I used to bank fish Chabot. Alot of good memories at that lake. He passed away 6 months ago. We fished many places that you show in your videos. Thanks for helping me relive the memories.

@madd0g1539 2 года назад

Now I don’t feel so bad for renting a boat spending all day out on that lake and not getting a single bite. Chabot has humbled many a fisherman.

@GIGANIGGAWARFARE 2 года назад

By humbled you mean the fish are stubborn sometimes or there's not many fish in general

@sr3281 2 года назад

Watching this video made me feel so good about how this place just sucks and how all those times I went out there and caught nothing wasnt my fault

@mcmho Год назад

I agree…. why is Lake Chabot so difficult.

Cause all yaw don’t know how to fish 😂

@Suhdude13 2 года назад

Hey Greg. I really appreciate you putting a caption on the video explaining “A rig retrieval” and how to do it. You should do that more in your videos. Would be a great way to teach people some skill. I come to you all the time to learn and pick up new skills. Thanks bud good luck out there.

@oldschoolhawking8191 2 года назад

Like a lot of commenting fisherman, I too fished Lake Chabot from 1966 to 1973. Back then you could rent a 12 ft aluminum boat for a $1.50 a day. We'd targeted rainbow trout, crappie, catfish, carp and largemouth bass. Also, back in those days you were allowed to fish around the marina, that's where most of the fish were at. Thanks for the video though, brought back memories, that's for sure. 😎🎣📹👍

So Deadpool caught the record bass in the lake 😆 damn yall need superpowers for that lake. Love the vid Greg tough fishing but it's part of the game 💪🏿🎣

@BobbyOfEarth 2 года назад

I pitched a worm on a lay-down and caught a 10lb. bass (large north bay, eastern branch) ..that pulled free, however, I did get on the Big Bass wall of fame at Chabot, back in 1978, with an 8 1/2 lbs. bass.

@kiiingKT 2 года назад

Thank you soo much for fishing this lake!! I’m still trying to get my first bass here and love seeing your approach.

@jasonmpease 2 года назад

Always happy to see a new video drop. Hey man, we all have skunks, especially so early in the season. You threw everything at them. Still looked like a great day on the water with good company. Can’t beat that.

@ahhdat 2 года назад

I used to work at the Lake Chabot years ago. During the summer, I drop shot night crawlers around the island and I was catching bunches of them between 10 and 12 inches. I always go there trout trolling and did great at that lake just trolling night crawlers. It's been years tho.

@MrGogogordo 2 года назад

Don’t feel bad Greg, I’ve been to Chabot a lot. I’ve only caught one bass and about six trout in the last 10 years. Pretty typical of that fishery unless you go every single day. Probably would’ve had more luck on the Delta. Good stuff either way! Keep on fishing!

@GregBlanchardFishing 2 года назад

oh man, the delta probably would've been better and thats not saying much! haha

@rbd6661 2 года назад

The famous lake Chabot… most pressured lake in the Bay Area. I’ve only caught bass, and trout, there late in the evening. Like right before the sun goes down. Other than that, I have no luck any time of the day. Like if I wanted to get skunked, I would go to lake chabot. Haha.

Always appreciate your videos, Greg, but this one got me super excited because Chabot is a home lake. That lake is an emotional roller coaster for me. In the spring it makes me feel like a champ, in the winter it makes me feel like a chump. Your skunk made me feel better about myself. Thanks! ;)

@trainrunnersantafe1 2 года назад

I was there back in the late 60 -70. what a improvement on the pier an store. Pan fish for dinner. We lived in Hayward and travel by AC transit ( bus) Pick us just down the street from the house and drop us at the lake. My brothers and I would fish all day and spend 2 to 3 bucks on food and bait. The bus trip home 10 cents. wouldn't trade those days with my brothers for anything. What a video thank you Greg Blanchard.

Bringing back lots of memories Greg. I worked on that boat dock for 2 years a loooooong time ago. I personally weighed in several 10 pound bass on the scale there at the boat dock, I had high hopes you'd do good there!

@hobbylottery5014 2 года назад

@Double Bogey Bass since you worked their can you answer this for me? Why did that lady ask Greg and his friend if their kayaks had been out of the state and fill out an inspection form before they could launch? I’ve never seen that before, is it something they do in California?

@DoubleBogeyBass 2 года назад

@@hobbylottery5014 It was over 20 years ago that I worked there and we didn't do that back then, but I am sure it was in regards to the Zebra Mussel prevention. That would be my best guess.

Reminds me of today, went with the kayak to a newer place I have only fished a few times, from 8am to 12pm I threw everything at it, flipping jigg, swim jigg, crank bait, top water frog, senko wacky and Texas and not a single bite. Meanwhile my kids are in the dock with some night crawlers cleaning up.

@thatfishingnoob 2 года назад

Just got home, good timing! Time to relax and live vicariously through you 👍🏽. Have a good weekend sir!! I can’t imagine a nearly 20lb bass lol. Of course Deadpool got it 😂 Dang man, sucks that you lost your hud first cast. Final edit: dang the skunk! That’s motivation though to start working on a video I have that I was debating on editing because I got majorly skunked lol.

@cecapfishing9882 2 года назад

I made a DIY lure retriever with strong wire and lead, with a strong line attached to it and you can send it down your line to grab on the lure and literally break the stump or open a hook, pulling with your hand on the strong line since I've made it, never lost a lure again due to snags (had some fly away due to birds nest tho hahaha), fishing weekly or bi-weekly for the past 10y It's like a cylinder that slides down the line and past the lure, since it's like 15cm diameter and then I just yank the lure or the snag itself

Love the videos, especially waiting for the ice to melt in the Pacific Northwest. Can you do a short video on that knot you use. Your to fast tying it in the videos. Grew up in the Modesto and lived in Napa and have fished most of the lakes you go to so a blast watching you fish them. The Delta is a Disneyland of fishing, at least for me. Variety in one place. Keep up the videos.

May I suggest Sierra 1/2 oz. spoons? For a situation like this, when the usual stuff in your kayak's kit isn't working? Let them sink, then do an irregular retrieve. You might be surprised! (and these spoons are very economical, too.)

@locallyrigged8554 2 года назад

When the bite is tough on a lake that just stocked a bunch of trout I normally switch to sierra slammers on a small underspin. Shad color. I will normally land a bass or two but if not worse case you will land some trout. 🤷🏻‍♂️ good video Greg.
