Crazy how a guy can slam nice fish in multiple outings, riding high confidence, and all as it takes is 1 slow day to humble us that mother nature still can beat us anytime. Good to see that you're never afraid to show the struggles. These times make the big wins worth all the effort ! Regardless, great content!
Hey Clayton! That breakdown montage really makes me appreciate all the work you do to bring these world class ice videos to us! Moving is tough even when your as dialed as you are! Thanks again!
I often get stuck going where I know I can catch fish. It is nice to see you exploring and learning. I am always feel accomplished when I go on a wild goose chase and am successful. good video
Even Clayton is bound to have a slow day every ONCE and a while! That's been the story of my winter ice fishing here in Alberta. The up and down weather has really messed with the winter ice fishing this year! Keep up the great work Clayton!
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoorsI much prefer videos of the details that happens before the fishing ever starts. The set up , the ride, the packing, the chat before or voice overs. Suppose its the journey vs destination debate. Nice seeing the area, people and site seeing of others backyards. I find once fishing starts, I get bored watching.
It's very cool to get info on how to catch fish when it's tough going. Anyone can catch when the bite is on. And great info on burping Lakers. I like the live well and let them recover themselves.
Loved this search video and I’d love to see another great Cisco video! Maybe showing how to find them? Love ya Clay! Thanks for the entertainment and knowledge
Reminds me of the morning of our Kickerfish tourney. We were around all the teams 1-5 and we didn’t mark any fish. By the time we got on them they had been stung already. We ran outta battery shortly after lunch. It was a gong show of a day. Lots was learnt. We are in the final and hopefully will do better. Keep the content coming my man! Absolutely love everything you put out.
Clayton - you need to try the Deep Freeze One Shot Skimmer. You had about 20 scoops with your Rapala scoop to clean one hole. While the One Shot may actually take 2 or 3 passes but it’s very efficient. Plus it’s pivoting fold flat design packs nicely.
Slow day but some great tips on picking potential fishing spots. If you can nail down where the most likely spots are at the correct time of day, then of course moving lots becomes a nonissue.. Accurate mapping is key!
Going up to Northern Maine this weekend to film a video, gonna be using what I learned from this video to hopefully slam some Lakers. Keep up the good stuff my guy
Great video as usual. I appreciate that you showed what type of structure you fish with a topographical map such as angler;s edge/avenza. I would like to see this included in more videos, I think it is very usual for beginning angler's to have an idea of what time of structure to look for on a map.
Frying any fish skin on is great if you get the skin crunchy. IMO the skin always has the most flavour. Flavour on fish is love it or hate it so some people will love the skin and some people will say it’s to fishy.
Ice fishing is done in Upper Michigan.. crazy weather this year! It was 60° during the day and that night turned to 7°. I know you tried the jack-knife jig... did you like it? I know I do... alot more range of motion for my minnow.. ended up getting a 17 inch large mouth bass through the ice😊 so fun! 😊
Hey “Donkey” would you fish in the same deep spots in the winter where you would fish in the summer or do you like shallower spots in the winter. And do you bleed your lakers that you keep to eat ? Thanks Scott Dodds Emsdale Ontario
Just came back from my first time there.. bucket list item, especially if you stay at the resort. Great fishing, great people.. you won't be disappointed
I’ve really tried to streamline my setup this year to make moving spots less work. It’s so easy to stay put (particularly when it’s cold) when you should be looking for more cooperative fish.
Hi Clayton, I noticed you carry your rods on the side of the rack on the sled. How do you keep rods from falling out, and have you ever lost a handle or rod by doing it that way?
I have never lost any, or any handles, but I have had friends lose handles. I also only carry them on there time to time. Usually for my long drives out they will still go in the rod box, then for short moves I use that to transport them. :)
Even a slow day is better than my any day! It was 18 degrees yesterday, 16 the day before and -20 today.. hard to know if I'll be ice fishing or nothing anymore
With rainbows i like to eat them with the skin on, Just gotta descale them first. super good wrapped in tinfoil butter onion lots of seasoning and throw it on the Bbq or coals by the fire
Hey Clayton, how do you transport your long ice rods? I'm currently looking for a rod case to hold my 45" drama queen from frostbite and a couple of 43" ice rods. Any good suggestions?
🤔🤔 not sure how that could be a favourite ice scoop, doesn't look like it would make a very good throttle lever replacement🤷♂️🤣🤣.. another great video. Goes to show, sometimes you need to be flexible and don't need to be tied to one spot.
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors for sure weird weather… weird ice, snow etc. Thanks for all the amazing vids and advice. Definitely learnt a thing or two from them
Hey Clayton, I noticed you putting your dead minnow on, can you demonstrate how you do that? Do you go threw the eye and then hook threw the body? Always enjoy your content, thanks!
Clayton, do you ever cook burbot for lunch? I would appreciate a catch clean cook for them if it's something you have done. Always heard they are tasty if prepared correctly.
Clayton can you link the gold spoon you were using and have had luck with, i see a lot of similar stuff in stores, but i know small differences can make a huge difference with performance
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors nothing good in life is ever cheap. Just makes it that much sweeter when you finally get to your goal! Thanks for all the content dude!
Not sure if this has been addressed in your videos before but how does one become a member on TH-cam? If it is I’m sorry I haven’t seen that. Not something I’m familiar with. Love the videos keep them coming.
It's all the same dase map .its NAV tronics ,it's all the same ,.GARMIN!FURNO,simrad all the same Deep hole .he ever fish below the Thermocline ,water flips cold up top water below ,an %90 of fish fallow the bait 40 plus years of ice fishing experience

Appreciate the kind words!! Hope to be back in March!

I will have to try!

Nice vid Clayton. I always pan fry rainbow trout with skin on and it is lovely. You should try it for sure.
Pack up lol glad you showed folks who don't understand the process how much gear needs to get packed.
A lot of work 100% BUT I will never complain :)

Dang that chili looked delicious! Slow day...same here tonight on the river.
Was really good!
Nice !
Hey “Donkey” would you fish in the same deep spots in the winter where you would fish in the summer or do you like shallower spots in the winter. And do you bleed your lakers that you keep to eat ? Thanks Scott Dodds Emsdale Ontario
Is there times of year you find lakers are shallower? Ice off? Fall?
This video makes me pumped to someday fish athapap
Heck yes!!
Just came back from my first time there.. bucket list item, especially if you stay at the resort. Great fishing, great people.. you won't be disappointed
I’ve really tried to streamline my setup this year to make moving spots less work. It’s so easy to stay put (particularly when it’s cold) when you should be looking for more cooperative fish.
That's my issue also, so much easier to stay put. Also need to work on my setup and streamline things SO moving isn't such a pain
If I am not filming, I can move around pretty quick, but when filming... NOT so much :)
Cheers!
CHEERS to you!

Hey buddy I love your channel keep up the great work. I can’t wait to make a video with you some day
Cheers!
Great video like always! Are we ever going to get a video of you fishing for crappies ?
Yes one day!
Pan fried lake trout is amazing
I have done Pan fried, just not with the skin on :)
Even a slow day is better than my any day! It was 18 degrees yesterday, 16 the day before and -20 today.. hard to know if I'll be ice fishing or nothing anymore
The weather has been sooo weird!
Great video as always, what’s your go to line/leader setup when fishing multi-species?
10lb suffix 832 braid with 12lb sufix advanced floro... I had a Laker setup too if I was seeing lakers coming in. (or bigger ones)
With rainbows i like to eat them with the skin on, Just gotta descale them first. super good wrapped in tinfoil butter onion lots of seasoning and throw it on the Bbq or coals by the fire
Deep fried rainbow/cutbow is great deep fried with the skin on!
Great work Clayton!! Still putting out the best fishing content out there! Jay who???
I do appreciate the kind words!
Exactly.
❤️✌️👍 we r getting squirmy to go fishin here. As for trout, split down the back skin and ribs on for sure and fried. Maybe lemon pepper.
Sounds good!!
Hey Clayton, how do you transport your long ice rods? I'm currently looking for a rod case to hold my 45" drama queen from frostbite and a couple of 43" ice rods. Any good suggestions?
I use the otter rod case. It’s 48”. It’s bulky but transport is awesome with it.
You’re an Oilers fan?! I like you even more now! 😂
:)
We wet down our rainbows and toss em in some fish fry and right into the pan skin and all. After cooked spine and all the bones pull out.
🤔🤔 not sure how that could be a favourite ice scoop, doesn't look like it would make a very good throttle lever replacement🤷♂️🤣🤣.. another great video. Goes to show, sometimes you need to be flexible and don't need to be tied to one spot.
Haha!!! Can’t wait to show that photo on a video.
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoorsuh-oh🤔🤔, if Mac sees you put that in a video, he'll be shaking his head so hard, he's gonna get whiplash 😂😂
Have you been or plan on doing more ice camping vids? Or are ya up in Northern Manitoba for the rest of the season? I’ve had 4 trips! Can’t beat it
I do plan to do more, been a weird year for the winter camping stuff.
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors for sure weird weather… weird ice, snow etc. Thanks for all the amazing vids and advice. Definitely learnt a thing or two from them

I have, and I do need to do it. They are very tasty! Hope all is well man!
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors life is good. Ice sucked down here but the boats out in February in Minnesota 😁. Hope you and yours are well!

Not mapped yet but how come nobody shows videos of fishing north of bakers lodge on little Athapap?
Not sure? Don’t spend much time up there yet.
Blue and white 5/8oz round jig head with minnow best hooks for north lakes
Never had a tough time getting them to eat, just tough to find them this year :)
Would love to fish up there but the roughly 4500 bucks to do that trip will have to wait a few years. For now I’ll live vicariously though you bud!
I am sure it's not cheap, BUT they have good packages though that save some money :)
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors nothing good in life is ever cheap. Just makes it that much sweeter when you finally get to your goal! Thanks for all the content dude!
I've been wondering why do you grab the line when you pull a fish up the hole? I'd be so worried to lose the fish 😅
I only do if it's a small fish and don't care if it comes off :)
For your head camera what do you have it set on? Wide Or narrow or what?
Superview
