#1 Way To Catch More Fish Ice Fishing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 янв 2020
- New lures are cool, the best custom ice rods are awesome but nothing catching more fish than being efficient on the ice! This video is not a highlight reel of big walleyes I caught this day. This video is about how you can go out on any lake while ice fishing and be more productive everyday. Covering water is much easier in a boat so in this video I talk about how you can maintain that same amount of mobility when ice fishing. Thanks for watching and I hope this video was useful to you!
Thanks for watching!

I am 67 yrs old. I must admit I am a little taken aback by modern fishing tech. I have seen the advancement of fish finders GPS tech cameras to now having it all on your ATV or other vehicles. I worry some about where this leads to. What is the next must-have tech to find fish? Will this continuing trend harm our fish populations? Do limits need to be reduced affecting the casual fisherman the most? Slot limits I understand but what is the survival rate of catch and release. From videos, it seems like some fishermen release hundreds of fish a year. We rented a wheelhouse last week 1st time I have fished in 1. Was very comfortable. We catch 3 slabs in 12 hrs. I am retired and would like to fish 2x a week now. Eat a few each month. A question to the pros, resorts, etc making a living from this, looking forward what can be done to protect the resource for future generations? More stocking? Higher fees? Wheelhouse Tax? Trail passes for ATVs/snowmobiles on public Lakes? Boats have to have them. I am not trying to blame anyone or thing I just am concerned.
I agree. I wonder about all those things. I have a vexilar, and can afford a live scope, but I don't want to take some of the mystery out of the experience.
This is exactly what I have been wanting to see from a pro! What excellent content!! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into these! I can not say enough good things about you and your videos!
Great video Tom. You are so full of useful information and give good advice thanks. Keep up the good work
Great info! Love videos that tell you how to catch more fish versus those that FOCUS more on hey look at me and how I can catch fish! You shared a wealth of information and it much appreciated! I would love to be guided by someone knowledgeable like you who likes to share your knowledge! Keep up the great work! You just added one more Lifer Subscriber! God Bless!
Thanks for the tips Tom. Your videos are always very informative and I can pick something new up every time. Keep up the good work!
Great video with super explanations and Humminbird references to help any fishermen of all levels. Thanks Tom!
needed this Tom!! Congrats on 20k! you deserve it bro!
Well said presentation. You laid out your offensive strategy like a coordinator. Plus you gave some fine oints on proper clothing which is vital. Especially at night on the ice. Good job.
I'm so glad I watched this. Thank you. I'm going out in the morning to try these tips. Awesome content brutha👍
I like the mobility and how you drill multiple holes at a time. Great video.
electronics is an absolute game changer. i bought a Helix 7 last winter and this year i boated around small ponds and mapped out small lakes. I caught a mess of specks in the dog days of summer and now after lakes on the hardwater!! i catch 75% of my fish only because i see them and can work the fish.
Great video!!
Tom,
Great video. Just in time for my trip next week to Lake of the Woods. Thanks again for the seminar at Warner’s Dock. Trying to set a date in June for our fishing trip.
Great job walking through the basics of being mobile and getting on the fish! Thanks!
Quality video Tom, any Ice Angler can learn something from this!
Great information to know and make things simple, few things I didn’t know like you mentioned makes big difference from what I used to do. Gonna try your advices the next time I go out!!

Great video, would love to pick your brain for suggestions to deck out my new Snowdog for mobility. Tight lines and keep the videos coming, great content!
Love your progressions through the 4 seasons,your videos are extremely interesting. I know your from Wisconsin and noticed your registration for your atv has expired might want to get that addressed before you get pinched (lol). Keep them coming.
Good video full of fishing advice. Thanks
Key to efficiency for me is using my Humminbird 698ci side scanner set up to find out if fish are in the area. (I just can't afford an upgrade to a Helix yet). You can scan a 100 foot diameter circle in about 20 seconds, then move on to the next hole 200 feet away. The transducer is attached to the end of a 1 1/4" pvc pipe that runs through another 2" pvc that is attached to a 1x4x12" base that sits on the ice, straddling the hole. The transducer cord runs up inside the pvc and a handle is attached to the top of the pipe. Drop the pipe down the hole, slowly spin the handle and scan the area, watching the screen for blips of fish. I do appreciate the advice on drilling the grid first, and having your gear handy at all times. This is the best fishing site on RUclips!!!
Sweet video man learned a lot! 👌👍
You always have great informational videos. Nice work! I’d love to see you do a collaboration with Scott Hoover fishing. It’d be great to see you on Saginaw Bay too!!
Great video
Lots of useful info
Tight lines tom love you're content I'm a NODAK crazy walleye guy
Good video! I plan on getting out there to get some ice fishing videos out
Awesome video Tom!
Thomas, man your living the American dream, you got this stuff down to a science, you got every tool of the trade and techniques of the top champions, Thomas honestly you should be on TV, your the number one fishing educater teacher out there , no doubt,,your turning us into little clonies of your teaching,,you must here us screaming fish on all over the world were ever there's walleye.,,,thank you
Well thanks for the comment and for watching.
warm and comfortable is KEY
Great job Tom !! Im haven't done that much ice fishing do to the fact of locating fish. Your set up is crazy cool!! Using your GPS and Wave Points got me fired up to duplicate your set up . My problem is that I'm from north central Iowa and my fishing grounds / wave points are around Grand Rapids, MN. I've never fished Wisconsin might be giving you a call this winter.
Friggin AWESOME!
Alot Of Great ImFo!! This Guy is good!!
Garmin striker 4 is an absolute awesome addition if your a budget fisherman it is universal for regular boat and ice fishing and quite portable it comes with flasher and a regular sonar with A-scope it's about 199 and works with regular boat transducer for ice fishing just use a pool floaty to keep it level💪 stay safe out there.... If you're looking for a little more there's the striker 4 plus CV with ice transducer makes things less of a hassle and has a bigger screen and a little more features that one is 244👍 good luck getting one not on backorder they are HOT
Great video!
First time viewer. Nice job.
Those Fenwick ice rods are so nice man.
great video! thanks! I'd love to see more electronics' videos. Do you do anything special to keep your spots marked or organized?
Tom, thanks for your great videos. Very informative and I'm sure a lot of guys like me appreciate the work you put into them. For minnows/minnow heads do you use salted minnows, dead minnows, or just live minnows you threw in the puck? Any preference on minnow type...shiners, large fatheads, suckers etc?
Thanks man.. live on a lake over here in Michigan.. going out here in a min.. just got the attachment for my drill to hook my augerl up to. 😂 Ice is over a foot thick so ya know, hand auger was quite the workout 😫
Underwear, leg long johns, fuzzy pyjamas, track pants & then overalls (snowpants). T shirt, long sleeve without hood (or 2), hoodie and coat. That'll get you through most cold conditions. Worst thing you'll have to do is strip a few layers.
Great info THANKS !!!!
I'm still looking for a perfect walleye ice rod. I wish someone would make a 42 inch ml that loads great.
Hey Tom I’m trying to use my helix 9 gn2 just for gps on my atv too. Had some questions you don’t need ducer plug in do you? And is there a setting I need to be in gps won’t work for me
Great presentation.suscribed
thank you Tom, will me out as a rookie with ice fishing.
Since my wheeler only has electric start ( no pull rope).. I got a separate battery for my map/graph..(lithium) mounted on the rack.. good luck this year and stay safe
Love the video, What kind of Rod rack to you have attached to the tote. Really like the efficiency
Holey moley it's tom boley!!! Yay!!!!
I don’t have my helix set up on my wheeler but I do have navionics on my phone so I will drive the outline I want to drill watching my phone then double back and drill the holes. Pretty efficient and after the second time over the area have a pretty decent trail to walk and fish the holes
Shukran?!
Let me put a little bug in your ear!?
I find the effort you made to Show us how not to hate ice fishing phenomenal.
I crave fish this time of year.
You guide novices like me? If so, how much per day? You’re an incredible fisherman!
Bait pucks are huge. Gotta keep your hands dry, main thing. After you catch a fish or reach in the bait bucket make sure to dry them off before you put your gloves on. Also not convinced drilling a ton of holes on a spot is necessary. Maybe if your fishing a flat but if structure a couple would work np.
PSA... Please pop a cover on those auger blades. When you were waving your arms in the intro I was just waiting for you to swipe that thing. Or slip and fall into it. I know, takes too much time and you're the only one there and you'll be careful. Last words describing most accidents are, "Seemed like a good idea at the time."
Other than that, thanks again for the content Tom! always greatly appreciated.
Wish we had safe enough ice around here to actually get out where I want. A lot of my spots are boat only unfortunately.
I'm very interested in the primaloft pants, Tom. I'm 5'7" and 170 lbs. What size would you recommend?
Thank you for this video Tom. I think something that frustrates the “Average Joe” is that we aren’t afforded the luxuries of the Pros who can go fish Devils Lake, Lake of the Woods, Red, Mille Lacs, and Leech every weekend. We just want someone who can go to a small lake and can give us the best advice they know to catch fish. I know this video is on Mille Lacs but it can be more difficult (in my opinion) catching walleye or decent pike in smaller lakes (on average) than these bigger name lakes and I feel like pros over look the average Joe who has kids and can only fish weekends. Tips are solid and thanks for the consideration.
Thanks. Basically all my videos which aren't titled mille lacs are on the smaller lakes of northern Wisconsin. These are the lakes I spend most of my time on and walleyes are not extremely abundant. One thing I've learned is when you get decent on find I'll mg and catching on these tougher lakes it becomes a cakewalk on the big name lakes. Thanks for watching
I have that same backpack. Love it! Was doing great until a bear ripped into it in Canada last summer
Where can i find walleye in Minnesota/metro/twin cities?
Off track a bit but..what are the goggles you're wearing for goggle eyes?
What hoodie is that ?
I have been trying to fish
I agree you need to be mobile and hole hop to an extent but videos like this one have spawned an entire group of fishermen that will absolutely swiss cheese a lake or pond to the point of making it nearly impossible for anyone else to fish without fishing in or near one of their holes and then they get pissed because you are. You do not need 100 holes to catch a lot of fish. Otherwise Tom I love your videos and I agree you are one of the top RUclips fisherman out there.
hey tom i have a marcum flasher and most of the lakes i drive on with my truck, would my best bet to pay for a navionics subscription and use the app on my phone if i want to find spots?
Yes. I believe it's like 10 bucks or something. Definitely the easiest route. Or pick up a helix 5 gps sonar combo. Prob 300 bucks. Paired with a lakemaster card and you have an all in one unit.
I Tom, really like your show. I fish walleye today, it dans good, i hole hopping and me to i am not patient in every hole... But the problem is my rod is not enougth powerfull, not enougth backbone...my question is what is the length and the power of the rod that you use in this show? I know the brand, but mot the rest!! Thanks a lot!
Here in saint Laurent river i fish deep and have some currant, si i fish whit some lure close to 1/2oz.
Thank a lot To help me!!
Tight line!
I just had a seizure reading this
Why call it a "mud flat" when it shows on your fish finder around a 10 foot difference in depth that you drilled all over ?
Do use braided line if so what kind ? And do you use a leader and what length do you go ?
Also what rod?
Personally, I don't like braided line when I am outside in the winter because it seems to collect more water and freezes up more than mono.
Do you tie right to the kastmaster or tie to the clip that comes with the lure for walleye?
If they have a split ring u can direct tie or use snap. No split ring use snap. I always use snap for easy bait chamging with cold hands
This guy looks like he's gone ice fishing a couple of times. Wow, that's a great setup! So I doubt this happens often but what if you just drilled all of those holes and some clown comes by sees a couple of them and sets up besides you and starts using the holes you drilled? I've only gone ice fishing a couple of times and love it but the last time I went my friend took us to a spot where it seemed to be quite popular as people started setting up about 10 -15 feet from us. Some were so noisy with kids running around it just ruined a nice peaceful fishing trip.
Just want to go fishing
How long do you wait to mark a fish before hole hopping?
A minute
Tom, I just shared this video with a bunch of people! One question I’m getting back is regarding your storage boxes on your rig! Are the aftermarket or did you cobble things together?
Hey, sounds like a subject for a new video eh?!
Bolted them to the back rack. Just a standard tote you can buy alot of places
Do you just bolt it using u-bolts?
You need a tv show, can you tell me how to transfer my autochart zero lines data to my helix ice 7????
What size of hyper rattles do you use??
2 inch in the winter mostly
Says...middle of the day with a fifteen foot tall shadow in the opening, lol.
To me the #1 way is to go to a lake that has lots of big hungry walleye.
Wat rods are u using
Looks like a fenwick elite tech ice.
@@aaronmartin760 ok thankyou
Dude, you're young, so I'll give you some advice now while there's still time for you to benefit from it. That's the same auger I have, so I know what it weighs. Standing clear up on that 4-wheeler like that while drilling a gazillion holes will destroy your back. I doubt it gives you enough of an efficiency advantage to be worth it. Get down, step around. The mount on that graph can be turned around so that you can get the same targeting advantage by just drilling at the front of the vehicle, using bungie cords or something to secure the auger between holes, and NOT do all that bending and twisting with that heavy auger.
Some folks here might call me a wuss for saying that, but you'll get much more out of life if you're ergonomically smart and take care of your body.
Good advice! Hope he read it.
How to find more fish: Tom boley
Me: Looks at phone trying use Google maps but has no data......... Fuck it let's go
Tip number 1 get a flasher
Tip number 2 tip with minnows
#1 way to get more views. More videos of Shelby catching fish. Just saying... Lol
The new Aaron Wiebe!
Hardly. This guy's way too vanilla and boring to be compared to AW. Almost nodded off watching this video. Lol! Not telling me anything I already haven't figured out on my own. I'd like to see this guy try this stuff in -30C weather up here in Manitoba.
Isn't that like 0 degrees haha
Great in theory but this is nearly impossible to do in Saskatchewan Canada. Freeze your butt off!
very good presentation. i wish you did more on clothes you wear under the bibs. alot of guys over dress sweat then get very cold in the cold. i myself prefer mickey mouse boots long socks and shorts that way i dont sweat and get very cold. i really like your rod holder systen . its fast and keeps the rods ready also un tangled
auger blades are sharp people do not do what he did and bang your hand any where near them stuff can and will go wrong.!!@!! never put your hands where he did!!!!
Is it “Mill-Le-Laks” or “Mill-laks”
Mill ax
