How to Fish Swimbaits for Summer Walleyes – Walleye Fishing



Swimbaits are one of the most versatile baits for all species, everything eats a swimbait. In this video I walk through the rod/reel, line, baits and cadence that I use when fishing this way. Ripping plastics excels in the summer period. If you haven’t had much confidence in plastics this video should really help you out.

  1. I've been looking for an informative, "fluff-free" fishing channel to learn how to be a better fisherman. This is a great channel. Thank you Tom.

    I fish Winnebago mostly, I think I'm going to give this a try. Any special time of year for swim baits?

  2. Aye man, any tips for fishing the great lakes, specifically Traverse city/sleeping bear national lakeshore. Most people just go out for salmon and lake trout/smallies, but i gotta believe that theres some walleye out there. You probably get alot of questions, so ill keep asking. Fish on!

  3. Love your vids and how instructional and informative you make them on top of fishing for Walleye
    I’ve been trying to target them in TableRock Lake in Missouri
    My son and I happened to find them around a bridge piling feeding on shad in 54 FOW
    The bite went to zilch after two weeks so now we’re trying other spots now to find the baitfish
    We are going to try your slip bobber tactics and see what we can hit
    We don’t have spotlock so will throw a marker and make drift attempts with the bobbers
    It’s a deep body of water lots of rock ledge shores falling off into really deep water
    Still Learning our Hummingbird and wanting to upgrade to a Helix 12

  4. Awesome! Very nice walleye! I live in NC and have taken a few trips into Canada on a fly in only secluded lake out of Earfalls. That was about 10 years ago and I used big swim baits and had great luck using them back then. First year I went it was still snowing on us in June and I almost froze to death being from North Carolina. The guys I went with all worked for Johnsonville.

  5. What are you looking for when you decide to use this technique? Is it time of year/weather driven or are you seeing certain baitfish, schools or structure on your electronics that you Target with this technique?

  6. If you watch most fishing shows it like they don’t want to fully explain what they’re doing so they don’t give away all their techniques or something. Thank you for explaining in depth different techniques. Sub’d
