Hey Clayton: from a viewers perspective it’s a lot more entertaining to watch mega live. Versus your days of the flasher/graph. Looking forward to future ice content with it.
That is the biggest reason why I wanted to get live imaging, 100% for the viewer. I do not believe it catches you more fish, but what it does it help you learn about behavior a little.
@@THor-hi3sc Likely going to use it quite often. I am sure there are times I won't, but I enjoy learning. You can learn from watching it to, about fish behavior.
Checked 12 lakes yesterday in Otter tail, Fergus Falls MN area and mostly all open water still. So it looks like I will just be playing with all my ice fishing gear in the garage a few weeks longer then I wanted.
You have the best ice fishing vids in the game. Excited to see all your amazing content this winter clay. Thank you for taking the time to have excellent recording for us.
Love your shows, pretty much watched everyone now. Always get me hyped and want to go fishing. Really enjoy your talks about the equipment, personal opinions and technics. Keep em coming.
I ice fished as a kid, but didn't really get into it until last year. You've been a huge inspiration and source of knowledge for me. Made some upgrades this year and can't wait until lakes lock up here in MN. Super excited for your content this year!
Ive fished for nearly 30 years for walleye around oneida lake in upstate NY I've caught a single eye at 30" and I was 14 at the time. GREAT FISH you make it look easy got you a sub
Noticed in one of your other vids you use tungsten barrel weights on your dead stick rig. I've only been able to find 1/8 oz for the smallest. Do you have a source for smaller sizes? I've seen tungsten split shot in smaller sizes but would like to get away from the split shot style.
Hey Clayton, love the videos. Dying to get out on the ice here in northern michigan when it finally hits. Have yet to pull a walleye through the ice, hopefully this year will be my year!
Awesome video! Finally got to do some walleye fishing yesterday no monsters just eaters but it was still fun. Got 6” of ice on the small lakes about 3” on the main Churchill river
30 1/4. Let's Go!!! Talk about setting up for a hot year! Can't wait to see what comes next. Pays to be lucky, but experience pays off as well! Congratulations!!!
Oh wow can’t believe the lake is frozen over. Awesome going to have to get out there. And a 30” to start the season “Not going to lie” that’s going to be tough to beat
Clear ice, i've never seen it before. That mega live is unreal! I'd be so guilty just watching that monitor more then anything through the entire day! First fish of ice fishing and you got my PB from the whole summer already.
Nice to see safe ice out there. We have 2 ft of snow on early ice😞. Lots of slush. Looks like a need to head south for ice fishing. Who would have figured? Nice way to start the ice season for sure! Tanks on ice….. love it! Laker livescope is going to be killer!
Just ordered some of the jigs you showed off. Can’t wait to get them and use them! Love watching your videos and seeing you catch fish especially big eyes! Good luck the rest of the season and can’t wait for more videos!
Another spectacular vid! To be that close to your truck and nailing walters that big…! It’d make my month to catch that 24” even if I had to drive an hour and walk a mile. The 30” would be the fish of my life. Keep up the good work bro!
catching a 30" Walleye as your first fish is like birdieing the first hole in golf, no where to go but down from there. great fishing though, big ones to remember and eaters for dinner!
Really like that new equipment. To bad I can’t afford all that fancy stuff. Don’t get that often anymore. But really enjoy your videos. Thanks Clayton. Sorry I missed the ice show in Winnipeg.
hey Clayton! what is the blue ice line braid you use? Is it ice tec, suffix or just regular power pro? Would help a lot of you could attach a link or exact line. Thanks!
Getting everything ready here in southern MN. I think I'll be driving North next weekend to go find some ice. Maybe Alexandria area? I can't to try my new Helix 7 Ice!
Clayton you just got me so pumped for the ice season!!! Still open water southern Minnesota! Hopefully in a few weeks there will be fishable ice!! Also appreciate the ice safety video needs to always be addressed no such thing as safe ice conditions are always changing! Keep it up buddy, I'll be waiting for those pike I fish pro vids.
The biggest difference is the True Grit is a Carbon rod and the Digger is a Fiberglass. The Carbon rod has a little more feel to it and the Digger will load a little bit more into the blank which makes it a great Dead sticking rod. If you are going to be fishing with it lots actively I would do the True Grit :)
Great video as always, crazy that you don't have 10x the subs man. You deserve it with the amount of work and effort you put into it. Thanks for the vids man
Quick question Clayton and this may sound dumb because this is my first year going ice fishing by my self and I don't have a Flasher with me. What depth do you typically target when going for walleyes and what do you typically look for when fishing for them?
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors always. And btw once lake of the woods freezes in a week or 2 you and Jay should have a lotw jay vs clay most fish/ biggest contest. I think that would make for a sweet show
God dang dude this is getting me pumped. Got a lake here in Central MN thats almost ready to be on and fished. Just picked up a couple different dinner bells to try this year as well! Keep at it buddy! Great videos
Cool video! been watching you for a while just subscribed. Do you ever use tip ups for walleye? Or have you ever had the chance to use crawler early ice?
Tried fish tacos for the first time tonight after catching some walleye yesterday. My goodness have I been missing out. Keep the videos coming... Now I know why you always talk about tacos 🤑

What hummingbird model is this
And it's about that time I start rewatching all your videos again. Can't wait for ice this year. But still got the best season to come
Awesome start to the season!! Anyone else remember when Carter was small and shy on camera?? growing up right before our eyes!

Adison, where do you live in Mn? I live on Mille Lacs and I am offering an invite to come up fishing. Hit me up if you're up this way.
First ice is here in central Minnesota small ponds are at a clear 3 but the lakes are in rough shape. Thanks for being awesome
Be safe and have a kick butt season!
You consistently have the best ice fishing videos on UA-cam year after year!
Appreciate the kind words!
Hey Clayton,
What’s your thoughts between the mega live image versus the Garmin livescope if you’ve had the chance to compare?
There's a photo posted on Fish lotp with 2 guys fishing near the bridge, wonder who it could be
That was not me actually!!
Ice Fishing looks so fun! Will have to try some day
You should!
I thought you might talk about the mega live a little more on how to use it being your first time out with it.
Still learning more about it.

Right? so lucky!
What a start Clayton. NICE. So excited for a great ice season. All the best from germany buddy.
Cheers my friend!
Love the live imaging vid clay! Gonna need to stay with my helix 5 until the price comes down though on the live imaging.
I hear ya 100%
Quiver Spoon is my go-to in 1/4oz (gold)..sooooo many walleyes and big northern pike on them
Such a good spoon!
Hey Clayton, love the videos. Dying to get out on the ice here in northern michigan when it finally hits. Have yet to pull a walleye through the ice, hopefully this year will be my year!
Hope you score with some Walleye this year!
I would like to see you use the live scope for trout
Nice fish Clayton. Way to start the season. Hopefully our season down in the states start with a bang as well. 👍
Awesome video! Finally got to do some walleye fishing yesterday no monsters just eaters but it was still fun. Got 6” of ice on the small lakes about 3” on the main Churchill river
Can you do a setup video? Rod, reel, line, tips & tricks?
Will have lots of videos like that this winter :) Each video I try to cover something different :)
I love early ice... So cool when you can see them through the ice. As starts to a season go that's pretty darn good 👍
I agree, I love watching them so much!
30 1/4. Let's Go!!! Talk about setting up for a hot year! Can't wait to see what comes next. Pays to be lucky, but experience pays off as well! Congratulations!!!
This was 100% luck... :) Lucky it didn't come off at the hole too!
Great way to start the ice fishing season! Hopefully a sign of what’s to come!
Right? Fingers crossed!
I just caught a 35" Pike at lake oh the woods.
Awesome video Clayton. What an amazing start! Nice to see ice forming in the southern regions. Charging up my batteries right now. Haha
very cool! Good luck out there!
Nothing like smoking a huge monster for the first walleye of the hard water season! Nice job brother!!!
So lucky!!
Great video can't wait for my favorite walleye spot to be safe! Nice fish!
Love it!! Nice! Thanks for sharing. Have to get those spoons.
Those spoons are killers!
🤯🤯 Giant!
Used up all my luck this year already....
Hope not! 🍁
Here in Minnesota we dont have ice because its to windy for the lakes to freeze but thats nice to see you fishing with fresh videos
Hopefully soon!
Late to the party, but your laugh when you catch a good fish - love it!!!!
Appreciate you watching the older videos too :)
Attaboy, Clay! Always nice to see those surprise lunkers get landed.
Sure is!
Can you add the purple trail to the live for the next video?
What a Toad Clayton!! That Mega Live looks deadly
It sure is fun to watch!
Perfect way to start the hard water season!
Unreal way to start for sure!
Oh wow can’t believe the lake is frozen over. Awesome going to have to get out there. And a 30” to start the season “Not going to lie” that’s going to be tough to beat

Oh man.. Hammer time.. Good luck this year. Good to Carter on the eyes too.
He is gonna slay some big eyes this winter!
Hope he gets some biggins this year.

I’m MEGA jealous that you’re out on that lake already slaying monster walleye.
So lucky!
Holy Clayton, really setting yourself up for a stellar season. Good work
Hope it is a sing for things to come!
Going through some of these old videos Clayton...did you use flasher up until this point?
Wait maybe not

HAH!! I hope that is not the case!
legendary start to a season!
Haven’t even watched it yet, just that thumbnail gets me goin!
YES!!!
What a great fish, getting pumped for the season here in MN. Another great video, love your enthusiasm!
Be safe out there, but have an awesome season!
Really like that new equipment. To bad I can’t afford all that fancy stuff. Don’t get that often anymore. But really enjoy your videos. Thanks Clayton. Sorry I missed the ice show in Winnipeg.
Most important is just to get out and enjoy it when you can, you don't need fancy equipment to enjoy the outdoors :)

That is an insane first walleye man I wish I had that luck nice. Awesome vids keep up the great work
Yes it was 👍, and less than 100 yards from the truck 😜
Pays to be lucky!
Clayton with another banger video!
Ya buddy!
Great Video Clayton!!! Rock that ice!!!
Ya buddy!
Hey Clayton, what line are you running?, been noticing that blue line in a lot of your setups.
You guys have ice already?! Wow!
You bet!
Great video of the mega live. Of the subject a little, what kind of gloves do you have and are they really warm?
Striker brands Combat gloves, best gloves!
I always watch your videos specifically because of your camera work Clayton. Love the graph and the rod tip. U da man!
Thank you for continuing to watch! :)
Clayton you just got me so pumped for the ice season!!! Still open water southern Minnesota! Hopefully in a few weeks there will be fishable ice!! Also appreciate the ice safety video needs to always be addressed no such thing as safe ice conditions are always changing! Keep it up buddy, I'll be waiting for those pike I fish pro vids.
There will be Pike videos for sure! Be safe out there!
Let’s go! So excited to get out there! I always wait longer than others to get out. Can’t wait to try out my new Otter X-over.
Nothing wrong with waiting for a bit!
Clay… 🤯 WHAT A FIRST FISH!
Better to be lucky than good!
It does not matter what kind of electronics one uses that chase up is a BLAST. nice lil rocket brother
so true!
Is this at LOP. Loving the videos. I'm getting excited for this season already. Wanting to go out!!
Is the mega live set up the same one that’s 2900 on hummingbird website?
No, I made this one on my own, but it would be VERY close.
That’s a good way to start the season! 30 plus!
Unreal way to start!
👍🏻 old adage … the good are lucky and the lucky are good Clayton. Sweet fish!
Very true! Cheers man!
Congrats on the 30 1/4 buddy! Great start to the hard water season!! Fish on brotha
Unreal start for sure!
Mega live looks addicting
It sure is!
Hey man awesome video, wondering if youve used the frostbite truegrit and digger. I wanna know if there much of a difference other then the inch
The biggest difference is the True Grit is a Carbon rod and the Digger is a Fiberglass.

Good to hear from you :) Cheers!
Clayton what rod were you using on the hog walleye?
That was the True Grit from Frostbite
awsome fish! way to set the bar high for the season!
For sure, it has been set now!! Cheers!
Sweet video, awesome first walleye of the season. I'll be getting out on upper red lake this weekend finally hope to slay em
Good luck! Stay safe!
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors always. And btw once lake of the woods freezes in a week or 2 you and Jay should have a lotw jay vs clay most fish/ biggest contest. I think that would make for a sweet show

God dang dude this is getting me pumped. Got a lake here in Central MN thats almost ready to be on and fished. Just picked up a couple different dinner bells to try this year as well! Keep at it buddy! Great videos
Right on! Love me some dinner bells!
When Carter says :"ouh...", It's because something realy good is coming !!
Heck ya!
Just sat here watching you while waiting for ice to form, tight lines
Won't be long!
I know you probably said it a hundred times but what leaders are you running for Pike I forgot the brand
American Fishing Wire :)
How much run time are you getting with your Mega Live on that 18 AH Dakota lithium baterry ?
Used it all day and I was still at 66% at the end of the day. I am going to be doing a 24ah as soon as it gets here :)
Clayton, did Humminbird discount the price or provide you with this unit?
I paid full price for the one I am using here.
What brand of transducer ice pole is that?
Arclab Motor Sport, Ian Cranston. Look them up on facebook. Amazing pole!
What a nice first ice walleye!
So lucky!
Hey Clayton, what’s your go to walleye ice line? What are you using in this video? Thanks
Using Sufix 832 braid and so far so good!

It is so amazing to watch! Already so addicted!
