Love the videos. I just got my new Helix. I really like your ideas about the settings. I will be putting to work in a day. I live and fish in the ST. Croix Falls area. Keep the videos coming. Thanks
Well done again. I wish every video would start with a quick weather report. Water temp, air temp, wind, Sky. Clear-Broken-Overcast. Thanks and have a Nice Christmas
Hey Tom, on this video I see you got to depth finders going. I assume one is side and the other is for down imaging. Won't one kind of cancel the other one out when both are in use? I don't know how they really work, can you you help with this question? Thanks!
Always great information... However, for side imaging I like to collapse the water column (water depth) just to see more side imaging. Range stays the same but you see more bottom resolution on the screen. To collapse the water column go to menu - Side Imaging - SI Enhanced - Contour Mode - On
Must be nice. It will be awhile before the boat comes out of storage. I was ice fishing yesterday, still 6 days left in the walleye season up here in Red Lake Ontario. Like your videos, very informative.
Tom, you are one of the best educational resources I have found. I can’t wait for walleyes to open in Northern MN, to put your tips to work. Keep sharing what you see on your graphs, I have learned a ton.
dunno if anyone cares but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all the latest movies on Instaflixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend lately xD
Been studying all of your videos lately. Thanks for the great info! Mostly learning to use my SI unit I just installed this year. Can you answer this for me? You show how wide you select for your side imaging, but do you change the megahertz setting as you choose different widths? Or does the megahertz change automatically as you choose the width that you want to scan? Thanks. I think the choices are 455 for wide, 800 for mid distance and 1.2(mega) for close range detail
Hi Tom. Love your videos especially the ones on the flowage as I grew up fishing there as well being born and raised in Ladysmith. I grew up fishing the old man style of fishing by sitting on the bogs and dropping a live minnow over the side at a foot off the bottom. We always stayed on the west side. We caught fish but nothing really large to speak of. I am really trying to target walleye by getting away from just sitting on the bogs. I have recently purchased a cabin near winter and it is closer to the East side. I spent most of last year trying to figure out this east side and didn't have to much luck when it came to walleye. In your experience would you say the west side is just better for walleye? Dont want to waist a whole summer again trying to figure this side out if the east side just is not as good as the west. Look forward to your answer and again love the videos, very informative.
I know Im kinda late to the video, but considering you actually seem to know what youre talking about imma try and ask you this. In my area, we fish the walleye pre spawn and spawn in roughly 26ft of water average (Detroit River), would you recommend similar techniques for targeting migrating walleye in the spring or is there something else youd recommend for deep water spring walters?
Ideally your gps signal would be directly over your sonar source and would be taking continuous location readings. So if you have a console boat and the puck has a higher rate than your unit it will be better than not having it. You are already dealing with a ten foot or so error rate, so if your unit is 10 feet from your transducer and you are trying to cast at some walleyes you marked on side imaging, if you come back at the mark from the opposite direction and try to mark the same fish you will be 20 feet off, and that is with a perfect gps signal.

Thanks Tom and Thanks Shebie
Thanks for your knowledge! Cheers
Every time I watch your videos I end up adding to my tackle lol
Great video very helpful
💯 Best content on the Net hands down !!
Tom, Thanks for sharing your information. Great fish. Very informative as usual.
Great vids thanks man
Best walleye fisherman and lady on UA-cam!!

Thanks and have a Nice Christmas
Another killer informational video 🔥🔥
Shelbster!!😂😂

Thanks man as always you do amazing job.
Best content out there
Thanks Tom, great video!
Great! JUST GREAT!!
Thanks Tom awesome information on side imaging
And you bring a pointer with fishing. You the man, mine loves it.
Thanks for the video...look a little chilly out there...👍
How you hook up live minnows. Any tips? Ween gigging
Always great information... However, for side imaging I like to collapse the water column (water depth) just to see more side imaging. Range stays the same but you see more bottom resolution on the screen. To collapse the water column go to menu - Side Imaging - SI Enhanced - Contour Mode - On
Can you please tell me how to do that? I have a Helix and would like to be able to adjust the water column. Thank you.

@Jagger Owen Definitely, have been watching on Instaflixxer for since december myself :)
Thank you Tom and Shelby , I run the same electronics and looking forward to getting over there.
Great video once again. How do you like your suzuki kicker?? I'm looking at getting one
come fish some lakes south of duluth. i wanna see if im terrible or if the lakes are terrible. 😅 love your videos.
Good going and excellent info! Looked like you were using mostly lipless cranks, correct?
Your video’s are really good. Would you do a show on just reading the chart? Drop offs, flats, points, 1st and secondary points! Please!
Tom if a person catches a trophy and wants to put it on the wall but doesn’t want to keep the fish what measurements do you take for the taxidermist?
Definitely a plus for the screen shots!

What line do you prefer? I'm running eyecons and mojo bass.

post spawn at 41° on 4.7.2020 in GB - what indicators did you see to believe that was a post spawn fish?
31 inches...no belly
Actually a concave belly. Just dropped

Where does your dog go to the bathroom at? Especially if the water is freezing?
You deserve better boat Tom
Jim Chambers that’s very true. But he is a great angler and am just wishing him a great boat
walleye walleye walleye, then crappies... Eric haatja got them trout on lock already lol.
Great video (agian) .. I laugh out loud every time you guys call each other "dude"
Tom I know u mark lots of waypoints ,my question is do u recommend using the internal gps or get the puck
Ideally your gps signal would be directly over your sonar source and would be taking continuous location readings. So if you have a console boat and the puck has a higher rate than your unit it will be better than not having it. You are already dealing with a ten foot or so error rate, so if your unit is 10 feet from your transducer and you are trying to cast at some walleyes you marked on side imaging, if you come back at the mark from the opposite direction and try to mark the same fish you will be 20 feet off, and that is with a perfect gps signal.
