Today we are back with another video. Todays video is all about How to troll for walleyes like a pro. In this video I talk about a lot of the basics that will help you catch more fish when trolling. Trolling rods, lures, speed and boat control all play a major part in catching more walleyes. Summer is probably one of the best times of year to troll for walleyes as fish are generally spread out on deeper flats. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more!

Great video! I would like to see you do a whole in depth series on trolling. Like basics including setting up a bigger spread i.e. 6 planer boards. How far to set each rod out before and after the boards to get a good spread. Bait selections. Clearing lines out of the way to fight fish. Different baits( cranks, spinners, lead core). Speed ranges for each. The possibilies are endless. I know you cover most of this in different videos. Bu putting them together in a series would be great! -boley 4 prez

I am learning sooo much from you! The old adage that "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" (I'm 73) just isn't true! I fish Fort Peck, Sakakawea, Devils Lake, Canyon Ferry and a few Lakes in Minnesota! You are one of my go-to guys for training! Thanks a bunch!

@kerrydahl5120 3 года назад

I just got back from Canada last night after spending 9 days up there. I mostly trolled, but would have liked to try your techniques such as finding walleyes in deeper water. I can catch more fish trolling the rock shorelines in 7 to 15 feet of water than out in 40 feet (but don't catch the 30 inchers). Great video! Thanks Tom!

@ironmule5200 3 года назад

More great content!...and in this one there was a ton of it on a multitude of different topics. What I personally love about a channel like this is even though I live on a 500 acre lake in Indiana, which is certainly different than the lakes in Wisconsin or Minnesota, I can take these same tips and tricks and tweak them again and again until the basic concept starts paying off. I love that process! Thanks for pointing me in the right directions Tom!!

Just bought a Minn Koda Terrova 80bl 60” 18ft open aluminum Lund. Going to install next week. Although it took me a while to sell the wife on the idea, I’m sure it’s gonna be worth it. Thanks Tom for all you do..

Just wanted to say great video! The information that you shared is severely underrated in the fishing industry! Some other tips on trolling for those of us who may not have that kicker and have an older 1980s 2 smoke 80hp (this guy here) is to use a drift sock to slow the boat down when trolling, or I simply put the trolling motor in the water to be used as resistance to slow the boat down about .4 mph sometimes.

Thank you once again Mr. Boley. I appreciate the time out from actual fishing that these video's cost you. FWIW you are the only fishing guy I keep coming back to view. First time using planer boards this past July I caught my first 28" Walleye, lost a bigger one and caught a few in the eating size. All in about 15' of water. Great tips in here!

@HuckThis1971 3 года назад

Headed back out to my spot today. 3 big plumpers. 20 to 24". All in 40 feet of water. Goes from 30 to 50 feet in no time. You can see it's layered rock on sonar. Smaller ones too. 10 to 17 inch in shallow portion. Thank you so much for your videos Tom! This is a structure that has even 80 foot depth between it and shoreline is like 200 feet away and is like a wall that drops. The Ottawa river is really special.

First video I've seen on trolling. Never fished with planer boards. I like fishing with wire. If you've never heard of Buck Perry I'd advise you to run right out and get his book, "Spoonplugging, Your Guide to Lunker Catches." Depth and speed are all you need. Thanks

@1175drh 3 года назад

Great Video I learned a lot. I have been trolling for years. I have only used planer boards with cranks and not spinners. So much with MN would let you use more than 1 line as I fish by myself. Hard to cover water with only 1 or 2 lines when I bring the wife.

@DRazz86 Год назад

I’d love to see a more basic for the absolute beginner at trolling. Do you have a video that goes onto that super basic rig set up, speed, depth etc. I’d love to have all your set up but I have the basics boat a few rods and the will to go catch some fish.

Great video details on trolling walleyes! Thanks to you, Monday I'm heading to Leech Lake for 4 days. Have a heavier 7ft rod with line counter reel and lead core line. Any point in using a planer board with MN 1 rod rules? Your Leech Lake video fishing humps was a great way to fish a new lake. Never much luck with crank baits so will use Lindy Rigs, 3/8 oz gold & silver jigs and Kalin swim baits. Anything else you would recommend?

@andrew5207 10 месяцев назад

I kayak and can fish 1 rod at once and have a basic 4inch Garmin. if you could only troll a single lure at a time what would you troll in the morning and in the evening in deep water and in shallow water? Do you have any videos that go into what to look for on your fish finder. I fish a bay that is 70 feet deep in the middle and in 70 feet i mark fish from the very bottom all the way up to the top. I dont really know how to read which are walleye, which are perch, etc. How to tell perch from walleye would be great.

Hey Tom, I make my own two hook crawler harnesses. Mainly used with a bottom bouncer but, we'll use it in a lot of different formats also. Usually about 2, 2& 1/2 ft mono leader, two hooks, anywhere from 5 to 8 beads, with the awesome spinner blades that are out there now. (Damn, the plades out there right now are freaking sick. Totally awesome). I should say, the beads and hooks are legit too! Anyways, fish Michigan waters mainly. I have a trip in late May, planned 😅for the UP. Any suggestions? Thanks man, enjoy your show always!😊

My local lake has a 30 foot basin. I can't mark a fish anywhere in it. All the eyes seem staged from 9 to 12 feet along steep drops. It's just different down here.

@hankvana2149 3 года назад

Opposite up here, precambrian shield lake with the main basin anywhere from 100 to 160 feet deep. Water is clear and walleyes are often down 30 - 40 feet in the secondary basins (60 - 70 feet). Was marking BIG fish cruising 20 feet off the bottom at 80 feet - no lake trout in the lake so I'm guessing they are pike, will try gang-trolls off of downriggers for them. Cheers!

@TheSaltblock 3 года назад

@@hankvana2149 that would be a blast. There's no water deeper than 50 feet (on the Mississippi river) near me. I bought a downrigger years back but soon realized they won't do me a bit of good here. Also our water is never comparably clear as yours.
