging as you are searching. Keep on keeping on. You definitely are helping me become a better angler!
love your videos ! I have to say though that I don't always see the fishes on the screen shots. For example, at 4:22 how the hell do u see fishes there ! llol
Another GREAT video, Tom! Question: Leaches aren't available where I'm located. Can you PLEASE do a video on alternate presentation methods using crawlers? Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Your channel is second to none!
Great stuff I'm heading up to north woods near Boulder Junction this weekend from IN. for a couple weeks and I plan to try to focus more on eyes this time!
Man, I need to practice reading side imaging. Even in your still shots, I can't tell if they're fish or rocks on the bottom. The second one I could tell, you could see the white lines, but some of them, I would've driven right by them lol. More tips on that would be awesome! Great vids keep them coming!
Thank you for all the great information you give. It has helped me tremendously. My question would be what is your sonar set at, and do you change frequencies for different depths?
Enjoy your videos, looking forward to fish with electronics this spring. Not a fan of touch screen and will not have an expensive electric trolling motor that can relate to my electronics. Going to buy a Humminbird 10" with SI. Can you recommend a model number of a unit I should buy in April.
One thing I need to learn is how to teach my father to use his humminbird to look for fish, not just to see how deep it is! Working on it! Hoping to get one of my own on my kayak, but paddling is slower than trolling motor! Thanks for putting the "boring" homework part of it on camera too.
Can any of these techniques be used if you’re limited to down imaging only? How would you fish if you only had down imaging available to you Tom? Thanks.
Tom, what speed are you going while you have your trolling motor in the water? Humminbird will not give me an answer on how fast you can go without breaking the Terrova. I guessing you are at about 3 mph.
Is the reason that it sort of blocks the scan to the side? I’ve noticed my motor all the way down the other side is not that good. I raise it some and it seems better.
Another great video Tom but the constant split screen is a little difficult to watch and hard to see detail in also. Ol Surly does extremely well. I've seen several dogs eat a hook and it makes for a bad situation. Ruins everyone's day, especially the dogs.

Excellent video tom, great speaker and fishermen. Keep the videos coming
Screenshots and locating advice are priceless for us newbies. Great stuff. Thank you!
You have made some of the most helpful and instructive fishing videos I have ever watched. Thank you! I've waded through quite a lot of your videos and was wondering if you have ever made a video using just sonar?
Beats any tv fishing episode where all they show is netting fish after fish and you learn nothing. Thanks again Mr. Tom!
A lot of good tips. Always learning how you approach an area.
Great video Tom! Keep coming

4:21 I don't understand how you see fish in that image. they just look like rock shadows.
I bought a side scan the other day and never knew what I was missing. Caught fish 2 days in a row. Not a lot but your help has actually got me on fish I never would have caught.

You have a nice companion in Serly there Tom. Great stuff as always.
You have to have the tuffest fingers. I never stick my fingers in a walleyes mouth and definitely not a pikes !love your videos.
Another GREAT video, Tom!

Great video as always.Could you do a video on using sonar and down imaging for those of us without SI to locate fish?

The second one I could tell, you could see the white lines, but some of them, I would've driven right by them lol. More tips on that would be awesome! Great vids keep them coming!
Another great, informative video! Watching you and Surly makes me want to get a dog again.
Thank you for all the great information you give. It has helped me tremendously.
My question would be what is your sonar set at, and do you change frequencies for different depths?
I'm not jealous of many people but I'm a little jealous of your time on the water and your knowledge. LMAO 😂👍

Man you are good at what you do! Thank you for these videos! BTW Why are you not in the National Walleye Tour?

Thanks for finally doing a video on the great nama
What's that
Tom Boley Lake namakagon
Can any of these techniques be used if you’re limited to down imaging only? How would you fish if you only had down imaging available to you Tom? Thanks.
Tom good video ones again
What kind and size of hooks do you prefer for use with the bobbers? And maybe why the choice?
Great vid
When yr catching 14"-10"'s in spots what does that tell you about the spot? any patterns you key off of when you find predominantly small ones?
iv heard that big fish hang other big fish versa
Tom, what speed are you going while you have your trolling motor in the water? Humminbird will not give me an answer on how fast you can go without breaking the Terrova. I guessing you are at about 3 mph.
I’m going to Lac Vieux Desert this coming weekend. I’ve never fished it. Do you have any experience on that lake?
Tom, when you spot lock do you slow your chart speed down to 1 to get a better image?
No
Looks like they're chubbing up a bit...i always enjoy your vids and I always learn.
Looks
Thanks!
When you side scan to find fish it seems like your motor is trimmed up a bit. Is it?
Yes
Is the reason that it sort of blocks the scan to the side? I’ve noticed my motor all the way down the other side is not that good. I raise it some and it seems better.
@@s35flyer You are correct. My motor blocks the beam, too.
hey Tom are you still using the wobble bobbers or have you completely switched for a specific reason?
Wobble bobbers are a little more user friendly. These are just the ones I tied up a month ago haba
@@TomBoley alright thanks....tight lines!!!!
Long periods of stable weather, I'd say 3-4 days... Temp wise, maybe 2x that for water levels in river systems.
Great video, what do you use for your video editing software?
Lot of UA-camrs use davinci resolve
This was amazing how to work a location
That's funny how you play it off like there is no fish on the line. I do the same thing just to keep people away from my spot. Good thinking!!
Looking forward to see you putting a video using night crawlers instead of leaches to learn your technique. In my state live bait is not legal.
Hey! How about a night fishing episode. Walleyes bite at night with a moon don't they?
I catch my few walleye about an hour before the sun is setting to 30 minutes after set. I see this guy gets them in full sunlight, so who even knows.
How would you find these fish without side imaging?
Troll with crank baits or bouncers until you catch one would be one option. Then mark the spot and see what happens with slip bobbers.
Tom, your the Bees Knees but your split-screen is showing just your knees
Another great video Tom but the constant split screen is a little difficult to watch and hard to see detail in also. Ol Surly does extremely well. I've seen several dogs eat a hook and it makes for a bad situation. Ruins everyone's day, especially the dogs.
I feel like u fish the same lake each day
I alternate between 4 or 5 lakes
Good
this split screen sux.......otherwise like the vids
almost first
kind of
Take away the two thousand dollar side sonar and show me something
first!
