I enjoy the vids where Mitchell is sharp with his comebacks to Toms wise cracks. My favorite Mitchell quote was the vid a couple years back when he renamed Tom " Tickle Tail Tommy". Love the 2 buddies in the boat ribbing each other at every opportunity! Keep up the great work guys!
Teaching my young children how to fish got me hooked on bobber fishing. I have since been working on perfecting the technique, trying to make it as safe, easy, and effective as possible so anyone can do it. I have been working on coming up with some systems as well and learning where I can. Thanks for the video and information!
Tom you came up with the hat cam and got the bobber down while Mitchell was having technical difficulties! And he had the nerve to tell you that you looked silly with it. Tom for the save! LOL!
I fish Walter's exclusively Spring and summer. I went back to Slippery Bob's last summer....and fell back in love. I think it has to do with feeling like a kid again watching the float.....I don't have the electronics on my boat, so I enjoy the rush of watching the bobber dissappear. Great vid Pal.
My favorite part in any of Tom’s videos is when he mentions my state of North Dakota. This Father’s Day I will be fishing Devils Lake hopefully 🙏 landing a 30” Walter
How do u think the precision shooter rod would work for pitching jigs/ plastics in the winter? I need to build or buy something w oversized guides to prevent or slow down icing up. Usually use 1/8 or 1/4 jig Thanks
One again thank you for the great video! You guys never disappoint! One question I need to know is if you were in 12’ or so, and the fish were tighter to the bottom l,how far above the fish do you set your bobber stop?
The weight between the bobber and the swivel was interesting. That's why it casts so well. You didn't show how you chose your depth or how you knew how far off the bottom you were. The boat and the toys!! I'm jealous!
Thanks for this Tom! Just bought a bunch of these. Quick question...what know are you using? Looks like some kind of clinch knot, but I can't tell because you do it so quickly. Thanks in advance for the help. :)
Great video. I have actually never used a slip bobber but I am going to try it this weekend. How do you know how deep to set the bobber just but guess at first? You want it to sit right above the weeds?
Would love to see you come out to the Columbia River system. Some big fish out here and I feel like even the best walleye anglers out here could learn a thing or two from you.
Have you ever noticed bite windows and what do you do in the slow bite period to catch fish? For example this has happened numeruous times where fishing is really tough then all of a sudden the light switch is flipped and the bite is on fire for an hr then dies off again. If I am moving spot to spot trying to pick off the one or two active fish then there is a chance ill miss that hot bite window. Im just curious what your thoughts are for this occasion.
Does the 1/4 oz and 1/2oz bobbers designate the weight they are designed to hold up? So say a guy had 1/4 oz jig with 1/8oz weight above the swivel, would that mean 1/4oz bobber wouldn’t work?
Tom, the first thing I noticed in this video is WHY are you still using a hand winch and not a dratto?? They would work so awesome with that sweet rig of yours! Love the video as always and keep up the great fishing!
Good video and I like the Kalin’s bobber kit …BUT the slip bobber stop in the kit makes too big of a knot to go through the eyelet of your recommended slip bobber rod: Two Brothers Innovations - Elliott 76MLF
I have two 1/4 oz kits in hand. No beads are included. No problem for me as I have plenty. Many customers might not have beads on hand. I suggest they be included in the kit.
Product development idea: some kind of slip bobber that has a twist-to-attach / twist-to-detach function so that you don't have to cut the entire rig off and re rig. Just twist, off goes the bobber, and you can rig whatever you want.
Tom You never did give us a review on the carbon reel You been running it for almost a full open water season let’s hear some feedback pls I’m going to buy some new slip bobbers and use them in ND
How does everyone solve the issue of these kind of bobber knots from sliding freely on braid? Pulled it as tight as I could with 2 pliers and still slips
Been running slips in michigan for awhile now and i'm hooked, thanks tom. Please keep the head snaps back to the FFS out of video if your gonna split screen. I'm not bitching but i gotta say i like fishing videos better than video games.
Really liked the step-up ladder on your trailer making it super simple getting into the boat to launch from the trailer. Again, no mention of the lake or what state, city town, etc. I don't know why, but very disappointing.
@@lloydbeebe3716 I have a $3500 boat that has no sonar and catch 50" muskies on the fly. I just enjoy watching anglers push the limits and reading comments of people like yourself complaining how life aint fair cause you can't afford mid class $50000 toy.
@@dm9103 lol. Keyboard tough guy. No one was complaining. I was laughing. Id hope them guys with fancy boats could catch a fish. My house is paid for bud. While you prolly still live at daddy’s. I could afford a better boat but it’s a waist of money and takes all the fun out of fishing. But keep waisting your life reading comments on RUclips bud.
Hey Tom, I had to stop the video before you even got out of the boat..... I would call that too much of a "Power Unload" off Trailer..... If you've ever seen how they pour the concrete and then lay it in the water for us to launch our boats, it's a long and expensive process. We need to do better..... I scold the people who Power Load and Power Unload, and you KNOW better.... so maybe you need to do a public Service announcement condeeming Power Loading and Power Unloading..... let's not be lazy and just get the tires wet and get the trailer down in the water a bit more... Thank You
18 minutes into the video, 11 "Mitchells". Then you acknowledge the fact that some people prefer videos where you don't refer to the cameraman once very 90 seconds. This used to be the Tom Boley channel, where he would sometimes bring his awesome girlfriend. Now, it's some guy and "Mitchell" go fishing...and no, that's not nearly as entertaining. For all intents and purposes, the cameramen should not exist, to the viewer of a video...that is how professional cameramen operate. You seem to think your videos used to be terrible when, in fact, the overall quality of content has declined since you started making the vidoes for "Mitchell", instead of the "viewer". Final "Mitchell" count - 16, proving even you get sick of hearing it.
We definitely ain't professionals. Just a couple buddies in the boat filming a subpar fishing show. Sometimes the videos are good sometimes they suck. Either way I'm having fun.
@@TomBoley - I'm just one viewer, but I tend to think I'm not the only one that isn't enjoying the content as much with you constantly referring to someone we can't see in the video. I mean, if the point of the videos is just for "you" to have fun, that's one thing. If you're trying to appeal to a broad audience, including discerning viewers who value true production quality from a high-level content creator, you really should consider going back to not saying the cameraman's name 16 freakin' times in a single video. You are the "talent" in your videos and it would be to your benefit to emphasize that; it's brand-building 101.
I'm just one viewer, but I'd have to think only one person that's watched this video has counted, or even paid attention to the number of times he said "Mitchell." I'm here to learn about tactics and watch a guy catch walleyes. Not critique on how many times he said the cameraman's name. I have to admit I never even noticed it. Some folks just gotta be a 🤡. Another great video, Tom!
I, (for one), really like the vibe of you and Mitchel out in the boat having fun fishing. If someone doesn't like it, they can go watch John Gillespie...
I enjoy the vids where Mitchell is sharp with his comebacks to Toms wise cracks. My favorite Mitchell quote was the vid a couple years back when he renamed Tom " Tickle Tail Tommy". Love the 2 buddies in the boat ribbing each other at every opportunity! Keep up the great work guys!
Mitchell is what makes this series of videos seem like an actual fishing trip with your buddies.
The intro to this vid is awesome!! Music from the radio, then just the process of going fishing!!
Left a like for the first 2 minutes and 25 seconds of the video. Very peaceful
Good work Mitchell
love the starting, watching you launch the boat solo
Teaching my young children how to fish got me hooked on bobber fishing. I have since been working on perfecting the technique, trying to make it as safe, easy, and effective as possible so anyone can do it. I have been working on coming up with some systems as well and learning where I can. Thanks for the video and information!
That's the coolest bobber kit set-up I've seen!! Ordered mine in both sizes a few days ago from ACME- Great job!
Nice! Stoked to see how you like it.
I Crack up at you riding Mitchell! Great video showing explicit details on slip bobbering. Keep it going Tom!
Loved that start to this video!
Mitchell's creativity does it again!
Thank you for watching! Mitchell gets creative!
Tom you came up with the hat cam and got the bobber down while Mitchell was having technical difficulties!
And he had the nerve to tell you that you looked silly with it.
Tom for the save!
LOL!
I’m excited to try the new jigs Tom. I’ve been big on the Kalins crappie jigs for slip bobbers and those seem very similar just a lot beefier.
I fish Walter's exclusively Spring and summer. I went back to Slippery Bob's last summer....and fell back in love. I think it has to do with feeling like a kid again watching the float.....I don't have the electronics on my boat, so I enjoy the rush of watching the bobber dissappear. Great vid Pal.
Oh man... Nothing better that looking back and realizing you bobber is down!
I went out today, fully intending to do some float fishing. But the crankbait bite was insane. Don’t mess with success!
My favorite part in any of Tom’s videos is when he mentions my state of North Dakota.
This Father’s Day I will be fishing Devils Lake hopefully 🙏 landing a 30” Walter
Great bobber! Saves time and eliminates rigging frustration.
Sure does!
How do u think the precision shooter rod would work for pitching jigs/ plastics in the winter? I need to build or buy something w oversized guides to prevent or slow down icing up. Usually use 1/8 or 1/4 jig
Thanks
I probably missed it, but are you using braid on your main line?
Also those style of sinkers, where you finding those at
Tomorrow starts the trek to Ontario to go springtime walleye fishing. Thanks for another great tip!
Good Video. What were you using for a main line?
Tommy with your little video game locator thingy and a slip bobber you are the official king of walleye fishing
Great video thanks for explaining how to setup the new slipbobber setup 👍👍
No problem.... Thank you for watching
Thanks for the great video. I will have to buy a couple of your bobber systems. Keep up with the great videos.
Great vid guys. Keep to you Tom. Thanks for all the fishing help.
Appreciate you watching!
Love this technique of fishing. Will look for this in stores!!
Could you use a loop knot on the jig or best to cinch up on the jig with a knot?
I always use clinch knot but may not matter
Love the opening! I was a Thil wobble bobber guy, I was just converted.
Great video Tom! And thank you for buying an American made truck!
One again thank you for the great video! You guys never disappoint! One question I need to know is if you were in 12’ or so, and the fish were tighter to the bottom l,how far above the fish do you set your bobber stop?

I'm a biologist, that was indeed a tapeworm. Tapeworms in fish are common and the fish are still safe to eat as long as they're cooked.
How do you know someone is a biologist? Wait 5min they'll tell you😅
The bobber system looks good. Seeing as you have their ear get them to make the eyes of their jigs more durable
Did enjoy the video but just wondering how close to the bottom you set the lure ?
4 feet up
Thanks for this Tom! Just bought a bunch of these. Quick question...what know are you using? Looks like some kind of clinch knot, but I can't tell because you do it so quickly. Thanks in advance for the help. :)
Great video. I have actually never used a slip bobber but I am going to try it this weekend. How do you know how deep to set the bobber just but guess at first? You want it to sit right above the weeds?
That trailer tongue step ladder/pole looks like a GREAT idea! Is it available as an aftermarket addition?
This one comes standard on warrior trailers
How do I get my hands on the slip bobber here in Ontario
Would love to see you come out to the Columbia River system. Some big fish out here and I feel like even the best walleye anglers out here could learn a thing or two from you.
What is that mega live mount? @tomboley
When you talk about using the lighter slip bobber and jigs in shallow water, and the heavier ones for deeper water, what do you consider "shallow"?
Have you ever noticed bite windows and what do you do in the slow bite period to catch fish? For example this has happened numeruous times where fishing is really tough then all of a sudden the light switch is flipped and the bite is on fire for an hr then dies off again. If I am moving spot to spot trying to pick off the one or two active fish then there is a chance ill miss that hot bite window. Im just curious what your thoughts are for this occasion.
Is there a reason you prefer a string bobber stop vs a rubber bobber stop? Love me some bobber downs!
Good info. There are only few lakes in Texas that have walleye.
Hey, Tom… what knot are you using?
Clinch knot
great video and great fishing guys!! have a good day and week. hi Mitchell and tom.!! god bless.
Tom, I watched The shallow warm water bay on the Walleye Now app and I was wondering if you can identify the species of fish using Mega live?
Does the 1/4 oz and 1/2oz bobbers designate the weight they are designed to hold up? So say a guy had 1/4 oz jig with 1/8oz weight above the swivel, would that mean 1/4oz bobber wouldn’t work?
1/4 oz bobber = 1/4 oz weight and 1/16 or 1/18 oz jig
Tom, the first thing I noticed in this video is WHY are you still using a hand winch and not a dratto?? They would work so awesome with that sweet rig of yours! Love the video as always and keep up the great fishing!
Don't need a Drotto with a bunk trailer, just a waste of money.
Warrior voids warranty if you inatalll drotto
I had one and got rid of it.
Call me stupid, but how do u quickly set up depth as u move around? Or to casting to different depths?
Just uploaded a walleye now video to the app on that exact topic!
What are your setting for mega live?
How deep would you fish a 1/4 oz kit? I feel like I've been using to heavy of gear...
1/4 under 15ft, 1/2 over 15ft
This fellow Wisconsinite loves your rig!
Warrior boats are the best.
How do you rig up your bobber setup? When I knee replacement heals in a few weeks. I want to go chase some walleye with slip bobbers.
Go to 12:33 in the video
Did you watch the video Todd?
Good video and I like the Kalin’s bobber kit …BUT the slip bobber stop in the kit makes too big of a knot to go through the eyelet of your recommended slip bobber rod: Two Brothers Innovations - Elliott 76MLF
I have two 1/4 oz kits in hand. No beads are included. No problem for me as I have plenty. Many customers might not have beads on hand. I suggest they be included in the kit.
Weird, my kits came with beads
Good to know. The bead guy was probably out fishing the day my packs were assembled.
Tom, where can you find that package for slip bobbering?

That boat is so sick

Sold out anyone know where I can get one of these kits?
A master at his craft!
Remind’s me a lot of the Thill wobble bobber……?
why wouldnt you take the tape worm off the fish before you tossed it back?
what size swivel is it?
do one from the bank of a small lake lol ive been trying forever with no luck at all. catching bass but no walleye..
Man that’s a cool boat
where are you fishing? im based in south eastern wisconsin
Northern WI
@@TomBoley scotts lake area?
What’s up with the twin live setup on the bow
When I drop both lives down I just shock the fish to the surface
@@TomBoley😂
Wish Tom would join us this next weekend on lake of the woods, canada side. Id even pay..
Tom
You never did give us a review on the carbon reel
You been running it for almost a full open water season let’s hear some feedback pls
I’m going to buy some new slip bobbers and use them in ND
What exactly is the bead for?
Stop the knot from going through bobber
Make a video with Mitchell fishing on camera and Tom behind the camera!!
Could be interesting
Great stuff Tom, could you send me some tape worms, i need to work on my girlish figure as well!!!😂😂Tight lines you guys💪🎣
Tape worms are extra
How does everyone solve the issue of these kind of bobber knots from sliding freely on braid? Pulled it as tight as I could with 2 pliers and still slips
Use two rubber stops in series
How deep do you need to be before you go to the 1/2 ounce kit?
15+
Tommy lad, come find us on the west side of the chip next week
I am a biologist, couldn’t really see if it was a tapeworm or not but if it was segmented, it probably was🦅
Man those kits sold out fast !
What steps are those
Came with the trailer from warrior.
What a boat!
Wait its been a while since i watched one of your videos, no more alumacraft??
Been running slips in michigan for awhile now and i'm hooked, thanks tom. Please keep the head snaps back to the FFS out of video if your gonna split screen. I'm not bitching but i gotta say i like fishing videos better than video games.
The old guys in ND need to get with the times…Tom wasn’t joking about bottom bouncers 😂
What a fuckin mint boat and trailer set up
Warrior makes a damn good looking rig
Nothing worse than threading old style bobbers while the mosquitoes are hammering you. Thankyou!!!
Nice

Can't mention the name of small lakes. It's for respect for the fish
The fact that you're asking that question is disappointing.
Mark doesn’t like to do his own work
But can I get the bobber at Scheels yet!?
Some locations I believe
LMAOO SPLIT BOOBER
The slip bobbers are sold out 😢
Woah, showing the launch? Great now that 15,300 acre system is gonna get blown up!
