Tom, growing up, Sunday mornings first thing I would do is turn on my dad's zenith TV and watch al Linder, Bill dance and hank along with many others catch fish all around and dream of that time of the year when we would pack up the car and head to TE on LCO for our yearly trip where I could get the chance to fish the amazing waters chasing the almost unseen walleye at the time, with my dad and brothers. Fast forward to now, I find myself on every Sunday morning flipping to you tube find your latest video before all others while I make my wife breakfest dreaming of September when I take my bothers back up to the stunning waters of lco to chase the walleye and many other species of fish while they sit at the bar and heavily support the bartenders money needs haha. Please don't stop making these videos weekly. As I know you are from the same generation as i, and watched the same fishing shows back in the day. Thanks tom for all you do and keep the best Sunday morning fishing shows coming!
Glad to see the lead core reminder again. I'm set up for it. What I like to use it for is mid/late summer and short patterns to get get crank deep quick with less line out.
Just a helpful hint, Tom Take one of your rod holders without an extension on it and place it in its base facing out in a horizontal setting. The next time you get a double going, it makes it easy to fight the second fish by sliding the net handle into the rod holder while you fight the 2nd fish to the boat. I fish alone most of the time, and it has been very helpful. Love your content and your approach to advancing our sport!
Tom, Would like to respectfully suggest you ALWAYS wear your kill tether when operating your big engine. If you run your big tiller engine as I (most) do with a bit of tension on the tiller twist throttle, the engine will not go down to idle if you hit an obstruction, or heaven forbid, another boat hits you. The Warrior hydraulics are as close to bullet proof as any system, but if that were to fail as well, then there will be enormous torque on your handle if you are trimmed way down or up at near full throttle. It is the other boaters we need to worry about most, of course, but if your engine cuts immediate power if you were to be ejected, then there is at least that. Thanks for your videos, and continued enjoyment of the best tiller boat on the water.
Great video man! That's the exact method I'm practicing right now. I've got it producing but not as consistently as other methods yet. I have noticed that it producers a larger size class on the average.
Hey Tom Just a quick question I couldn't tell from the video. Do you use twirlly tips on your lead core rods to protect leadcore from breaking inside the sheath?
Im going to a very popular walleye lake in Washington but i’ve never caught a walleye from my boat. Only under a dam with a worm. So this is helpful. I was gonna troll divers like this or maybe swim baits or spinner blades with crawlers. But i was hoping to troll diving crankbaits
Hey tom love your stuff, thabks for all the tips. Would you be able to talk about walleyes in super deep lakes. I fish a lake that has lots of walleye but theyre notoriously hard to catch. The lake has areas that are over 300ft deep. Would that affect the deoth of where walleyes will hangout? Thanks again. Cheers from Alberta.
Hi Tom, was wondering if you’ve ever been up to Gile flowage near Hurley, very stained water, I was thinking about running bottom bouncers, I was wondering if you had other opinions?
Love the videos, we do lots of lead core fishing I am curious about the rods being used. Does anyone know the brand of the telescoping rods being used?
Hi Tom, Great Video as always. When you say basin structure would sunken islands fall in that category, or rock to soft transitions? also, what speed is optimal to start? when can we expect more walleye now content?
I have a question for you. You mentioned that fish came from cooler water. What effect does that have on the fish. Like die off?? Is that like pulling fish from the deep to surface?? Just curious
Hey guys. Im wondering if any of you can give me some advice. Do any of you troll crankbaits at deeper depths and use a simple pinch weight (not a snap weight) to get the crankbait to stay deeper? We dont use lead core so its always a challenge to know if the crankbait is actually deep enough and in the strike zone this time of year. Any input would help, thanks guys!
@@Bass_attack7755 Good tip, never considered that. I suppose it would best to use a shallow running crank (3-5ft) with a bottom bouncer or pinch weight?
I got a question so the lake I fish alot is about 18 feet at the deepest and how do I troll cranks if the weeds come up to 15 feet even 12 feet the weeds arn't alot but they do come up that high and I haven't marked fish that high so how would I do it?
I fish lakes like you're describing. Fish the weed edges or fish above the weeds. Even in deep water walleyes will come up to hit a bait above the weeds. Weed edges are always good in any lake though from what I've found
Not sure on this video. Have you ever trolled crankbaits at deeper depths and used a simple pinch weight (not a snap weight) to get the crankbait to stay deeper? We dont use lead core so its always a challenge to know if the crankbait is actually deep enough and in the strike zone this time of year in our lake here in ND.
In-line lead weights work great- we use the fish shaped ones they sell at basspro. Come in many colors and sizes. Easy to find how deep you are running if you can’t figure it out w the charts - let back your rig with your line counter and run shallower until you hit bottom- then you know with certainty what that bait runs, with that many feet back with that much lead……..and with lead - speed matters too so it only works for that specific speed too
I always chastise myself about having too much tackle. When usually is just use bait. But you sir… you have an absurd amount of tackle. If you have a whole box dedicated to just the color purple… and just crankbaits that are 7-11$ each.. You are on a different planet than me.
I mostly fish to eat. C&R once in a while. And unless the lake is already screwed, if everyone only ate their limit, the lake would be fine. You do you, kiddo. It'll be okay.
Lure Salesman! I catch hundreds of walleyes all summer in a dozen different lakes here in Ontario Canada, 8 Lb Fluorocarbon Line and the right Rapala. I don't need a $80,000 boat loaded with Electrocnics.
$80K??? Half that in US. Tom use to own a couple Alumacrafts. I have a 2017 Alumacraft Competitor with a Zuki 140, Hum Helix with Kota, cost me $32K. Congrats to you. You should start your own channel. Good luck!
He doesn't either, jerk. He's worked his way up and treated himself. But that doesn't mean he HAS to have all that to catch fish. You should definitely seek professional mental help, kid. You have serious anger, resentment and probably a bit of jealousy, issues that you should deal with. Stay classy, champ. 😅
Or were you trying to sell Rapalas? I've found that the chicks who brag about how many or how big of fish they catch, are the ones who rarely catch anything at all. And they go online and bust balls of real fisherman, to make themselves feel better about being shitty fisherman. Sad little girl. Go get your nails done and take a bath. You'll feel better soon. 😂😂😊

The color on those fish is awesome. Great video again Tom.
What information do you have on the three graphs? Like the wander walk idea to provoke a strike.
Another great video, thanks for sharing. I was just curious, do you use any scents on your crank baits when trolling? Again, thank you!
Are you using a clip to the lure and a barrel swivel up the leader?
Great video man! That's the exact method I'm practicing right now. I've got it producing but not as consistently as other methods yet. I have noticed that it producers a larger size class on the average.
😂😂 I was talking to you through the screen telling you the other rod has a fish on haha

About how fast are you trolling with these crank baits?
1.8-2.4 mph start high and slow down
I was still using the reefrunner 200s ...guess 600 makes sense because the spawn baitfish are getting bigger
HEADING TO ERIE tomorrow , reef runners are good along with spro cranks
I need time off to go fishing
yep like this colors is it yuzuri
Have you ever tried Lake Ida in Alexandria, MN? Very deep clear lake. The struggle is real there for Ida gold.
I always love watching ur videos man keep up the hard work and keep catching those beautiful Wally’s 😎

Linked in description!
Ever used inline snap weights? If so, think that might be a cool video ! Thanks tom!
I do a lot. Reef runner out 25 feet . Add 1 oz. snap wieght and out another 25 feet in 35 feet of water. It works.
Just starting to dabble in them, so thanks for the help
What reel is Tom using? It’s not the one linked in the description.
hey tom, wondering if you could explain when to use boards to get baits away from the boat to not spook fish and when it doesnt matter?
Very shallow clear water.
Heading to Gogebic this week! Studyin up!
Looks like lake sakakawea. If so pulking cranks is very productive
What's the rod and line setup? Please!
Hey Tom in your opinion what are Minnesota’s best walleye lakes?
Pfff! Do your homeworlk. It's fishing, not "catching".
Hi Tom,
Great Video as always. When you say basin structure would sunken islands fall in that category, or rock to soft transitions? also, what speed is optimal to start?
when can we expect more walleye now content?
I have a question for you.
You mentioned that fish came from cooler water.
What effect does that have on the fish. Like die off??
Is that like pulling fish from the deep to surface??
Just curious
It's only 22 feet where I was fishing... They were fine
Hey Tom, what electronics do you prefer? Thanks
I run all hummingbird helix units
I notice that you don't worry about hook set while trolling. Is that because of the speed of trolling doing the work?
Ever use Offshore Tadpoles to get down to depth?
Long time subscriber, first time commenting. Have you ever considered entering the WI Aim or NWT tournaments? Keep up the great content 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
Maybe one day.... Having too much fun right now though
Nice info Video. Thanks.

Use a bottom bouncer pinch weights damages the line.
@@Bass_attack7755 Good tip, never considered that. I suppose it would best to use a shallow running crank (3-5ft) with a bottom bouncer or pinch weight?
Three ways with a weight on bottom swivel and a 6-10’ lead to your crank
@@bigdframingd6820 yes that too. Also there is a clip on weight system forgot the name. There are many options without using lead core.
@@Bass_attack7755 offshore tackle has snap weights. 50 + 2oz works well. Ran this style last weekend in 25’ of water
Is there a dive chart on lead core
Precision trolling app

Where is your kicker motor?
Can you make a video catching crappies
You have a lot of purple, is that a color that catches fish for you as well? And what color purple is it?
I love purples in clear water
Scatter Raps are awesome as well!
Absolutely
Another great education from Tom.
What size lead core line are you using?
Other videos he used suffix advanced 832 12lb. Not sure in this one

I would like to see you catch some summer crappies
Booo
I found a pattern in my local lake we don't have structure and all the "flats" are weed flats. Hard to fish if trolling.
Thanks for the tips.
I know the video before this you said you were heading west... Where you at now?
This was a few days ago.... I am a looonngg way west now!
@@TomBoley must be heading towards Montana... Fort Peck
My
Nice

You should keep some to eat
He does on occasional videos. Catch and release is a real thing. Saves the ecosystem!
I mostly fish to eat. C&R once in a while.

That's because you are from Canada! Much better fishery then the states. That's why alot of Americans come up there! 😊
Tom my dad said he hates you cause of how fishy you are, all jokes, great video!
