Smashing Walleye | Ice Fishing

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Some how this video went out at midnight when it was supposed to go out at 4:00pm :). Cheers everyone!!

[@joshlampe3458]

Another great video, Clay, we'll take the early release! Sorry to see what happened with your camera, hopefully it's just that battery lock and nothing more. That kind of stuff happens to everyone, and I loved seeing how you dealt with it. 'What's done is done; think about anything I could've done differently, then move on'. Bravo and looking forward to the next one!

[@coyakbrian3411]

Smitty sled (ski's under your sled) is a game changer for pulling by hand especially on the snow. Great start to the ice season...

[@ivenpittman4543]

Like that Members get a early preview! Can't wait to get out ice fishing these days off. Awesome Video! Thanks! 👍👍

[@dashybaby255]

Clayton, You could post a video of absolutely nothing and we would still like and subscribe! You are the man! Thanks for so much great content over the years! Road to 100K!!!

[@steveon12]

when you can make out the tail fin on livescope, you know its gonna be good. great video Clayton!

[@chrisb5023]

God we need some cold weather.. this bug is killing me!!! Nice day on the ice Clayton!!

[@kevinmeilleur5282]

Exciting video. Again!! 94.4K subscribers! One of the best channels for walleye, lake trout, pike out there! More camp, catch and cook coming this year???? Love them!!

[@jerrygallegos8466]

Clayton big fan for many years. Thanks for the awesome content . It’s going to be real hard for me to see you an Eskimo. There’s nothing wrong with Eskimo but I’m Otter Guy I’m so used to seeing you in The ottter Huts Otter hoodies. Talk about culture shock.😂

[@konrads9276]

Thanks for another video, Clayton! Nice fish!

[@robkreutzwieser9162]

Great video Clayton. Watching it at work in the Yukon can’t wait to get back SK and get some fishing in on days off. Keep them coming.

[@robertmaloney567]

Clayton I reached out to CTV about your channel hope you don't mind. You should be getting a call from a reporter. Good promotion for you 😊

[@barnettv]

Dang I wish that would happen to me lol

[@Justin_Mooney11]

that’s awesome man 👊🏽

[@dylanmounsey7515]

Are you kidding CTV is woke fake news lol communist news

[@lukebjorklund9534]

Should do a video on your set up for an overnight or even just your everyday set up, love the video!

[@konopelskifarms]

This video helps all us other fisherman that knock things over and break them or drop stuff down the hole feel much better. Everyone has their donkey moments Clayton so you are in good company. Great video

[@luketw2818]

Early ice is the most special time of year. No trucks. No rookies! No drunks flying up and down the lake

[@ImKNY1234]

Excellent livescope footage. I like how you utilize the forward view. I used to mostly use down view if I was in the shack and not searching. Been using forward view now this year because of your videos.

[@kevinstromquist5954]

nice day of fishing Clayton, excellent average size and some nice table fare to bring home

[@dalbert4991]

Nice! Looked like an enjoyable day! Prime Time!!

[@billsutorius2753]

I really enjoyed watching that video! Thanks Clayton 👍🎣 🇺🇸

[@tchadoutdoors]

Oh yeah!! Get it Clayton! Love it! Look at them Donkeys!

[@NickLindner]

I’m going to bed, but you know I’m watching in the morning!

[@ShadowBassin]

🙋‍♂🎣😴

[@kevinteal247]

Great vid man keep it up love watching 🤙

[@matts6768]

MN Matt... Great day fishing. Camera still works.. that does happen. Talk about fish house safety on breezy days.. great video keep them coming...

[@marts1q]

Another great video Clayton! I can’t wait to get on the ice. Mild weather here in southern Ontario.

[@shawncayer1233]

Looks like you are having fun.

[@travisyoung7438]

I like to play it safe and just watch all your videos don’t want to miss anything 😊

[@heartproblems2727]

Great to see you back on the ice. Can't wait to see you hammer a monster Laker. ...😅

[@sonnenburgoutdoors]

Thanks so much!! Finally out today in Northern Ontario. 4 inch +. Sure felt good and caught fish too!!👍👍🐟🐟

[@NicholasLoan]

Nice feesh mang. Kool music at the end I enjoyed it. You always catch a pile of feesh. We still in open water season in upstate NY prime time for Walter's we been catching 40-50 Walleye every time out dirt shallow

[@michaelgates4917]

That’s a super slick idea running the livescope in forward view facing the top of the drop off. I’ll definitely try that this season 🎣

[@mikevang1102]

Love your videos. love that you have your livescope showing the live action. please keep it up.

[@handyhutch73]

I’m going to show them in my next video too as I forgot my tools to install them on Monday lol the new Eskimo hub hook ups

[@sethmcleod26]

Hey Clayton! I knew you would find em soon. First week ice was good we fished 12-15 ft, slow action so we decided to try between mainland and an island not far from our trucks. 22ft down to 27ft near a drop off. We hammered them big time. We wrote a mark for each fish 32! 4 hrs of fishin 32 walleye(excluding pike,perch,burb,sauger and white fish) it was truly spectacular day on the hard ice with the boys!

[@GillsNReelsFishing]

Finicky fooler… gotta look into that. Great video Clayton 👍

[@jimnummerdor9687]

Great job as always Clayton

[@Fish_Bait]

Prime time again awesome, sorry to see that little unfortunate luck with your camera, I was happy to see you finished your day though cheers and tightlines 👍

[@gregporth356]

That was some pretty crazy action. Thankfully the " Wreck" wasn't worse, but it was entertaining to.🤭 Life is good🍻

[@mattbrott7127]

How dare you make us watch all your videos for your tips. HAHAH!!!! Great video once again, as always!

[@jfranthefishinman]

The under the ice shots are so good!

[@venomxmuskwa3985]

I like how you do your fishing trips solo and do all the recording by yourself as well, I do some solo fishing trips as well and go for a few hours or half a day

[@zacstoklasa]

Lovin the new Eskimo gear! Glad you’re not on the otter and clam jam anymore!! Side note, how the heck do you get your panoptics to look that good still out 100+ feet! Amazing! Tight lines! 👍🏼

[@patgingras5974]

That sound you made when your camera fell definitely has to make the blooper reel haha

[@Kaine.m.v]

I appreciate the early drop my man! Thanks again for another awesome video 👌

[@banjohappy]

Tip. Put a piece of garden hose or curved plastic pipe on your sled rope to make it easier on your hands when dragging.

[@patriciashi1810]

Hi Clayton, would you like to show how to hook minnows on the ACME Jack-Knife Jig? Thank you. (at 33:18)❤

[@shawngros9477]

Clayton, glad to see you're actually human. Breaking cameras, getting a wind blown hub, and catching fish under 30". 😂. As always love the show. Keep up the good work. Stay safe. I might finally get to get out in a month 😢😢

[@steveneddy9492]

Put a one foot piece of garden hose on the rope for Sled. Makes it easier on the hands pulling it FOR SURE..

[@EXILE_OUTDOORS]

Awesome , great video as always!

[@treadheadpete4770]

Nice day on the ice!

[@ChrisLaPrise]

Hey Clayton, what winter boots do you use? Likely not the only one that could use that info 😊

[@AdventuresoftheLandNorth]

These videos are depressing as I here with a zero chance on getting on the ice any time soon. Great video as usual.

[@adamfeldberg9521]

Great job as always clayton. Do you have any plans for Whitefish or Burbot videos? There isn't a lot of videos specifically targeting them out there, especially with underwater footage.

[@brendonduhamel8353]

Hey Clayton, big fan from southeast sask.Curious where to find that glow lure charger as well as the heat hog heater seen in other videos. Tight lines!

[@woodsfamily1986]

great vid! cant wait for more lakers!!!! also i feel like if u had the normal door it wouldn’t have buckled like that and slid on the ice like u were planning….not poking fun! bad luck with the cam!

[@normbutler6627]

good job

[@patrickkirschbaum1872]

Hey Clayton, I love your videos. What is your favorite brand/model of ice cleats?

[@patgingras5974]

I can’t wait to get the finicky fooler rockin’ again this year

[@joshlampe3458]

Cool to see you use the 450xd, what do you think Clay? Got the 450xd this year to use as my main for ice camping in cold weather. I have a 650xd, but it's a lot more to haul around than the 450xd and when it gets below zero (f) with wind, it takes a lot more to heat. I have a quickfish 3i limited made from the plaid XD fabric that I bring along for storage and to move with anyway, so I'm not crunched for space as I use it for storage and cooking when I'm back at base. What are you going to camp out of this year?

[@Jeeg_Quebec_CAN]

What a bite that got going there! PRIMETIMEPRIMETIMEPRIMETIME!! 🤪🎣

[@jeffrivnie5519]

There's people who don't watch every episode 😮?? Pretty sure that's one of those legends of yore, right up there with Nessie and Yeti🤔🤔... Booked in for the second February weekend with my son. Really looking forward to some quality "donkey time", with Cap'n Slayer..

[@jasonfountain1935]

Clayton I was thinking about buying that chair you’re using. Is it comfortable for all day sitting/fishing in a day house?

[@sotabear6334]

Great video Clay, finally gonna be able to get in some hard water action this next weekend here in MN. Headed to the big V in the arrowhead region.

[@TheEzrider403]

Nice !

[@stevenradford3185]

Love it. just going to man up and move over, no more famous words have been said. My family hates those words.

[@thaddeuskeyes3360]

What's the best size and species of minnow u use for walleyes, Clayton?

[@ericverkuilen8313]

Hey Clayton, Wondering what your thoughts were on that Bluetti that you tried on one of your past videos Thanks Eric

[@theonlydang3709]

you should build a smitty sled, so much easier to move around. great video

[@joshuawillett850]

Why did u switch to eskimo?

[@bradm4493]

At 5:51 what is that marking right above the drop off? Is that some sort of interference or a school of suspended fish?

[@Stykoutdoors]

What’s your go to ice fishing jig/rattle bait

[@samgeice2013]

How much ice do you like Clayton to ice camp on I know it's 6 to 8 inches now on my local lake

[@tararussell1115]

The ice winder made by the same company that made the original side winder spoon?

[@jameschapman7996]

just wondering if u can in one of your videos explain bottom bouncing best tips for that

[@jannyday1250]

You switched to Garmin with the LVS34. Do you like it better?

[@EskimoIceFishingGear]

The road to 100k... 💪What a day!

[@slabslayer258]

Has live scope changed how you ice fish ? Or change ice fishing in anyways ? And has your productivity of eliminating empty water and producing more caught fish went up ?

[@handyhutch73]

Hey Clayton , how is the GoPro attached to your hat??

[@thaddeuskeyes3360]

Do u tip the hyper glide with minnow head or bait at all, or scent?

[@ArcherieAB]

Hey Clayton what knot you use at the bait? Keep up the awsome work realy enjoy your channel

[@daverowe7305]

Is there a slot on that lake, you're throwing back the best ones!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Yea there is… plus those are the prime breeders!!!!

[@JacksonBaumgartOutdoors]

Can you tell me more about what you run for a mic on your GoPro? Or is the external mic for your main camera not your GoPro?

[@joshkolesar1352]

Definitely going to try that spot!!! How do I make sure I'm on the right structure around there without a livescope? I have a depth finder so would I just have to drill a bunch of holes until I find a sweet spot? It seems like even moving a few meters in a different direction can make a big difference!

[@Mfox1792]

Hey Clayton! What is that little table that attaches to the side of your pop out?? Is that also an Eskimo thing?

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

That is called a Wingman by Arc Lab! It's great!

[@MegaNounounou]

Is there a big difference between the Twilight and Vantablack rod?

[@bradenjohnson2332]

Love the vid Clayton! How did you mount your gopro to your hat?

[@mackie_p]

What's your thoughts on putting a small hole in the air bladder?

[@mikelaporte5171]

Ice Hole Power - my power box has been running great for 3 years now.

[@Masterwokeyman]

Truck is getting closer to that ice, ieeeeeee, lol

[@doubledoverfishing67]

You and the frostbite team have inspired me to do my own videos. Mine are no where near your quality lol but it's still a blast to do! Keep up the hard and fun work :)

[@dereksoukup]

Same! Did a few ice fishing videos last year inspired by the same folks as you. So much fun.

[@kevinmeilleur5282]

And so did I (we) Renegade Outdoors. Not sure if it will ever be youtube material!! LOL

[@mikeryan7575]

​@@kevinmeilleur52820:57

[@sonnenburgoutdoors]

Me too!!

[@obsessedwithfishing470]

I see you’re using Garmin livescope or Hummingbird Mega live. In your opinion which unit is better? I’m trying to decide which one I want for fishing hard water and open water in the future.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

100% the Livescope. I had the mega live as well and I sold it to get a Livescope

[@obsessedwithfishing470]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors Thanks for responding back so quickly! I really appreciate the info! Keep up the good work. I enjoy watching your video man 🤟🏽🎣

[@camerongrant9356]

I just noticed you switched to Eskimo!!! lol Do you like their tents better than Otter?

[@craigolson6311]

where you fishing at? may i ask ?

[@tylerkromm5272]

What color mode do you set your live scope too? My scope is brown and not sure how to switch

[@stephenvanorsdale7294]

Eskimo man!!

[@robertmaloney567]

That's where I was. What mapping do you have on phone? Have to get that.

[@sonnenburgoutdoors]

Thanks for the vid! Finicky foolers are the best! Way better than ifishpro .I made a vid of an alarm mod for the fooler on my channel. Works good. Can play with phone in shack and not miss fish!!! lol 👍👍🐟🐟

[@mikberry7090]

Wo! Hold the phone… where is all your Otter gear?

[@steveneddy9492]

What is that skinny table you got ?? A folding Bench or what ???

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Yup. Folding bench :)

[@ErVan_AG]

Remember too keep your bail open on those finicky foolers

[@skidoo106]

New truck? We like trucks too!

[@garycorwell8798]

What Garmin unit are you using?
