The Quickest Way To Catch Summer Walleyes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- Todays video is all about one of the coolest ways to catch walleyes. This technique is definitely the most effective in the summer and into fall timeframe. This is snap jigging baits like the Acme Hyper Rattle. In this video I drive around until I see walleyes. I then drop into the pod and snap the bait very aggressively and boom...fish on. This is a very strange way to catch walleyes during the summer months and many have probably not tried it. So in this video I talk about how I fish the lure, the rod I like to fish it on and why it is so productive. Summer walleye fishing with the Hyper Rattle is such a cool way to catch fish and I hope you have fun fishing this same pattern.
Thanks for watching!

Without a doubt you provide the most relevant information on walleye fishing techniques. I fish in Vilas and Oneida county and I have watched your videos and went out and applied the info and caught fish. I feel like I should give you half my guide fees.lol. Keep up the great work Tom!
I’ve always been a bass fisherman but recently started trying to learn how to catch walleye. I’ve learned more from watching two of your videos than watching dozens of other guys. Thanks for the tips bro
Watching from Canada 🇨🇦, by far the most instructional video on UA-cam, with great explanations every step of the way. Thanks for the information Tom, catching rates have increased for me using the knowledge you share. Outstanding!
I learn more from this channel than the rest of youtube
Such a great teacher of walleye fishing as always. Some of my best fishing.
Awesome video! Tom! Jigging raps, Hyper Rattles, and Johnny Darters have changed walleye fishing. I fish the Missouri River a lot and once the water temp got to sixty I haven’t used live bait. In colder water just don’t rip it as hard. The biggest thing you’ve taught me Tom is don’t fish till you find fish!
Awesome video Tom, just recently got back into fishing after 20 years, I'll be watching more of your videos, as I'm basically starting again with zero knowledge, I love your teaching style
You're the one that turned me on to this kind of fishing. Found it to be very productive. Love the content of your channel and tell my buddies about ya.
Great lesson . I enjoy trying all of your techniques in your videos and my catch rate has increased dramatically.
Thnx DL
We appreciate you making the content ! Great stuff !
Thanks Tom...finally found it, you taught this non Techie , ole fart new tricks. Thanks much appreciated
Keep producing the great educational/informative videos. Continued success
I watched your videos and went on a trip with a bunch of buddies to the boundary waters in Minnesota. Brought my Lowrance with me to put on the rental boats and used this exact technique on basswood lake. First trip I’ve ever really “targeted” walleye and ended up landing a 8.3 pound 30 1/2” walleye! Among other fish of course but I just wanted to send a shout out and a thank you!
I was just looking at these baits on the shelf today. Now I have to go back and get them lol. Another great video Tom!
Snap jigging!! Love it!! I use to do it slow but increased my catch ratio learning from your vids👍
Tom is one of my favorites for fishing tips. Right now water is warm at Ft. Peck so walleye are going deeper. This rod and lure looks like it would work great!
This is crazy, this is basically the only video I have found on this lure. Tnx Tom.
thanks really like the way you are so detailed in your videos on gear and technics.
Perfect...find'em-catch'em video as usual !!
Thanks for the line type explanation. Appreciated. Great video...layerd out well for teaching/learning
Underrated channel. I love this stuff
Awesome video for summer walleye Tom! Pmytuming is waiting for you
Great sharpshooting video! Nice work Tom
Up here in Canada still 62 water temps gotta wait a bit! Great video as always!!
Great job as usual and great to meet you yesterday on the sand bar
Love it! Trying this out this week!
This is the definition of badass!
Great info on the hyper rattle
Definitely one of my favorite ways to fish!
Awesome review.. Finally got a hold of some. 4 hyper rattles. Hornet glow, Purple rain, Tiger glow and Blue silver. 2.5".
Really enjoyed this I started learning these during my ice season never really used them till last year. This is the first time I've seen someone cover this lure. Awesome really enjoy watching your stuff!!
Awesome video. Great presentation! Now I have something new to buy. Thinking of trying it on lake Erie.
Man I wish I lived closer to Tom, as always great info.
I just bought land by Hayward so I can hit these lakes. This guy has helped me get so many more walleye in the boat here in Minnesota. Now I want to see what I can do in Wisconsin.
Good luck
Tom, you have some awesome videos from techniques to rod to lures. I know some of your videos you show us where to get started on the water. Would like to see an example of the map (screenshot) where the fish was caught. Keep up these informational videos.
Outstanding 👍, great info.
Great video Tom, Thanks.
Great video as always, quick question. I fish the bago system and our summer patter is either the mouth of the river or the mud. I've tried this technique without much success on what little deep structure their is. Do you think this would work at the mouth of the river? I'm worried the current won't allow the bait to hit bottom.
Seriously. Who don’t like your videos? That’s incredibly odd to me. You are the best.
Liberals. Lol
Thanks Tom, Very educational and love the specifics on the setup. Keep up the good work
Sweet video man!
Very good info chief,keep up the good videos.I am at lake Champlain.
Great video!! Thanks
So far I love the way you explain everything you are doing....is there any way to video the lure to show exactly what it does when you hit it on slack line?
I heard you mention you use a quick snap to connect your lure. Do you ever use a snap swivel? Does it make a difference between which one you use?
The clown colors have been killing it out here on Erie's central basin lately. I run out about twice a week when weather permits right now, and it's mayfly season. So, crawler harnesses with clown blades and bright beads are killing it right now for us.
Hey Tom, aiming for walleye in Callander Bay, I tried jigging vertical and casting or triple swivel spinner and trolling. What’s my best option here, fishing about 25 feet deep. Thanks man
How fast do travel when your looking for these fish? Do you go past them when you hit spot lock? Is your transducer on the front or back of your boat? Thanks
Hey Tom when snap jigging do you let the lure hit the bottom then snap it up?
Great video as always. Thanks.
Have you fished walleye up in the Timmins area of northern Ontario?
I love that lure for all fish
Tom what are you using your Si or Di to find your fish in the VId. Thanks your awesome
Should you slow your snaps down or follow the bait down in lower visibility lakes so the fish have more time to react to it?
Are you using a transom mounted transducer when you do this or a bow one?
What line do you suggest Tom? And what rod type are you using? I got a Fenwick 7' with braided line. 30lbs test.
I was waiting for a jigging video. As usual you never disappoint. I am looking forward to putting your system to the test on my local lake. Just curious, how many broke rods you got lying around your garage? Bro, you got one hell of a hook set/ jigging rip.....
Great videos Tom, how do you store your jigging baits?
What you do if you catch only small fish? Go deeper, shallower or go to another spot? Thanks, always great video
Tom, Have you tried the hyper glides? I haven't seen you talk about them. They seem like they would catch walleye with a slower fall (more time for the walleye to catch it?)
How long of a fluoro leader do you tie on for this? What brand/type of fluoro leader or does that not matter much?
Thank you so much! 🦈
Hi Tom, I have a St Croix 6"10" Med Lite/xtra fast. Would there be a reason to also get the Elliot 7"3" Med Lite/Fast? I am wanting it for Hyper Rattle snap jigging. Thanks for all your wisdom.
How about power corking that would work too!! And get down there fast also with the right size jig. But I do like the acme hyper rattle something different!!
Hey Tom ,love the UA-cam videos what kind of fishfinder are using? looks like a handheld I’d like to get some information on it. Thx.
Thanks for the info
Awesome video. I stocked up on these baits last year because of your videos. Question: do you ever utilize a hyperglide instead of a hyper-rattle if the fish seem to want things a little slower?
Better for ice fishing than open water.
Great information looking forward to using this technic also bought a pusifun carbon x 1000 love this real over time will be purchasing more.
Hey Tom, our lakes here are exploding with tiny shad right now. Do your lakes do the same thing? Does it have any effect on how/where you fish early to mid summer? Thanks!
Nothing to add here....just love your name!
Tom I am considering the purchase of a Hummingbird Helix SI 5 or 7. What is the difference in the graphics detail between gen2 and gen3?
So are you looking for a certain water temp before you snap jig? Or are you looking for eyes at a certain depth?
Good stuff 👍
Hi Tom, Another nice video! I was wondering if you ever catch smallmouth with this technique?
Tom do you ever do anything with LiveScope?
Hoping this works this weekend when me and my girlfriend go to the land of lakes in Ontario Canada. Never tried fishing like this. Always trolled.
Tom- thanks for the great videos. I look forward to new ones almost everyday. Question that I haven’t seen asked:
When you say hit or snap the lure on slack line, are you talking about the fall, or when you snap up your rod tip? I know you want the line falling on slack but I didn’t know if you also mean to rip it up on a slack line vs a loaded line.
Thanks!
He’s saying you want a slack line for both 👍🏻
Chris Fischbeck thanks Chris
What size or weight of that lure do you use & what size would I have to use to get down to say 50 ft to 70 ft deep?
So if you do not have electronics.....is this method a way of sorting through different walleye structures? ie-if no hits in x time...move on. Or does this method also attract fish so you should stay a little longer??
Best action and power for snap jigging?
What kind (and size) of snap do you tie on?
Hi Tom, big time follower of your videos here. Coming back to fishing after 14 years away and never fished for Walleye but I'm in an area where I can fish for those now.. The one thing I was not sure about was the leader? So you're going from the braided line to a monofillament leader... Are you just tying those two together or can you run a swivel or something between the two? 10 lb braided, to 10 lb (?) mono then to a clip and then the hyper rattler. Is that correct? Just about got all my ducks in order for this. I thought we might be out there today but something came up but hopefully by next week we'll be out doing this. Thanks again for your amazing college level fishing videos!
How does this work with suspended fish, like under a big bait ball?
THANK YOU!!!!!!
It is looking like we may not get to Canada this year for Fall Walleyes. We have options in the Hayward area...what lake is the best option for a pseudo Canada walleye trip? Grindstone, Round or the Flowage? Thanks Tom.
Also, I ordered some Acme Hyper Rattles...thinking about trying those and spoons but would appreciate any suggestions.
What pound fluro leader do you use?
When you’re snapping that fast like on the first walleye are you really hitting bottom every time? Thx Tom
Yes
No
yes, his lure is very heavy and thats what allows him to drop down so quickly and use this "see" method in the first place. the lure sinks very very fast and allows instant access to the fish he "sees" on his radar. so yes it hits bottom near every time.
@Walleyeguy513 👍 that's funny stuff
When your spotlocked what speed are you doing on your graph to get readings
Is there a certain depth for summer structure walleyes where catch mortality becomes an issue if you're releasing fish?
I’ve heard 30-35 fow or more... Just reel them up very slow so their swim bladder can contract in time, and come to the surface inflated.
During the ice season we fish for walleyes past 30 feet and thats usually where the air bladder will become an issue. So 30 feet or more is usually the area this becomes a concern. Reeling up slow as mentioned can help alot, but take note it doesn't always help. The best advice I can say is if your gonna fish that deep, just be prepared to take some home.
Hey man, what line are you running in this video?
I see how aggressive you are with the pole. I think I need to also be a bit more aggressive with the pole and bait. I think this is why I dont catch any of those fish (predators)? Any tips on how to feel the bottom? I just dont feel it with my 6-8 foot Uglystick.
Great video again, very informative. I am just starting to get into walleye fishing more seriously, actually targeting them vs. hoping to catch one while I’m out. When you’re snap jigging these, what line are you using and why?
I know im not Tom but, he uses braid because it has no stretch if you did this style of fishing with mono your line would stretch out.
notoriousL thank you, that was what I was thinking just wanted to make sure. I thought I’d seen a video not long ago where he was using mono. I may have been confused. Thanks again for clearing it up for me.
He answered that question in the video
moop1981 yea I asked before finished watching the video! 🤦🏼♂️ 🤷🏼♂️
Tom , wish I had your fishing, I got lake erie and thousands of boats everyone zig zagging in out trying for a piece of the pie,,100drs of boats at the launches, deep transition for are walleyes are 45 to 62 feet on the mud flats, bottom bouncing and trolling techniques are truly the most perductive way,,wish I had your lakes, were you have it more or less too your self,,western N.Y. is just a high pressure area from fishing too hunting , I'm thankful for what I have, but I'm just saying wish more remote and less pressure and this technique then would be amazing
How do you keep the braid from wrapping around the tip while snapping?
Don't face into the wind
Similar to buzzbomb fishing foe walleye in fall here in Saskatchewan
How do you rig a spinner rig?
I run 8lb mono on a 7' kvd quantum. I lose a pike every now and then jigging, but I have a pretty good catch rate on bass, crappie and anything other than those toothy som bs
Medium/light/fast rod with what gear ratio reel? How many feet does your reel take in per crank?
Hey have a couple of those, what's the difference between the tie points on the hyper glide???
They make the bait more erratic the closer you tie to the nose. More or less action pretty much.
Thanks dude
Will you ever show us how you fillet your eaters.
I'm just wondering, how do you know when you reach the bottom?
Line goes slack
Great videos. I'm having issues with my line wrapping around the tip of the rod anytime I work the snap in. Any recommendations?
Your line is either twisted or the memory is strong.
@@JasonC75 yeah, I'm running braided line and have swapped it out a few times. Still happening. Maybe I need to try a different brand?
@@mikereisman3676 it'd may be how your spooling it too. Spooling from the side of spools twists line. Also there are videos on how to untwist line. I normally run bare line with no terminal or lures on it out behind my boat like I'm trolling. That will untwist it too.
Hows the snag ratio?
Well done!!
What brand of 10 lb. braid are you using?
Thanks
Pretty sure he uses suffix performance braid
Mike Smith
thanks mike, it looks like it’s white, so I was thinking that maybe it’s Spiderwire Invisi Braid.
Correct. Suffix performance braid
