Perch Fishing | Ice Fishing for Perch with the Underwater Camera!

Every once and a while I get the urge to go chase some Perch. Today was one of those days where I wanted to spend some time with the Underwater camera and see if we could locate some Perch! I ended up having to switch tactics and turn it into a Run N Gun day, but we managed to find them!

When they are holding the mealworm short. Give it the slightest lift ( pressure) then slightest slack. They'll usually suck it in. They think its tryin to escape. AWESOME FOOTAGE BUD !

[@RaulGarciaFishingandOutdoors]

I love when they engage when you move the dirt!!

[@ssdpqd2531]

Thanks for indulging us with the perch video;

[@tmfc93]

Man, I sure do love the underwater footage you got. Great work on this one, per usual! I know doing all the extra filming makes it tougher on ya, but I sure do appreciate it!! Keep on grinding 💪🏼 🎣 🧊

[@ssdpqd2531]

Oh heck yeah...perch baby!!!

Love them perch. As always great video Mr Shick. That will do

[@hootiesfilms6446]

Really appreciate the 30-40 minute videos! Awesome

[@shinuizabusa2180]

I love the underwater footage. Alone by watching you can learn so much. Moods, behaviours of aggression....awesome. Much love Clayton

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

So true !

I’ve been waiting for this one! Sooo excited😆 Already hit the like button

[@DubbyasDIY]

Good stuff! Chasing Perch sure is a fun way to burn through a day on the ice. Thanks, Clay!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Thank you for watching!

[@staticityy6664]

I like this perch content! Found a spot the other day for perch on the bay of quinte and the average size was 10 inches, but we have caught a lot of 12s+! It was so much fun I took myself away from the walleye this winter season! Keep the content coming Clayton! 🤙🏽 Thank you man!

[@dalbert4991]

Underwater view great 😃

[@gamekillerxl6690]

Man I appreciate your videos you are awesome whenever I can’t get out I watch one of your videos keep it up man let no one discourage you tight lines 🎣🎣🎣

[@wildthing3112]

A calm, friendly voice and way of speaking. Almost soothing, even... like Mr. Rogers goes fishing :) A very welcome change from the over-the-top, faux-excited hyper-blather of other channels. This is the guy you want in your fishing crew. Subscribed.

[@kalebwiszniak9385]

I have been waiting forever I love these videos

[@theniceguy5301]

12 3/4” THAT THING WAS HUGE!!!! Nice catch Clayton

[@Jeeg_Quebec_CAN]

This was awesome! Seeing them on the underwater camera is great!! You got me more confident about using a small sized rattle bait that I barely used recently. Please do a catch-clean-cook out of those soon, they taste so good in Catch and Cook from Josh and Jay! 😜

[@IntuitiveUniversity]

Love the underwater camera and you awesome to CSO. Just know that you're appreciated for all that you do for our world. Entertainment, recourse advocate, shares tips and advice CSO is the best!

Love all of your videos... You and jay should do a Clay vs Jay on ice. That would be epic!

[@fxn8236]

Love the jabs at jay 😂😂

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

HAH!!

[@morrisdomke8920]

I'm HAPPY TO SEE YOU ARE A SMALL CATCH GUY TOOO!!!!! IM NOT GOING TO LIE

[@matthewdykstra4553]

Clayton, would you please go over your gear and rig and how you stow it all and tow it all. I love little tips like that and it gives me ideas for my own rig. Love the videos and have been watching I think since you started, thanks! Oh and I love perch!

[@michaelmallery7751]

Excellent lake for Jay to fish.......🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@chrislaprise398]

i love that 4 way cam. Switching to the underwater camera on that pike surprised us all, including you!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

HAH!! Right? I was like... OH Hi Pike!

[@adamsmith3996]

That auger ate that ice so fast , i got an icecream headache !!!

[@patrickstoyreviewspatricke8083]

Nice catches

[@chrisb5023]

Love the monotony of perch fishing. Not so much the pruney fingers, but the prayer for a 14 incher!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Right? How I feel too!

[@nickwojieck]

It's funny for me to hear thar 9-10" are just small ones. Where I fish, if I got into a school of fish that size, I would be loving life

[@randygagnon9175]

Nice!

[@lynnettep8748]

New subscriber! I’ve been enjoying and binge watching your videos🔥 keep up the great work!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Appreciate you watching the videos!

[@gregporth356]

Perch are the best eating imo. Keep up the good work. 🍻

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

They are tasty! Thinking of doing a catch and cook video with them soon!

[@Jayzc66]

A jig and minnah! ;)

[@j.r.w6623]

BADASS !!!! ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE

[@ECRDFishing]

Great video quality and so entertaining! As a fellow Fishing KZbinr I know how much of a challenge it can be to get great footage and focus on fishing. When they get finnicky, I love to deadstick the jig for several seconds and downsizing can help too. Thanks again!

[@ReservedOutdoorz]

Hell ya Clayton !!!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

YES!

[@RobertKearl-Outdoor-Adventures]

I love my solid carbon 42" light rod

[@billlere9262]

Clayton. I watch every video that you put out. I thoroughly enjoy all of your footage. You work very hard to bring us the best of what you do. I just want to say THANK YOU. I learn so much from you. Your trip with Mac was very entertaining. I live in the Twin Cities in Minnesota. My dream is to catch a 40 inch Laker. I know it's a dream. But it's not impossible in Minnesota. I actually bought Dragon Slayers and big Tantrum rattle baits from Frostbite.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Appreciate the kind words!! I have a feeling you will catch a 40" laker one day!!

[@DROutdoors18]

Enjoyed the perch action Clayton. Be cool to get the fam on a spot like that for your Christmas vid next year!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Sure would!

[@FishGuyJer]

Maybe just me but fluorescent green or chartreuse are my go to perch colors. Never fails

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I will try that!

[@paulbrown131]

Thank goodness for youtube reminder feature. I know what I'll be doing at 7!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

See ya then!!

[@stephenballard3759]

When they're doing that thing where they're stealing my meal worms, that's when I go to one of those jigging spoons with a chain. Even some random spoon with a swivel and an added hook. A lot easier to have it end up in their mouth.

[@shaundiltz5821]

God I miss perch fishing, may take trip soon.

[@chrislaprise398]

it’s amazing how much that rod bends to the center on such small fish.

[@chrislaprise398]

I just notice that that rod bend to the base with small fish. I thought it was to the center.

[@JohniBoiiViDz]

Hard water perch is so yummy

[@rhaller07]

"Excellent lake for Jay to fish." Lmao so true.

[@adammead8197]

Right on bud! Love it. I'm going for anything that bites most of the time ha. Def targeting Lakers this weekend. Cheers from Great East Lake NH/ME.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Anything that bites!! love it!

[@justinbouchard]

Perch are so cool and the best bait snipers lol

[@justinbouchard]

The underwater camera footage shows what I thought I knew when I used to guide. If you're fishing where you think there should be or know there should be fish, especially if you're getting hits, I always always always go to straight hook and splitshot. Gamakatsu all day. Double or triple the numbers compared to jigging in the same spot with the same bait in my experience anyways. It was always fun for me to switch up and have the one guy in the boat that won't use what's working and just jig his life away when we're doubling or tripling his numbers.

[@joesantoro9040]

Love your videos! You are my favorite person on KZbin right now. Do you by chance know any crappie spots for ice fishing videos. Crappie fishing is my favorite

[@joshjo9184]

Underwater footage is great as always. But its sad there is a part of me that misses the flasher screen. Thanks for bringing out the helix buddy.

[@jamesds9878]

Experience much flood water Clayton? The lake I go to in north central sask has a foot of water in places! Horrible! Gotta take the sleds lol this warm weather and rain is really dropping the snow! Cool to see a different species!

[@1tightlinefishing631]

you make such awesome lake trout content I don’t want anything else😂 but you gotta please the masses I suppose

[@differentfins]

Lol I feel the opposite. I like these videos and think he is doing his lake trout and walleye videos to please the masses. They are all good! Cheers

[@Darkspider86]

Great Video 👍✌️🇨🇭

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Cheers!

[@differentfins]

That back ground behind you 5 mins into the video is beautiful! Just saying it's like Rocky Mountain light lol.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

It sure was!

[@RobertKearl-Outdoor-Adventures]

Be interesting to watch you do a sight fishing video

[@adventureswithwoodswoman804]

you say those are small hell I'd be on fire if I could get a limit of 9 inchers in michigan...thise are darn nice perch perfect eaters

[@Kennybarry11]

Haha, boy you can definitely tell you fish lakers and walleye mostly. You need to have some beaded spoons and soft plastics in your arsenal.

[@chrislaprise398]

I’m back. On quarter to 9 here in northern Michigan.

[@adammolotfishing]

You have some of the best ice fishing content. Can you lay out your go-to walleye rods from frostbite?

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I sure can. I have lots before in videos. But I’ll add it again in the future

[@dmeinder77]

Now this is something I've been waiting for.... And I'm only 45 seconds in, lol.... There may be more comments after... Cheers!

[@nilemerton9558]

"This would be an excellent lake for Jay to fish." >:D

[@jeffsloniker8840]

Which frostbite rods are you using? Great video once again!!

[@thomaslawrence3232]

Can you show a topo map of the area you are describing? I'd love to see roughly how close to the drop off you are fishing in relation to the shore bank. Love the videos. I've learned a lot. Tight lines.

[@jthibeault84]

Very nice! Love the videos! What reel are you using? I’m looking to get more geared up for jigging.

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

Clayton you really love to give Jay heck, don't you? lol

[@differentfins]

It's really easy to poke fun at us NW Ontario guys. We dont have as many trophy fish waters. Prairie lakes are insanely fertile by comparison. I catch so many more big fish when I fish Manitoba. Fish factories out west!

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

@@differentfins I was only commenting on the good natured teasing that goes on between Jay and Clayton.

[@differentfins]

@@thelonesomefisherman7425 oh I know lol. Clayton def has the edge though, if you fish Ontario and Manitoba the fishing, especially for big ones, is so much better west of the border. You cant even compare it! Maximum size might be the same but your fish of the year in Ontario would only be the fish of the week in the prairies. What I am saying is I feel Jay's pain haha.

[@dmeinder77]

Well... Just gotta say, I enjoy all the videos, and quite like diversity. I mean, I love the big fish and the strategy and work for the perch... But would most certainly get sick of any one thing, and have to disagree with requests to "get back on the big fish". This video was awesome, and could see a lot of the efforts and struggles with the target.... Their all awesome and I get something from all of them. Keep up the great videos! Thanks!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy this day. It is always fun to mix it up!

[@chrislaprise398]

Maybe put a smaller hook on the back of that Jig? The perch seem to be biting at it but not getting hooked.

[@mattbrown7483]

Nice to see you do a perch video. I had to laugh when you put that 9" perch on your huge bump board, good stuff. Clayton, what are you using for you mega live transducer pole? wondering if they make them for the Garmin live scope?

[@BeeRockk4]

Another awesome video. Great day on the lake. Just wondering what reels you are using? Have you ever had to oil/grease them? If so what do you recommend for oil/grease for the best performance? Thanks

[@stumpedridgeoutdoors516]

Hey Clayton those rod holders on your rack on the sled is their anything that holds them in tight for your longer trips out ?? Thanks

[@joefishstone8132]

Ice fishing lake George ny I was catching perch with like 9-10 stripes on average which I thought was pretty crazy

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Well that would be insane!

[@d-routdoors9055]

Hello Clayton. I love your fishing show and episodes! Keep up the good work! I have a question about your ice auger, what name brand is it? How many holes can you punch till the battery runs low?

[@shaundiltz5821]

Is it legal to throw one of those baby perch on a live bait rig for big pike?

[@hoooty87]

Is that a revros reel? If so I have the same setup on my royal flush. I also use a bigger one on my Mr big

[@buenoblanco]

Clayton, really enjoy your vids, thanks bud! Odd question, how do you clean your gloves after handling fish all day?

Do the perch down south have the black dots in the meat like most northern ones ?
