In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens ru-vid.comUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.
Im 8 minutes in. So far this is the best video Tom's put out so far. Funny and detailed plus instead of just screen shots he shows side imaging video as it happens. Thank you Christopher!
Tom, you nailed this video. Fish aside, you not only listened to your viewers but altered your content to meet their needs. You could have stubbornly ignored Christopher but you chose to listen and adapt your teachings. Everyone including myself is even happier with your content and I see this as a pivot point for your channel. Way to go!
DANG Christopher! Christopher got his very own Tom Boley tutorial. I appreciate you Tom, and the information you provide, I hope Christopher does too. If I had a $1 for every time Christopher was addressed, I’d have enough cash to fuel my boat up. I’m literally heading out right now, so thank you Christopher for inspiring Tom to put this out this morning. PS- Christopher, I totally thought the same thing about those videos. Only I still enjoyed them.
We love you Tom Boley! Christopher doesn’t watch enough of your videos ! My husband watches you every day all day, if he could. I think Shelby is awesome too! He actually drives me crazy watching your videos , he takes over our living room 85 inch TV. I screwed up and taught him how to watch RU-vid on the TV. You make his day! You are full of knowledge and entertaining.
Tom after being a walleye guide 42 years on the Columbia River if I have learned anything it's people watch to learn and they don't all see my shows or read the hundreds of articles I've done. Reading the comments alot of these guys are very knowledgeable and watch to maybe pick up a small tip that maybe benefit someday. So they really don't need you or your video's but there are many that do and don't have the electronics we have or understand them fact most my guys just use sonar. So don't bite the hand that feeds you and think about how many people fish like us not many. This video is your best work yet shows it all. Good wrk.
I'm tipping my hat to both Christopher and Tom. This video is by far the best tutorial on side imaging that I have ever seen. Interesting to hear what it took to make this exceptional video happen. Tom... You are the man!
Christopher is now famous! Keep the great videos flowing, Tom. I’ve been fishing walleyes for 50 years, mostly in MN, and I learn something new almost every time I watch you. Granted I never fished every day of the year like you seem to do, but I’m retiring soon and I plan on fishing every day…..between rounds of golf. 😎 You are quite the student of your craft. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and insights so graciously!!!
Wow awesome job on explaining on how to be successful with electronics on finding fish, bare the best video I've seen on using the 360 and side imaging to locate and fish those pods.
Of all the videos I watch your videos are the most informative on all aspects of walleye fishing. I'm in missouri and I'm sure that a lot of your technics for walleye apply here. Much enjoy all your videos.
Thank you, thank you,thank you. Undoubtedly the BEST video I’ve seen covering this topic. I can’t wait to put this into practice. Almost feel sorry for the walleye
We'll, I feel Tom has provided, by far, the most and precise information of any fishing channel out there... and he deserves to do some uninformative fishing whenever he pleases.. just my opinion 🐟 PS...that was a great video.. definitely saved that one
Well, some videos have angry minnows, some have angry walleyes, and now we have angry Tom. 😀We need to have Christopher add more comments because this was a great and entertaining video.
This video probably felt a little remedial to you, but honestly this was very helpful to be able to watch “the process” unfold in real time. I’ve been holding off on upgrading to side imaging for a long time, but this video just proves how efficient it makes you on the water. You would literally have to drive through weeds to have a shot at marking those with 2D, and no doubt walleye would have scattered.
Tom, This was an EXCEPTIONAL video. It was hilarious, my second favorite to the time you took a snow man fishing. Been watching you for years and hope to continue! Im a smaller northern Minnesota Lake guy and your content cannot be beaten!
There’s a Christopher in every class, Tom. That’s why “it’s in the syllabus” is a meme. That said, the scrolling video - this is fish, that is rock… - is super helpful. Keep doing what you’re doing. I love the videos and have yet to see one where I couldn’t put fish in the boat on a local lake when trying (clumsily) to duplicate what you are demonstrating. I’d say that makes you a fantastic teacher.
Sitting with my Humminbird in my lap watching this and getting ready for tomorrow! Great video Tom. I appreciate all the insight on how to use the technology.
Thanks for all you do Tom, I faithfully watch your channel even though I strictly fish for bass. There’s always something to learn here and I love it! Who knows, maybe I will target walleye someday…💁🏻♂️
Wow! Awesome video. I think we all have wanted you to do something like this showing how you break down a spot. I was really hoping you would show your gps and how you use it to go back to a waypoint and where you would spotlock. I don’t have 360 so I generally just try to spotlock 30 feet or so upwind of my waypoints but if I struggle to get bit I am constantly 2nd guessing if I’m in the right spot or did the fish move or are they just not interested in my presentation. Saving up for a 360 but it’s a big expense and I’m sure a lot of people will never have it. Thanks Christopher! And Tom, you legit make the best walleye fishing videos on RU-vid. Period!
Hello Tom. You have helped me so much. This will be my very first comment. You have me laughing so hard. Thank you Chris lol It really is a great video. I'm going to the lake today and side imaging the lake. I want to truly thank you for all the help. Dave Ose Sr.
Well I don't know about Christopher, but I like the video! I am an old dog...very old!...and it is hard for me to learn new tricks. But, I'll keep trying. You have the best videos on fishing that I have ever seen! Keep it up because I think they are great.
I'm totally getting side imaging. These videos are so well done it's like he has a production crew onboard. The front camera, drone shots, and live screen shots make the work professional. Tom is such a great teacher, and you never get the sense that he is holding back information. I love it that catching walleye is not so much of a mystery.
So I have been considering on upgrading to a unit with side imaging and 360 and have been looking for videos to help me make this decision, THANK YOU SO MUCH CHRISTOPHER!!! LOL Thank you Tom for an outstanding demonstration of this equipment, if Humminbird doesn't make you a spokesman they are fools. I also watched the video you were referring to and I enjoyed it as well. Tom, Christopher..God bless you both
Hey Tom, I have been watching your videos for years and I love them. Have a cabin in the Hayward lakes area, so I was drawn to you for that reason. I would venture to say most of us do not get the time on the water that we would like to, so we are continually trying to find out how to use our electronics more effectively. I bought my stuff based on what you use. I always love it when you get down and dirty with precisely what you’re looking for and what you’re looking at. Love screen shots and explanations. I do not watch your videos to get pumped for a trip, I watch them to learn things to make me a better fisherman. You have always delivered all of that. Loved the leech lake videos, anxious to go. I will not thank Christopher, but I will say there a lot of puffers out there catching fish on videos that are meaningless to me because they don’t explain precisely what they’re doing or why. Keep it up, Teach!
I don't know what Christopher did to piss you off, but he certainly got you back on point...that was more or less the quintessential Tom Boley, "How-To" walleye fishing video. God forbid you just go catch fish sometimes! ;)
Great video, I love the sarcasm it adds a little humor to the point. You are such a natural teacher. I keep playing with side imaging on my HDS 7. Watching your videos I really want a bigger bird now lol. Keep up the great work.
THANKS TOM AND CHRISTOPHER. GREAT VIDEO. I FISH A VERY CLEAR LAKE IN NORTHERN WISCONSIN AND THEREFORE A LOT OF WEED GROWTH. BY MID SUMMER THERE'S A FOOT OF WEEDS OUT TO 18 FEET AND FURTHER. VERY LITTLE HARD CLEAN BOTTOM SO IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE FISH ON THE BOTTOM. SIDE IMAGING HAS BEEN GREAT FOR SHOWING ME STRUCTURE, ESPECIALLY WEED EDGES. THEN I GO IN WITH DOWN IMAGING AND 2D SONAR TO PICK OUT FISH. I CAN PICK OUT WALLEYE WITH SI IN THE EARLY SEASON BEFORE THE WEEDS GET GOING. I THINK THERE'S LIMITS TO ALL THESE TOOLS DEPENDING ON THE LAKE YOU FISH.
I'm dying....🤣 Annoyed Tom is HILARIOUS! Never thought he had that in him like that. This video made me even more a believer in Tom. Walleyes slayer. Christopher quieter... Tip of the cap sir!
Videos are awesome. IMO the best tutorial and info on the net. It talked time on the water to figure out sonar and there seem to be few shortcuts. I fish pool 2 (Miss) and side imaging is amazing but reading is still a learning process. Thanks Tom you’re appreciated here.
Thanks Tom, I really appreciate the review of side imaging. I have a lowrance setup (only because it came with my used boat purchase). But it does have side imaging. Today, while fishing, I did see rocks on it...and a few other bits of structure. It's an older unit - it certainly doesn't show the weeds like yours, but I can see weeds. The fish pods are the hardest to discern, I'm still not confident in what I'm seeing. But, in the end, it's quite helpful to have you re-educate us on what to look for. Your videos always get me excited to try again (even after a day of bad fishing).
Awesome video!!! Michigan guy here and your channel is BY FAR the best for breaking down structures and getting on fish! Caught my PB this year 31” 12lb toad post spawn in a W Michigan inland lake connecting to Lake MI. Thanks for all ya do Tom! I hope you are reading this knowing you put more fish in the boat for all of us watching!!! Tight lines!
Lol that was awesome! I appreciate you for putting the content out that you do. Always informative and super helpful! Even if your just fishing I still learn stuff even by just watching your cadence and seeing what your using at that time of year. Thanks for doing what you do!
Thanks Tom! Excellent info, great images! Exactly what I need. I'm just setting up a Humminbird Solix and Mega 360 so this is a good reference! Bookmarked the video.
I could watch you driving around and interpreting side view for us for hours. That was really super useful. Still trying to build confidence in understanding what SI is showing me. Thanks.
Tom I know this vid was made out of spite for Christopher but I found it very entertaining, full of info and funny all in one. I love all the vids, even the less information filled ones. Keep up the great work!
Sometimes work is boring Tom. I know you get sick of putting these kind of videos out Tom but humans are simple creatures just like fish we like patterns. You are the tech guy that's why most people watch. Yes we could watch old videos but neither one of us would benefit from that. You're a world class fisherman we know you could catch fish in the Serengeti. Sometimes we need the rinse and repeat. Great video Thanks
I just absolutely love your response to Christopher’s comment. 👍👌🎣Great job!!!! Awesome video!!!!! I also enjoyed the video where 2 people on the boat were just simply fishing!!!!!😄👌👍🎣
Great video. Love the format, the irratated determination, the swagger of the " how to " and just plain hard core teaching. Going to go walleye fishin now.
I really enjoyed the video, even if it did get a little hard on Christopher after a while. As other comments pointed out, much of this can be gleaned cumulatively from your other videos, so I’ll thank Christopher for stimulating it and you for delivering so much. What I do struggle with are the SI settings. I run a 7si networked to a 9di and struggle to get the sharpness on my 7 that you enjoy on the larger unit. (My fishing budget is limited…). I am finding fish on my SI, but there are probably many more that I am not seeing I recall a video where you touched on settings, and would love to see a recap/summary all in one like this video.
Thank you Tom, for taking the time to address some of the remarks which I'm sure you get overloaded with. I appreciate what remarks Christopher made about the last few videos. One thing which still draws my attention is trying to use this info on Canadian Shield lakes. I mean a lake like Kipawa, where there are hardly any weedlines at all.You have solid rock shoreline, some steep drop offs right from shore, not the traditional long sloping points. Also, you have a devil of a job finding a cluster of weeds. Only choice we have is to try and locate baitfish and follow them. Lake Master and Navionics sure assist a little but only to find shallower water. Also Quebec has a rule, NO MINNOWS at all.Worms, leeches, and trolling cranks or spinners.
Great Video, really helps get confidence with side imaging when you cannot get on the water for weeks at a time. Been watching for 2 weeks now I can finally get to my cabin on Leech today!
It was very humorous and extremely detailed orientated. Just let the Chris's online have his opinions and don't lose any sleep. Just keep up the awesome work that you do. I am going to miss your open water vids when the ice come. I have no clue how some outdoors network has not signed up for a weekly TV show on an outdoors channel.
