There is no bad day fishing 🎣 regardless of what you catch or don't catch....The time spent outdoors is worth it. Catching some gold is always a bonus 👍🏆
I love the advice of scouting around before setting up your shack. You nailed it, fish have fins. They move around. Even when you have tried and true spots to hit, you still never know. I always put out some kind of set line before I set up my shack so I can better decide to set up there or move around more.
Clayton you are so mellow while slaying walleye. I guess I don’t catch many so I get all worked up but you keep your cool. Love your calm demeanor while yanking and cranking. Well done
Awesome day fishing Clayton. I used to never like eating pike till I filled one now I eat it when I get a chance it’s good eating just as good as walleye. Thank you for another awesome video.
Hey Clayton, excellent video I just love watching your content on the walleyes ice fishing. I learn something new every time!! I would love to give you a tip on your livescope if you would like. I used to do the same thing as you do of watching out in front of me until I found the settings on my Garmin to change it from forward orientation to down orientation I found it gives a crisper image and instead of looking one direction I can look out both directions(almost like side view except live!)with my LS I’m not sure but you may love it more than I do!! Or not of course personal preference comes into play! P.s I would love to see a video of you and Jay ice fishing walleyes this winter!!😀😀
I used to do a lot of looking straight down, but I love to look out 70-100 feet lots of times and get a feel for how fish are moving :) BUT I think I know what you are saying and I will try that too :)
Lovin the walleye fishin! Going this weekend hopefully on quad unless I can’t find a choke cable 😢 foot is fine just limited. 10-11” of clear ice on the lake. New tech this year for me new ion alpha, and mega live CANT WAIT!
I hate how warm it is here in Ontario. We miss the December fattening for winter walleye. We don't normally have safe ice until roughly early to mid January if we're lucky
I live in northern Alberta & we don’t have snow where I live We are in the + C during the day Lakes are taking a while to freeze right now but it’s definitely clear solid ice
I’ve lost 2 spud bars because I didn’t have the rope around my wrist. $50 donated to the local lakes, but that’s 2 times I’ve avoided not going through the ice
Always enjoy your vids Clayton. Little jealous of your ice atm. But I’ll get on some soon. I noticed you’re representing Eskimo now. I gatta say, I went with the 650xd over the otter of compatible size. I thought the otter had some nice features like the anchor points and maybe the beacon. But overall the Eskimo seemed like a better material. Thicker maybe. Seemed tougher, even the bag seemed better imo. Zipper bags (like the ones otter uses) seem to brake more often. Why did you make the switch? I’d love to know.
Clayton, if you use Okuma Baitfeeder Reels, you can activate the bait feeding option, and it will let the fish take all the line they want without resistance and it will still set off the Finicky Fooler properly. I use the Okuma Baitfeeders and Finicky Foolers exclusively. It's also nice besides the fish, not knowing it's hooked. Another feature is that you can't lose your rod down the hole unless it fully spools the reel, which is unlikely.
@ClaytonSchickOutdoors I've only used mine outside this year when it was fairly warm out, so I don't have experience with them outside. However, these Northland guys have no problems with them in the cold in this recent video. th-cam.com/video/7THXrn9-HA4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4lrrw9X2VNhEX41B I also use them inside the permanent icehouse ( like Ice Castle ) instead of a rattle reel because I like to fight the fish with a rod, and you can hear them go off inside easily.
Hi Clayton. I've watched a bunch of the videos and i feel you covered this bit i don't remember. Do you recommend Fluoro or mono leader for ice fishing?
I stay away from the crowds and keep moving. I have yet to fish the same spot twice this year. Hate following people and hate going near people. Would rather fish an area that has less fish and get them to myself :)

Words my grandpa taught and lived by! Other words he lived by was “bluegills always eat worms, so you never have to get skunked if you don’t want to”😂
How bout the day I dropped my pickup through the ice? Or the time I dropped my 4-wheeler in?
Love these early access videos!! Become a member to see Clayton slay some fish first!!
100%
unreal..... I wish we got ice here in Ontario as early as you do...Great day! Us anglers only dream for days like that!
Still weird to see Clayton decked out in Eskimo gear instead of Otter. Great video!
You've made yourself quite the awesome life Clayton. keep up the good work.
I guess you could say a good way to be social distancing. Shallow water with deep water close is always good. Good video as always. Thanks for sharing
HA!! Yes!
Gotta get me some Dinner Bells this winter, gives a different look and sound to those Walters... IF IT AIN'T CHARTREUSE, IT AIN'T NO UUUUSE!! 🤪🎣
YES!!
Re-watching this one with my coffee this morning stupid cold has me on the couch.
You live a blessed life Clayton!! Gorgeous day, plenty of fish and no one around!! So jealous as we still wait for some safe ice in eastern Ontario!
Love those “foolers” great video, thanks for sharing

Awesome video Clayton!! Keep'em coming!! 🎣🐟😉😎
You cant beat a day like that with mild temps and no wind. My absolute favorite days to ice fish are the ones fishing outside 🍻
Clayton you are so mellow while slaying walleye. I guess I don’t catch many so I get all worked up but you keep your cool. Love your calm demeanor while yanking and cranking. Well done
I still get excited for the big ones :)
That’s the nicest feeling to be able to comfortably fish outside, but it’s usually towards the end of the season 🎣
YUP!! Felt like March!
Just got hm from kids xmas concerts and yay, time to relax with CSO ❤✌️👍
Awesome day fishing Clayton. I used to never like eating pike till I filled one now I eat it when I get a chance it’s good eating just as good as walleye. Thank you for another awesome video.
Just caught it my first walleye thru the ice!
Another great video, that scissor kick seems to be working pretty well! Thanks again for sharing.
Blessings from Louisiana! Great catches C-man!!👊💯🔥🎣
We specialize in sitting for long periods of time while staring at the ground. Glad you like the chairs 👊
Clayton rock's he's the golden lion master😊😊😊
:)
Thanks for taking me fishing Clayton! I had fun!
Awesome day
I love my eskape chairs! The otter ones flatten out and get uncomfortable after sitting for a couple hours.
Walleye "lunch In" is fitting LOL
Loving the warm winter so far.
Yup!
Can't wait for part 2!
What a life!
This this time of year. Clayton ice fishing videos!!!!!!
yup!
Enjoy the day on the water buddy. Keep them videos coming!!
Clayton you need to have a "take a fan fishin " contest/ giveaway . Would make great content .
Thank you
Thank you for watching!

Thanks for the breakdown on the spoons! I have been looking to buy some and that info was great for me having not used them.
wow u got lucky with that spud bar and not taking another step by the look of it lol😂
Talk about a hot spot.
Was fire for sure! Wait, till you see the prime time bite!!
Awesome video as always Clayton. Always good to see you and your videos. Cheers.
Eskimo is the best Clayton
Crazy walleye action!!! Thanks so much 👍👍🐟🐟
Here in Michigan, a Do-Jigger by Bay DeNock lure company is a staple for walleye.
Awesome, watching this before I head out on the ice tomorrow has got me itching bad. Great video Clayton, cheers!
Thank you as always!
wind is the killer . I work hirise construction and I'd rather -20 without wind then -3 with heavy wind anyday
Ohhhhhhhhh new episode baby !!!!!
YUP!!

Yikes!
Painfully slow ice this yr. We live on Manitoulin Island and you can’t even trust the driveway puddles yet
Great video Clayton
I was wondering if you were gonna sit on the jig, was waiting for a little yelp😂😂😂
great vid!!! kinda nice with the sxs on years like this….. love the sled but good change up
I live in northern Alberta & we don’t have snow where I live
We are in the + C during the day
Lakes are taking a while to freeze right now but it’s definitely clear solid ice
Kind of how it went here too, we had a little snow but thankfully it melted before it got too cold to make ice
I wonder if you were talking to my buddy Grant over at Eskimo. I think the eskimo seats are some of the best on the market.
Nice !
I’ve lost 2 spud bars because I didn’t have the rope around my wrist. $50 donated to the local lakes, but that’s 2 times I’ve avoided not going through the ice
Thats a "chamber of commerce" day!
You call that first pike a snot rocket but that's decent for my lake, lol!!
can you make a video of your little rod tip up mechanism you got your first fish on?
Ever Heart Outdoors Approves ❤
The jack knife jig.... what's that secondary hook for? Better hook up rate? Funky way of hooking the live bait?
Nice
Man i wanna get out so bad but Minnesota wearher has been so warm the ice is so sketchy
There was a drone shack on that lake yesterday scouting for bad ice 😂.
HAH!! I saw that!!
Always enjoy your vids Clayton. Little jealous of your ice atm. But I’ll get on some soon.

Why did you make the switch? I’d love to know.
you can see something at 2:24 ...what is the polairs leaking ? ouch :(
.... haha No it's no leaking... Emptied out a water bottle ;)
omg lol im picking up what your laying down hahahhaah shoot!!! my bad @@ClaytonSchickOutdoors
Still waiting for ice here in southern Wisconsin 😢, probably won’t get any until the start of January
yup lost 1 spud already this year lol but another great day walleye fishing i see you had lol
love the videos thank you for posting
Guy needs to learn to use the handle lol
i forgot to loop rope around wrist lol @@ClaytonSchickOutdoors
Awesome videos! Love to watch these videos, great fishing content. What lakes do you fish?
I will second that comment,
A bad day of fishing is way better than a good day at work 😅😅😅😅
100%
Best fishing videos on the tube brother!! Hopefully you make enough money to increase variety. Go getm
Awesome trip just an observation you look better as an otter than an Eskimo
Great video as always Clayton! Wish we had anything close to ice in Montana...Hopefully soon. Any underwater walleye strike videos coming soon? Cheers
Thank you sir!! Yes, wanting to do some of that soon
I like your profile pic. Go griz!!!
Nice walleye fest!
Yup!

I will have to try, do they ever freeze up? My fear is having the bait feeder freeze up.
Mine haven’t. They work so well.

Great day on the ice. What are you using to secure your lures to the line, knots, clips or other? newbie to ice fishing.
what line should i use to target walleye? i keep getting different answers everywhere i look lol
Do you have a slot limit for walleye, too small or too big can't keep them? Or is it self imposed?
Do you notice fish getting finnicky while using FFS like your MEGA Live?
Clayton you look good in red
Hey Clayton, do you k!ll the fish right a way before you bring it home or no?
Hey Clayton, I was curious if you can use your helix seven in your next video please 🙏
@clayton I just want to buy one of your loaded tackle boxes with all them bada** frostbite lures lol 😂
Nice sesh! Pumped for chat hangout
YES!
Super cool video as always.
As the ice season start i just restart watching youtube. You switched for Eskimo? Are they good products?
Looking for a gps for my snowmobile specifically for ice fishing, what do you recommend? Your suit looks good!!!
Do you ever have the hook of the dinner bell hook into itself where the 'bell' is? Or is that just a me issue haha
I upsize the hooks so I don’t have that issue at all.
What type of minnows were you using?
you just open your bail on the deadstick rod, or does the diesel reel have bait feeder action?
just open the bail.
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors are there any real drawbacks to simplifying things this way? line tangle/missed fish, etc?
Why did you switch from otter to eskimo?
What kind of fish finder do you use ?
Was wondering how your hooking those minnows with those jigs
I was just nose hooking them :)
Hi Clayton. I've watched a bunch of the videos and i feel you covered this bit i don't remember. Do you recommend Fluoro or mono leader for ice fishing?
What size auger do you run? Looking at switching from the strikemaster 40v to the alpha plus.
Hey bud. Where did you get your transducer stick from. I need one for my livescope.
ArcLab Motor Sport :)
Thanks bud. I just looked them up on facebook. I’m gonna send them a message and tell them I want one just like yours. Thanks again.
@@jasonmessmann4012 please do :). I have been loving mine!
What make are those rod holders you are using with the flag .
Finicky fooler
Hello Clayton, what lodge with guide would you recommend for sometime in Jan?
What species are you looking for?
Walleye, actually heard what you were just saying about Dec being the best. U think Jan will be too late for them? If not how’s perch in Jan?
Clayton Any preferred rod length for the Finicky Foolers?
Been liking 39" Frostbite Drench for this :)
Nice video Clayton! How do you like that heat hog?
It's been good!
❤️👊💪🎣
How do you never seem to have anyone around you while fishing. Our fish are so overpressured they're almost impossible to keep up with
I stay away from the crowds and keep moving. I have yet to fish the same spot twice this year. Hate following people and hate going near people. Would rather fish an area that has less fish and get them to myself :)
Pike vids coming soon?
Not for a little bit yet, have a couple Walleye videos in the bank yet :)
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors I'm getting a little tired of walleye walleye walleye....... Nothing beats your pike videos
@@jonasmartin678 I literally started the season off with 8 lake trout videos….
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors ya but I love the pike ones best. Lol
Set more tip up rods with more live fish u can just sit there and play with your phone
... Doesn't sound like fun :)
So are you ever gonna talk about the elephant in all your videos Clayton?
