Pike Fishing a new Lake | Back to Back Tanks!

Pike fishing is still in my blood as I have guided for them for 18 years. I still get excited when I find some big fish and their attitude keeps me coming back time and time again!

OMG... I thought I had a tonne of tackle boxes and tackle!! WOW, those shelves behind you are STACKED!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

hehe There is a little bit of tackle there :)

[@dasuberkinchen]

Love pike fishing. With COVID we missed our Pike trip to northern Saskatchewan for two years in a row now. My itch needs scratched. Thanks for letting me live "Pike-ariously" through your videos!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Oh man!! I feel bad for you! I have missed 2 years on guiding as well!

[@dasuberkinchen]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors it's rough. I'm so happy you are able to crank out some awesome videos though!

[@dalbert4991]

Clayton, your excitement puts a smile on my face every time 😁

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Always appreciate you watching the videos!! Cheers!

[@ibanez2010]

Thanks YT for finally recommending a good, no-nonsense, no constantly blaring music, fishing channel! Sub'd

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Appreciate the sub! I have over 150 videos on the channel, lots of ice fishing too :) Cheers!!

[@terrywade7346]

Holy cow Clayton if my wife saw that much gear in one spot she would beat me lol.

[@my71chevro1et]

I really appreciate the rigging clip, that's the kind of stuff that a lot of KZbin anglers don't talk about in detail. Labor Day Classic, Let's Go RIDERS!!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I will try to include more of this in the future :)

[@kitluedtke]

Schick! That is a treasure trove of boxes, gear, etc behind you! I would be interested in just seeing what you all have, how it is organized and why. Keep up the great work.

[@outdoorswithclem6671]

I’m with Kit! Your organization is on point! More info on storage and maintenance of gear and tackle would be awesome!!

[@hngloose2]

Thank you for sharing your passion and this wonderful adventure.

[@alien1034]

Love it. Cant get enough. The rigging lesson was great. ~RESPECT~

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Cheers man!

[@austinb1400]

Clayton! I loved how you explained where to find fish in such detail as well as the rigging part of the vid. Good teachers are hard to find for a new anglers

[@jasonwolfe6266]

My dad told me from fishing lakes up in the U.P. of Michigan the blue tint is from the methane release from underground into the lakes and that it also gives off that tea stain looking water

[@basim_ali]

Always enjoyable and informative content.. thanks Clayton for putting the time and effort to present some of the best fishing videos.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Trying my hardest for sure!! Cheers to you!

[@brateng71]

Awesome!!! Pike day for you Clayton I really enjoy small pike strikes I can see as well. Pike in the fall can be insane!!! Even a bonus walleye!!!! Nice!!!!

[@shinuizabusa2180]

I love this dark pike, the colours are amazing. Nice one

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

so dark!

[@fishingwithshawno]

Good stuff Clayton... Thanks for taking us along. Those were some good looking Pike and a cool blue Walleye. Love the dark colors.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

the quality of your vids has improved greatly. well done

[@tsad5611]

Thanks Clayton. Excellent episode.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

It’s amazing how much you fish yet you still get super excited when you catch them lol. Love it.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

It will honestly never get old!

[@markhaworth3396]

Clayton are you planning on more stocked trout this winter? Love it all but those are my favorite. Beauty catches as always tight lines!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Hoping to do a little yes! :)

ooo ... indeed some nice pike you have in there mate. great ...

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Was a great day!

[@adamkoindustries88]

Great video, sir! I have always meant to try exploring for pike on THAT particular lake, but I am quite nervous on new bodies of water. Lucky for me, I can live vicariously through your videos!

[@MN_Angling]

great content clay! always enjoy the vids

[@scottmacmillan7510]

Good stuff Clayton!

[@donnypatoine4475]

WOW that walleye strike! That really surprised me that's not what I'd expect this time of year.

[@davidbryanbartlett4071]

Trolling on Lake Ontario around pickering thru oshawa close to shore will get you a lot of Pike-Remember BIG LURES (BIGGEST ) vary trolling speed slow ususaaly works best. There are HUGE PIKE in Lake Ontario / REMEMBER CATCH & RELEASE

Lol, that little pike you threw back in the beginning is about the same size as my biggest pike ever!!! :-) Fun to catch at any size but dang, that 43 incher!!! Wow!

[@ryanberndt550]

You should make a video on how you organize all you gear your garage is on point my wife is jealous 😅

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Oh man! I would need 8 hours of video! haha

[@PhotonChief]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors Haha, you'd have to make a second channel, Clayton Schick Indoors. Just livestreams of Clayton cleaning his garage.

[@nighttracker1472]

Pike is my all time favorite to catch, caught a 25 28 30.25 33 and a 29 today on a small lake (maybe 1/2 mile at its longest?) Would love to get to Canada some day!

[@ElderkinAdventures]

If you ever get the chance, try Namew Lake or Moose Lake and Cormorant Lake. Hidden Gems, No joke, Big Pike to be had...

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

This is the second time I have heard about Namew Lake this week. I'd love to know more about that lake.

[@deegee4499]

That shelf tho!! We need a video of you showing off all your tackle!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

:) I have just a little :)

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

As long as you're throwing Buchertail bucktails maybe you should try some of those double 10 blade bucktails like a Cowgirl or similar. 2 bigger sized blades should pull in bigger pike. Muskie anglers get big pike on those all the time.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I have some new stuff I want to try soon :)

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors More toys to play with. A lot of muskie lures work for big pike.

[@TravisInCanada1]

A good pair of cutters are also good to have incase you have hooked, been hooked or have the hook shoot out of a fish into someone. Push the hook through and snip it off below the barb allowing it to slide right of whoever its in.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

100%

[@TheAADempsey]

That Salt Water Knot looks to me like a Rapala Knot.

[@donnypatoine4475]

Man, I love pike. Like musky but easier and so much more fun (less rewarding I guess). By far in my top three species. Tight lines clay!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

100% I love me some Pike!

[@GopherHayes]

Hopefully when I retire I can spend a couple months a year in Canada. 1 month around Ignacio Ontario, 1 month flin flon Manitoba. It’s a ways off but good to have dreams

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Hope you can too!

[@scottrouwhorst881]

Nice

[@joshhugel851]

I have the same shelving in the garage, curious on how you have all your tackle boxes organized.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Great shelving! I feel like I just put stuff anywhere and it looks more organized then it is :) ( I separate lure into categories and sometimes brands)

[@zachburger7126]

I was just in the boat thinking clayton is probably catching pike right now. Sheew I was right!! My dad says can never go with with a 5" 5 of diamonds spoon for big pike

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Love me some Pike! Classic spoon right there!

Hey there Clayton !

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Hi Hi!

[@gage.c4581]

claytons third fish is bigger then my biggest pike this year… biggest this year is unfortunately only 25 inches, ive tried so hard for pike here in alberta but they’re all little hammer handles, even with a savage gear hybrid pike ive only caught little 22 inchers.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Oh man! Keep at it! Big pike time right now!

[@timberdoodle2677]

where can i get some of those perch shads, only found 3.5 ounces yours you said were 1.5 ounce lures

[@aaronroszczewski7267]

Were you using the smaller or larger perch shads? They look awesome, I’ll have to try a few out.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I believe the thumper tail only comes in one size.

[@fisch1139]

Curious what rod and reel you are using is it a Shimano Curado 300? I have a 300EJ that I haven’t used it but I need to get a decent rod for it.Great content very enjoyable.

Hey Clayton I heard you did some guiding and was wondering how you got into doing that line of work. Keep up the good work 💪

Clayton I challenge you to see if you can catch giant sunfish and crappie!? I’ve never seen you put out a panfish video? Maybe you can ask Jay for help? I know he is able to catch them😂😂

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I would but there is nothing really that close to me at all... I really want to catch a crappie!

[@mikejohnston80]

2 questions. What kind of Canon is your main camera? What mount are you using for it?

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

canon xa 40 ez-cam post

[@seansinclair_]

Do you just tie your braid straight onto that barrel swivel, and would it be ok to attach it to a leader?

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Tie it to the braid. You don’t want to attach it to a leader because there are just more things to go wrong

[@loboyd691]

Hey Clayton, I was just wondering what kind of rod you were using. Was it a medium heavy? I just bought two medium heavy rods, one is a medium heavy fast, and I have lost more fish with those two rods. Not sure if its just to heavy for the eater walleyes we typically catch. I use the medium heavies for trolling with cranks and bottom bouncers.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

This was a Heavy, with a moderate-fast action. For trolling walleye you want more of a moderate action rod to really absorb the head shakes, and you don't pull or bend hooks.

[@loboyd691]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors Ahh, thats what I was thinking. I think Ill keep my medium heavies for trolling cranks. Thanks for the tip. I appreciate it!

[@slivers4007]

What are your thoughts on regular tail vs the paddle tail baits?

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I have played with both and have done well with both of them. Thumper tails for darker water might be a better choice.
