Exploring New Waters for Walleye on Lake Winnipeg

[@gregporth356]

The two things I love most when ice fishing. Fishing outside and not having another soul in sight. 🍻

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Ya and day 2 was even nicer!!

[@Ebjs]

Catchin fish is nice too lol

[@frontierfishingwithRyanMacD]

Looks like Clayton had another VERY successful ice fishing season! Thanks for all the great ice fishing videos this year Clayton!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Been a good year, I have ice left for like a whole month yet! So crazy! I am sure you do as well!

[@frontierfishingwithRyanMacD]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors ice season finishes at the end of the month here in Alberta. Things warmed up TOO QUICK within the last week to brave the ice and there are warnings out at all the lakes province wide. I had 5 good ice trips this year so I’m satisfied until next ice season!

[@steved.9839]

You and Adam are a great team. Fishing buddies are fun when you can get it all together

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Love fishing with my buddy!

[@chrisb5023]

Yeah boy!!! Clayton to the rescue! Our ice seasons ooooverrrr.. time to sit back and watch some CSO walleye smack down

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I have so much ice left yet!!

[@jeffrivnie5519]

Fishing through you Brother. As of Friday morning, didn't have enough ice on our lake to make a drink. People were out canoeing😂. Think I'm going to step it up next season, and get mounts for the machines, so I can start mapping. Thanks again for taking the time and putting out the videos🍻

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Thank you for watching all of them :)

[@billmichlig55]

Thank you for all the work you put into these videos! I finally made it out to chase some lake trout and a chartreuse tube was the ticket to catching my first ever laker through the ice! If it ain’t chartreuse it ain’t no use!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I love so much to hear these kind of stories! Congrats on the first of many through the ice :)

[@adammead8197]

Not too shabby of a sesh. Looking forward to seeing some more from that area. Cheers bud

Day 2 is a smash fest :)

Thanks Lance! Look forward to seeing you guys again this summer!

[@sheepdog401]

Absolutely agree with you, the Gull Harbour Restaurant is fantastic !!! And so is the fishing.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Very good food!

[@z3proximity913]

I love watching you find spots and work to find fish. Makes me a lot more motivated to get out there and find my own Milk Run!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I enjoy the hunt :)

[@shelleyszulinszky9732]

Always a great day when fishin ❤️✌️👍

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Yup!

[@odelldaniel7868]

the envy is massive, I've been ice fishing for 15 years, one of my favorite things to do, my son and I recently started ice camping. We live in Ohio so we have to travel to upper Michigan or Wisconsin, this is the second year in a row we haven't had a winter, we had 1 week of fishable ice, so I watch all of your videos with great envy, thanks for all of your effort Clayton.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I really hope you have good ice next season!

[@odelldaniel7868]

Thanks Clayton, we may haver to travel up to your neck of the woods one day. @@ClaytonSchickOutdoors

[@mattvanmalsen311]

Yeah 3 years ago here in Michigan was amazing! Clayton and Jay got me hooked on ice fishing, just got a 5200 from arclab can't wait to set it up. Hopefully next year will be better ice.

[@outplayinghooky8515]

[@konopelskifarms]

Awesome video Clayton as always. Really like the upbeat clean fun. Can we expect a Clay Vs Jay this winter? Was catching walleyes North of South End SK last week. Evening bite was stellar. Trout up there was very very slow. You win some you lose some.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

North of south end hey? That sounds like a fun trip!!

[@jaegek]

the 8:05 mark is so rewarding/frustrating. Sometimes you can do everything right and not catch a fish. Othertimes you can do no wrong based on how aggressive they are. Love the color of these eyes.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

100%!!

[@dalbert4991]

Your day looked peaceful.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

It was! Day 2 was even more peaceful!

[@andrewpiotrowski1384]

Great content Clay keep it coming. Tough bite which will turn around in May to be the hottest bite on the lake!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Thought about going up in May this year for sure!

Hey Clayton. Great Video. It looks like on the chart the 2 Arrows are pointing to a Hippopotamus Nose. You could call that point "Hippos Nose"

Great video. The lake I fish once I catch a sauger I call it quits if it’s slow for some reason walleye don’t hang out with sauger

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I have noticed that too sometimes.. BUT I have also caught GIANT Walleye wanting to eat the sauger :)

[@kevinteal247]

Is that right. I will keep that in mind next time maybe stick it out a little longer ! Keep up the great content! I learn lot from ya

morning clayton frist time subscriber bean your for awhile i thought its time to sub great videos and really like the detale in the videos keep up great job

[@jefff9495]

i had hard time finding any fish this year

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Appreciate you watching the videos :) It was a tougher winter I would say all around. I have struggled this winter as well with finding some really good bites.

[@kalvinkristjanson3950]

Another great video. Certainly makes me want to make the drive to Lake Winnipeg and do some exploring. I was wondering if you might be able to comment in one of your videos on fishing etiquette, specifically when it comes to setting up right beside someone else on the ice. I was recently out on LOTP and had 5 km of ice between me and the bridge and I had a group of guys show up and drill a dozen holes within feet of my tent. When I confronted one of them about it, they acted like I was the problem, saying they had fished there yesterday and "its a big lake". Nothing like ruining someone else's fishing experience because you wanted to get back to exact spot you fished the day before. As always, keep up the good work. I always enjoy watching to see what your next adventure will be. Hopefully I'll get to see you out on the water again soon!! Cheers!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I hear ya on this one 100% I think they were in the wrong 100%... At the most they should have had a conversation with you first and been like hey we fished here yesterday do you mind if we fish here again? What I hate about that the most is you would not have set up if they were already there... Ice fishing is so gross for that because if someone comes up to fish beside you in a boat it's easy to just move, but once you are all setup with ice fishing tents, its a pain in the neck to move. I have made comments like this in videos before and I am sure I will do it again when I read stuff like this. Cheers man!

[@kalvinkristjanson3950]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors thanks for the reply! It's definitely something that I think more anglers need to be aware of. Common courtesy some times isn't all that common nowadays. Keep up the great work! Think you'll be out in the parkland at all before the ice is out?

@@kalvinkristjanson3950 yup. Planning on fishing the area before ice is gone. I have hardly fished this area since Christmas. I like to avoid the crowds too :)

Clayton have you ever ate sauger,just wondered if thy are good eating as I have saw many videos with sauger being caught,but not much in the way of keeping or eating.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I feel like the Walleye are better, I find the sauger to not taste as good. BUT They are still better that a lot of other fish I am sure :)

[@Browner39]

Great videos your putting out. I noticed a chair you had attached to your sleigh. Is it made for the sleigh or something you just made work? Thanks

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

That’s my flip over shelter :)

Ahh, makes sense now. Should have known that from previous videos. When you have a minute check out my ice shack I built for comfort., its only half hour sled ride from your favorite lake, big athapap.@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors

[@David-ek4fh]

I like that you call them greenbacks. It’s more apt to be called poison picks. One industry conns you to pay for the infrastructure changes, you will love what the zebra and zag mussely throwing arms do to the clarity of the water and in turn, the normal colour of the pics.

Clayton, you made your live chat at a bad time. i have to sleep by 10 pm or 11 pm.

[@danielrasmussen1759]

I notice you seem to fish 2-4 feet off the bottom lots for walleye. Is that pretty common? I’ve always been told to fish right on or near bottom for walleye

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Depends on the lake a lot, BUT fish are always looking up and will see your bait when they are further away if you have your bait up higher.

Same auger mount :). And I just set my livescope up there. Not mounted up there just balanced

[@sotabear6334]

Got a question for you, have you ever had any starting issues with the 900 ace in extreme cold conditions? I know this winter for the most part has been pretty wimpy as far as real cold but I'm considering getting a four stroke for my new fishing rig and curious how they perform. Thanks Clay!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Only ONE time in 3 years... It was like something froze on it. It started fine, then I shut it off got packed up and then went to start the sled again and NOTHING, I put my shelter over it for 3 mins with the heater and it fired up right away... I had a buddy that had that happen to him as well, something froze on it. Has never done it since, so no idea what it was.

[@randyfryer9003]

​Iwonder if the starter selinod won't engage when it didn't start since just a little heat made it work fine I've experienced that years ago on Arctic Cats.

Reply; the infrastructure that’s on the lake crys that the zebra muscles clog up the respective equipment (water pumps, factories, etc) and make the tax payers pay for the infrastructure changes to handle the crustaceans. The “greenback” is that colour because of the pollution. As with LErie, the invasive mussels will clean the water and the fish will go back to their natural colour. Our grandkids will have an amazing fishing as long as we don’t go full commi and the water doesn’t get privatized by companies like eco-certification.
