How to Find and Catch Spring Walleyes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Today I am chasing walleyes on Green Bay. This video focuses on how to find walleyes when fishing in the spring. Spring walleye fishing is all about water temperature and locating fish on large shallow flats. I use almost exclusively side imaging to find walleyes in the spring. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more walleye content from Green Bay.

Awesome video
Very Nice.
Love the videos. Just got a boat with a helix 10 gen1. Not always knowing what I'm lookokng at. My first boat
Hi Tom , please do some videos on dirty or at least colored water.
Best fishing educator on the planet!
Good job I learn a lot from your vids I just bought helix 10 DI / SI I love the way you explain how to use it KEEP ON FISHING
I appreciate you explaining why you use a particular rod...or any equipment for that matter. You are a good teacher.
Love these short, awesome educational videos. I so much appreciate the time and passion you put into these. Keep them coming please.
Thanks Tom!
Tom - do you see a difference in the strategy for a reservoir?
You will likely be looking for structure as opposed to just fish on a big flat. But water temps and side imaging are always the way to go in the spring
@@TomBoley so I should be fishing shallower vs in 20-30 feet? Does the time of day matter. Our water temp is ranging from 40-52 degrees depending on the area.
Awesome Vid Tom!!!👊🏻
I like just watching you catching fish
you should fish h2h
Tom, great video! Any chance you could do a walleye fishing video using blade baits? And could you please explain the different applications for blade baits vs the rippin rap? Thank you! Keep up the legendary content!
This
As always the best !!! Thanks for all the info I actually look like I know what I'm doing out there now!!!!! I tell everyone I know to watch your channel and subscribe. Is that rippin rap the sour grape color I know you like everything GOLD!!! THANKS TOM
Awesome video - as usual...
Always been a Lowrance guy but gonna get the humingbird now forsure thanks
From an old cheesehead who has been in MT for 40 years, I've really enjoyed all your videos. I have a Helix 9 gen2 and wondering if your using the transducer that comes with or did you upgrade your transducer?
Oh man. Cant believe you are hitting open water. Was -24c today in Alberta
Can you talk about how you manage boat control with movement using your big motor vs your trolling motor?
Another awesome video! Could you maybe show how fish show up on side imaging while the boat is stationary. Thanks!
another great informative video Tom-wish I would have said hello the other day out on the water
Great video
Hey Tom, Huge fans of the videos, learned so much from them. How about a vid of your walleye trolling set up? Rod, line, etc. Keep up the great work!
Really enjoy your videos. Very informative. I haven't had the opportunity to use SI before, and can't wait to try it. I understand as you drive over structure going forward the image you see develops as you drive. A lot of my fishing is done on a river where we tend to drift with the boat sideways so 2-3 people can fish out one side of the boat so my question is: Does SI appear the same on the unit if you are back trolling, or drifting with the boat sideways on a river? If not, how is it different?Appreciate any feedback.
Man I love your videos. Very comprehensive and you nail em. Have you ever tried Berkley Nanofil though? You can absolutely bomb it and it doesn't make that annoying braid sound. I use it exclusively. The hi-viz chartreuse is especially helpful for vertical jigging. Would like to see how you could do in the Detroit River...
Great video. Really appreciate that your videos are educational and not just you catching fish. Do you have promo codes for the picifun reels? Looking to get another carbon x.
Tom is that a costume color jigging rap. Where can you get them. Another great how to video. Out at Erie right now absolutely killing walleyes Port Clinton area.
Please mention where you are fishing, possibly where you launched and general vicinity. Maybe like Bayshore Park, Red River, Oconto, Marinette etc. Green Bay is quite vast from De Pere to Door Cty. Thank you.
Love how you explain stuff your a great teacher, keep up the great content, can you do a video on using boards how you like to run them and some of the bait you like to drag. Thanks
Let me know if 7 with si would be as good thanks Tom
Any suggestions for late may boundary water walleye fishing
Great videos !!! Very informative and fun to watch. What are the color shad raps did you use in your last two videos. Thanks for sharing.
I agree with Mark. Tom you are the best educational fishing show on UA-cam by far! But man the screen on the Hummingbird is BAD!
What about rivers for spawning walleyes and river mounts for pre spawn walleyes?! Here in Saskatchewan anyways
I know that bait! Larson Quality Baits! Great color.
Tom Awsome man, I'm hoping this technique of working the shallow flats of lake Erie will work the same.
Thanks for posting these videos. I am out on the bay now north of oconto river. Driving around I see water Temps 35 and found 38.8. I simply don't see the pods on my side imaging. Maybe its the way the videos are edited but it seems like its automatic and u catch them every cast. I spend 8 hours a day out here the last 4 days without a fish. Could u speek on how many u would catch in a day? Like hundreds or 10's? For new anglers out here it after watching your videos vs. What I experience out there its I am on the wrong body of water. Thanks again for posting
Great video Tom! Could you talk about what kind of settings you have your hunminbird down imagining set at to get the clearest most detailed read to find fish in that 10-20 ft of water.
Just wondering what size Rippin Raps do you the most. 2 or 2 1/2 or 2 3/4
Size 6
Awesome video as usual. I was wondering whose braid do you like and what lb for this application? Thx
WHERE DO YOU GET THE PURPLE AND GOLD RIPPIN RAPS WITH PURPLE ON TOP GOLD ON BOTTOM? EVEN THE RAPALA WEB PAGE DOESN'T HAVE THAT COLOR.
U paint them yourself
north shore bait has a rippin rap called sour grape reaper thats pretty close, few other out there that will work for you
Nice Going Tom You Yave The Knack! What Part of green bay doesn't look very vast (open)
Hey man, wonderful video per usual. Can the follow the warmer temperature method be utilized in the border water lakes of Minnesota/Canada as well such as Voyageurs National Park and the BWCA? Most people tend to fish river inlets emptying into the large water where the majority of the fish spawn. Could finding temperatures be an alternative depending on if the fish have spawned or not already?
Hi Tom Excellent program you have here. Two questions. I see you have a nice netting storage systems in your boat. May I ask where you got them from. I can’t find them online anywhere. Next question. I noticed on your Green Bay night trolling video you had one lure with a leader and the other tied directly. Any reason for this? Keep up the good work and let me know if your ever fishing the Cisco Lake Chain in Watersmeet Mi.
All The Best

What line are you running on your jigging rod and the rippin rap rod?
Wolf river in may hopefully. Any tips for that body of water fishin bass
Tom, that’s quite a transition from Mojo bass to Elliot. We’re talking GLoomis quality with a similar price point. Hopefully Elliot came through with your testimonial. Enjoy all your video, keep them coming!
Hey Tom, I'm in northern MN. Would you use this same method of searching shallow flats with SI during opener or is there another search method you prefer for early May?
I had the same question. MN opener is typically mid may with a post spawn bite. Water temps will be in the upper 40's to low 50's. Does the water temp rule apply at this time as well?
What line would you recommend for clear water like that?
Maybe an informative video on how you're using that particular hard bait. How far you're casting it cadence technique whatever. Is that basically a lipless Crank like 6 sense makes?
Hey Tom, great video. Are you going to try out the 360 imaging? Looking at getting a new unit and wondering what you thought about it
I can’t even imagine how beat up that rippin rap is
I would love to see some underwater footage of springtime Croppie.
Stop throwing them back !!! If there keepers keep them. If hunters don't release deer, ducks, turkeys, rabbit's that they shoot, why should you release fish, especially keeper's.
Nice catch, Tom. I see you have an East time removing hooks, do you remove the barbs.
More spring trolling with live bait.
Yoou talk way to fast..lol give a link of your lures you use..please
Love your vids, but you GOTTA clean your screens. What would you use to clean?
Great Vid. Push past the 10 minute video mark and you’ll make more money on your videos. You do the work you deserve it.
Clean your screens dude!
Mark Langeneker thought the same thing. He’s to busy catching fish
Didnt think you were supposed to be guiding

Can you talk about how you manage boat control with movement using your big motor vs your trolling motor?
