Nothing better than a Greg video to start your morning! That was a rough day of fishing. I feel like if they are mid-suspended you should use a spinner bait. I find it interesting that you dislike the spinner bait so much. It’s my go to. A nice big spinner bait with a nice trailer can cover a lot of water and get those fish that are chasing bait. Tight lines!

@justind5276 Год назад

@andrewjacobson4587 Год назад

Well, sometimes it’s just like that and regardless what you do, it’s going to be a tough day. Although it’s not sexy, on T-day, I’ll deadstick a flatworm on a dropshot, or drift fish a small C-rig presentation, just to pick up five. Chasing schoolies on the topwater bite is a sure way to drive yourself insane. Good luck at Clear Lake - you got this, buddy.

@GregBlanchardFishing Год назад

Thanks man! Saw Bobby Lebeuf the other day and we went down memory lane with the old KATs tournaments. I think a C-rig would be money when it's tough. Lots of guys throwing it and getting bit when even the go-to finesse techniques aren't producing.

@MattMillardOutdoors Год назад

Greg you should dry a deep diving Jerkbait for those suspended fish in clear water. I know it’s generally more of a cold water bait but I think it’d work. A swimbait on a jig head would probably be solid too

Dude. I've been struggling lately on my Yak as well. Transitions are always rough, but they should be going shallow soon for the fall feed before going deep for winter.

@davidcampbell4981 Год назад

Well Greg, unfortunately that’s summer reservoir fishing in California with low water, the fish are all jacked up from all the water releases and are suspending. I fish Folsom lake, fishing is tough. Although fishing coves with brush stick up are surprisingly productive. Plus, fishing outside rock piles. Summertime is tough, fish on boys!!

@gregellingson7584 Год назад

Greg I am living your pain, it has been a grind the last two tournaments for me.

@catchofthedave8681 Год назад

Dude Same.......I just fished a tourney in my KY series and did badly, it was a tough day. I caught 1 fish at 12;30. Then with 30 mins left in the tourney, I think I figured them out and caught 2 NICE ones near the boat ramp. 3 fish got me 19th out of 52 so it was tough. But it bothered me as to weather I figured them out at the very end so I am going back tomorrow to try and redeem myself. I never did that until just this year when I started fishing some hobies and the such.

@KI-dc9ok Год назад

Try it again Greg! I like graphing any V shape shoreline where it looks like substantial drainage occurs during the rainy season. Good fish in summer will be 40-50 feet at Berry and Shasta this time of year. Clear water means small leaders and slow finesse baits. I know you hate to slow down but drop shot with the smallest weight that gets you to 40 ft and in control of your bait. Good luck!

@markleonard284 Год назад

Maybe you should have tried a weighted whacky worm or a neko rig. just a thought. keep up the great videos.

@hawjfamily321 Год назад

@callingallbassmorgan339 Год назад

Dude love this channel catchem or not. I’m not sure if you do this but I wanna say I’ve had luck doing it. Every time you change spots and got the motor going throw and bait of any kind out behind you and troll that mug.

@pmm422 Год назад

Yup, watch Damian's video he was off shore but he uses live scope a little too. I think it really helps him find the fish. looked like he was fishing a couple of humps right off a channel, (not sure that was berryessa now that I think about it) But still holds true particularly in the summer you need to look a lot deeper I think. Curious what the surface water temps were. If they are above 78-80 then for sure you need to look deeper.

@bigjnorcalfishing506 Год назад

Growing up at Berry (Rancho Monticello), the baby bass pattern medium dive crankbait was pretty solid.

@aggressiveanglerz2859 Год назад

3 things may be worth a try... #1) a slower crankbait retrieve #2) keitech on an underspin #3) Whopper Plopper or Choppo for Topwater

@ryanfrost1527 Год назад

You’re a much better angler than I but I have learned with the crankbait bite that you really need to put attention to the way they are biting it if it’s barely hooked on the back hook like that fish was on yours try different colors which you probably already know that just thought I share. Love the videos though you’re my inspiration to take up Kayak fishing which I’m working towards now. Keep it up!

@fishnrc294 Год назад

All that gear & electronics & still a tuff day out. Now I don’t feel bad fishing from shore with one rod & my fishing pack. But also shows how hard the bite is this season. With all that gear you increase your chances by a huge amount. But when the fish decide they’re not going to bite there’s simply nothing you can do except keep throwing your line out. Not sure why the bite has been so difficult this year especially in California seems like.

@garycox6169 Год назад

@cobbs Год назад

He's also using panoptix with a spotlock trolling matter to hold position over deep water. Greg needs to get these two pieces of tech to be more consistently competitive. Guys like Damian were beasts before forward facing sonar and spotlock. Give them the advantage of these two technologies, and it's game over more times than not.

@patrickmcgee6917 Год назад

So this is just my 02cents. I’ve been hearing a lot about good night bites. And that’s what I’m thinking is going on at Bessa or any lake for that matter. Small baits and spinning rods during the day I think is the ticket. Check out Bass Union. They just did a video with Johnny Pearl up at Clear Lake. And that lake has been really tough during the day lately. And it’s because there’s a big night bite going on. They the fish are gorging at night. So watch what Johnny does to catch some fish on rock during the day. Totally makes sense. Fish small baits. Spinning rods if you want numbers or to just simply catch fish. Good lesson for everyone out there. Check it out.
