You know Clayton I would watch the video even if you didn’t catch a fish. They are so entertaining so informative. I get take home information from everyone. Keep them coming. excellent video.
Cleaned a rainbow last winter....completely full of water beetles. I have yet to notice in pike or walleye myself. Sweet first ice! Am more than ready to get out already. Northern Sask awaits....
I'm still waiting for good ice in Upper Michigan... I'm guessing January sometime at the earliest unless the weather changes. We are gonna hit 40° for a couple days coming up, so im thinking the ice already out there will be ruined. Im looking forward to trying out my Eskimo wide 1 inferno flip over shack 🤘 it looks nice. So pumped! Good luck out there...🤘😊👍👍👍👍 if it ain't chartreuse it ain't no use🤘🤘😉
@@outdoorswithrandy No good ice anywhere yet. It's supposed to hit 46° soon. So what thin ice is out there will be destroyed again. The wait is so hard!
I cant wait for ice ear on lac champlain for Big Crappie and also i order some Frostbite dinner Bell and also that Meat locker rod and reel diesel 1000 ...i cant wait to try them 🤗
Your persistence and patience are amazing! All your camera work is excellent and I appreciate all the good info. Thanks Clayton! We don't have all the gear, cameras, etc... so we end up just drilling a bunch of holes in likely areas of structure. Still do pretty well most of the time haha!
Would have never thought about securing an ice hut like that! A great trick I will be sure to remember if I am ever in the same situation. Thanks for sharing.
Love the ice shift!! That gets us all at some point. One of my absolute best days was chasing lakers and the ice was going crazy! Fishing in maybe 40 feet of water.
It’s so nice seeing you catching picky without a bait on your spoons Clayton ! I always had a live shiners on them for the last 20 years and even mist going ice fishing because I had no minnows!!!I’m an idiot thinking like that for so long lol Live and Learn
Hey, those small ones are the best to eat. That is what we ate when we drove up to Ontario for the 1st week of the game fish season from Illinois. Spent a week there. Sometimes two weeks straight. Took home our 4 fish limit. Let most of the big ones go. We would eat the 13 to 17 inchers. Great vid. Keep on keepin' on. You are fortunate to have access to some fine eatin'.
The ice quakes freak me out. That’s why I wait for late December. Thx for getting out there for early content. Much appreciated. 2-3 weeks and I am out there!
When you forgot your anchors, I thought you were going to tie treble hooks to the hut and bury the hooks in slush to anchor the hut down, if it's cold enough these freeze then spud them out when it's time to go
I'll come pull your sleigh for ya man lol ! Good on you for not just going out but sticking it out and catching a few. Last but not least your solution for forgetting your pegs was awesome
Awesome video! As always love the content and appreciate it! It's that time buddy! Always helps having the videos to help get my itch going! Hardwater is coming soon to upstate NY and I've got a few good ol boys ready to rip lips! We've always talked about it and would kill to go up even more north into Canada and hammer some lakers and nice walleye. Clayton help us out, give us a guide day we would have a blast! Come on buddy!
Trying out Eskimo this year? Always see ya with otter. I’ve got two eskimos. I’ve got the biggest I use for ice camping and a smaller one I’ve had for years now. Awesome tents! Can’t wait for ice fishin
That's fishing...I appreciate you still sharing the video, even when it's not the best fishing. Still always things to learn. Took a while to get used to seeing you wearing Red but I think it looks good on you! Go Eskimo!
I’m fishing off a dock right now because too cold for a boat but not cold enough for safe ice. I put my camera down and saw walleye,bluegill crappie bass and a northern
Trout love those big water roaches but I don’t think they can digest them very well. I caught a big rainbow last year with one of those stuck half way out it’s ass!
Never had a really good day when the ice is loud. Something I noticed years ago. And the little critters you see scooting around on the aqua view are daphnia. They are a small crustaceans and are indicator of quality fisheries in my experience.
Otter shacks did good for me. The change is more for the channels future and being able to fish for a living. I tried the shacks for a bit before I made the decision as well. I think when I first started Otter was making a superior product, but it really seems like Eskimo has stepped up their game and I am very happy with them! OH! Best customer service ever!
I’m sure fish eat those beetles but their sting is super painful so I don’t think id be threading em on a hook😂😂 , my heart dropped when u just picked it up bare hands awesome video ,I’m getting excited for ice 🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾
I love the sounds of making ice on the lakes. I find it soothing! I have missed it for so long. Still open water here, cooler temps next week should start making ice hopefully.
Hey brother how are ya? Loved the video thank you. Not being an ice fisherman those weird ass cracks noises wow how unnerving. The one loud and long one would have sent me to shore.😆
I know you want to catch huge fish every video for it to be a "great video" Clayton, but videos like this are a great balance of content and quality :) more realistic for the average angler too. Forgot a piece of gear and improvised, kept the positive mentality and made a day of it catching fish. Fishing is a grind sometimes and we will grind it out with you :) Thanks for posting!
Clayton looks good in red!
:)
Jay isn't a member.
What a bum
garmin and eskimo! i like the changes! great vid! stay safe this year!
5 hours and 3 keeper walleye! That would be my best day of walleye through the ice ever! You da man Clayton!
Love the new Eskimo sponsorship Clayton!
Lookin sharp!!!
Cheers!
Glad to see The Big red company step up with you, as your content is top notch
They stepped up in a big way! Appreciate you watching!
Curious why you switched loyalties from Otter. Financial decision or is it a better product? I understand either way but genuinely curious
LETS GOOOOO!! i see your an Eskimo man now. i absolutely love them great customer service
Im a tried n true eskimo and heat hawg guy, just taking me a minute to adjust seeing clayton using eskimo gear, love it!
Looking good in the eskimo gear!!
The two hole tie down was pretty genius!!
You know Clayton I would watch the video even if you didn’t catch a fish. They are so entertaining so informative. I get take home information from everyone. Keep them coming. excellent video.
The look on your face when the ice shifted was AWESOME!!!!
that bug was called a backswimmer and they can pinch carful holding them. :)
Jolly Man in a Red and White Suit! The season is here! Making Eskimo look good Clayton!
Cleaned a rainbow last winter....completely full of water beetles.
I have yet to notice in pike or walleye myself.
Sweet first ice! Am more than ready to get out already.
Northern Sask awaits....
New heater??!!
Stay safe!! And yup trying the heat hogs this year. I think :) I still have both

I'm SW of Traverse City. Was just wondering if the UP had ice yet. I'm chomping at the bit too.
@@outdoorswithrandy No good ice anywhere yet. It's supposed to hit 46° soon. So what thin ice is out there will be destroyed again. The wait is so hard!
Thanx Clayton. Got the cold weather but still around 30 days til safe ice here. You’re my ‘proxy’ for now. Tight lines …..
Hell yeah!! Ice fishing time again.
Nice new gear your sporting brother. Liking it 👌
I cant wait for ice ear on lac champlain for Big Crappie and also i order some Frostbite dinner Bell and also that Meat locker rod and reel diesel 1000 ...i cant wait to try them 🤗

You are the Walleye whisperer sir. Love the videos. Appreciate all your knowledge
Appreciate you watching the videos!
Clever way to save the day with the makeshift peg/tie down. Be careful with the water beetles. They do bite and it's pretty painful when they do.
Love the sound of that ice!
Me too!
thats a good sound so ive been told it scared me last year when a friend took me out on the bay here in duluth @@ClaytonSchickOutdoors
@@jeremycloud5720 it’s making ice yup :)
And another season on the ice with Clayton! Woo hooo!
Ya buddy!
My chain pickerel ponds have froze up enough. But that stupid stupid work thing keeps getting in my way! Grr. Hope your season is a smasher dude!
Hello from Higgins Lake Michigan. Another month and a half I too can probably go ice fishing
You’re the man Clayton! Thanks for all the awesome videos I sure do appreciate it bud👍🏻
Can you do a chat or video about why the switch from hummingbird and otter to Eskimo and garmin? Love it
I have mentioned it in some live chats, but I will try to do a video the next time I head out :)
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors awesome man thanks for the reply. I watch your videos religiously
@@dillonjohnson3736 sure appreciate you watching them!
Would have never thought about securing an ice hut like that! A great trick I will be sure to remember if I am ever in the same situation. Thanks for sharing.
Love it!!! Winter ice is here! So awesome.
So glad to see you on the ice. I am getting excited. I see skim ice on small ponds starting!
Clayton always dropping those first ice bangers.
I just dropped one 🤷🏼♂️😝
So glad I’ve fishing is upon us! Not quite yet in northern Minnesota but very soon! No more otter shelters??
Heck yea glad it’s ice on time! Can’t wait till I get some down in the states! I’ll be living vicariously till then.
Love the ice shift!! That gets us all at some point. One of my absolute best days was chasing lakers and the ice was going crazy! Fishing in maybe 40 feet of water.
Nice to see some Eskimo gear! I can't afford the otter houses myself lol.
Very happy with the gear so far!
Awesome video... Thank for getting outside and you made it on the ice...
Thank you for watching!
Really digging the new shack!
It’s so nice seeing you catching picky without a bait on your spoons Clayton !

Let’s go! Send that ice down to MN, just bought my first livescope today
Hey clay how did you mount your head can I just got a GoPro and was just trying to figure out a good mount for hunting and fishing
The ice quakes freak me out. That’s why I wait for late December. Thx for getting out there for early content. Much appreciated. 2-3 weeks and I am out there!
Great to see you switch to the "good side" with Eskimo! haha! 😉 Cheers man!
When you forgot your anchors, I thought you were going to tie treble hooks to the hut and bury the hooks in slush to anchor the hut down, if it's cold enough these freeze then spud them out when it's time to go
I remember when my livescope was me layin on the ice starrin down the hole. Cool setup Clayton and way to make it happen. ❤️✌️👍
Btw, we have lots of those big water beetles here but never see them in the fishes guts.
Nice to see you made the leap to Eskimo!
Carefull Clayton , i heard them beetles bite 😅.Congrats on a good days fishing ,even though you cought a bunch of dinky ones.
Liked, commenting and now watching start to finish. I love perch!
I'll come pull your sleigh for ya man lol ! Good on you for not just going out but sticking it out and catching a few. Last but not least your solution for forgetting your pegs was awesome

Ancilius diving beetle and fish especially trout hammer those .
Stocked trout eat a lot of giant diving beetles like you saw come up your hole. Not sure about other gamefish, but worth a shot!
That's fishing...I appreciate you still sharing the video, even when it's not the best fishing. Still always things to learn.
Took a while to get used to seeing you wearing Red but I think it looks good on you!
Go Eskimo!
Nice to see some first ice vids! Tough bite and I too blame the noisy ice. "A video with no fish"....believe that's called a podcast
Podcast. I like it 😂
Those waterbeetles are really efficient when icefishing for arctic char here in Norway! They love those big snacks!
Was out yesterday on the river and we have 6”-8” everywhere I went!
I’m fishing off a dock right now because too cold for a boat but not cold enough for safe ice. I put my camera down and saw walleye,bluegill crappie bass and a northern
Thanks for the video, I can’t wait to get out there.
Stay safe and good luck out there :)
Would love to see you do some whitie vids this winter
I would like to see a backwoods camping trip and survive on what you catch
Looks like the otter is gone. That red is a great color bud
Trout love those big water roaches but I don’t think they can digest them very well. I caught a big rainbow last year with one of those stuck half way out it’s ass!
Glad to see you are with Eskimo. How to do like the Garmin as opposed to the Humminbird
The livescope system is 10 times better or more than the mega live. I still like my humminbird for some stuff but not live imaging
Thanks@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors

Clayton! Good to see you back in your natural habitat! Otter shacks not cutting it anymore for you? I'm a Otter guy.
Otter shacks did good for me. The change is more for the channels future and being able to fish for a living. I tried the shacks for a bit before I made the decision as well. I think when I first started Otter was making a superior product, but it really seems like Eskimo has stepped up their game and I am very happy with them! OH! Best customer service ever!
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors we run a Monster Lodge full door version this year. I'll give Eskimo a look too tho.
@@bigel8857 they both make great products!
I can't believe the "Fins" on that one little Walleye biting that lure that was almost as Big it was!😎
Early ice got to love it
Starting to get a little ice here in 'Sconnie, but the temps next week are not favorable. Impatiently awaiting some frozen water therapy.
I’m sure fish eat those beetles but their sting is super painful so I don’t think id be threading em on a hook😂😂 , my heart dropped when u just picked it up bare hands awesome video ,I’m getting excited for ice 🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾
I got nailed by one later that day! hah!
I love the sounds of making ice on the lakes. I find it soothing! I have missed it for so long. Still open water here, cooler temps next week should start making ice hopefully.
12" Perch?! Next place he'll be swinging is in some Grease!!! Ice Perch is my Favorite!! 😋
Love your videos would you share your live scope settings please?
Can you do a video of your Garmin settings to make it so clear.
Love the Red Eskimo, it suits you well! Almost look like a red wings fan 😜
Clayton ya Donkey!
Nice save on those anchors!
Love that you're on ice man. We'll have ice by January lol
Send some of that ice east please..! Hahaha! 😂 Nice striped meanies there, gotta love it!!
Like the new gear Clayton that's sweet you went with Eskimo, i love my quickfish 5I
You know it’s a good day when Clayton posts👏
I notice you're using different gear this season. Back to garmin, new eskimo merch and hub, and a different heater system.
Was using the heater the end of last season :) As well as the Garmin, but Eskimo is new for this year you bet! :)
Lucky You ! Nice !
I see you traded in the otter for the shitimo hub. I never thought I’d see you ever changing shelters.
I’m not disappointed in my switch at all to be honest. Otter makes a great product was always happy. I have other reasons for switching.
Right on Clayton! I was able to get out this week and just dropped my first ice video of the year 🙌🏻 feels good to be back out there 🎉🎉
How do you stay warm when you sleep in your truck during winter?
Hey brother how are ya? Loved the video thank you. Not being an ice fisherman those weird ass cracks noises wow how unnerving. The one loud and long one would have sent me to shore.😆
Haha :). Sometimes noises are better. Means more ice is being made :)
That ice is banging loud for sure
Yup!
I don't ice fish and those ice sounds are eerie. New gear looking good!
The sounds don't bother me, but it is weird listening to them all day.
Nice perch 👍
What is the shelf you’ve got that goes on the side of the ice tent? That’s awesome and would be amazing for my Eskimo fatfish!
That’s the arc lab wing man shelf :). Would work great in your shelter :)
As soon as I seen this I was excited
That Eskimo sweater looks good on you. Must be super cold because your mic was picking up the ice noises. 6” inches and building more
Will you be at the st Paul ice fishing show
What is that pole holder that attaches to the poles of the hub shelter? Who makes it?
Great video Clayton, can’t wait for more to come.
New videos always excite me

Do you record with active captains helm?
Bring on the ice, just bought a 106sv and a Lvs 34 can’t wait to use it
