Trying to get away from fishing “history” and decided to try a lake I’ve never been to in Northern California.

Great to see you get that groove back exploring new waters! Got my first tournament of the season under the belt with a 2nd place finish. Used your process to figure out the puzzle on a tough lake and had success! Thanks for being such a great teacher through your content! Tight lines from the PNW!

@amorton94 Год назад

What process is that?

@mdepeel1 Год назад

Breaking down water, bait selection, mentality

@uqox Год назад

This is a very, very nice spot. You can tell by the fish size it's not over-fished and that consistent bite means not stressed. Super schweet. I have a spot like that that requires me to hike in. Very dense vegetation and then just a very calm lake. Lots of casting but when I get bit, keepers! Big work out of the casting arm but very satisfying. Great video! Love seeing you explore new water.

@briansacha51 Год назад

As usual Greg another outstanding video! Just beautiful scenery in N California

@StevenR_Fishing Год назад

Love breaking down new water! Keep up the good work my man. I’m trying to grow my channel and you’re a huge inspiration, sir!

@davidjhomrich Год назад

I'm in the same boat as you... Trying to grow my channel and Greg is definitely the standard for kayak bass fishing!

@StevenR_Fishing Год назад

@@davidjhomrich I’m not a kayak guy but fishing is fishing and he keeps it 100% honest.

@Sparxxx08234 Год назад

Music made this video even better! Love watching your videos Greg! Keep up the quality videos!

@gmanadventurer8892 Год назад

New water makes us go back to basics and confidence baits. And it doesn't hurt that when it's on, it's on!

@sandybowers5085 Год назад

Such a beautiful day at a beautiful lake! Weird how those few fish had those gashes on them? Btw, I LOVE the music❣️👍🏼I’m here for the relaxation, scenery and always love the music 🎶

@benhunter4041 Год назад

Loved the video! Great to see my favorite fisherman at my favorite lake. There are some BIG fish in that lake.

@dethrotjethro Год назад

🤫 🤫 no there isn’t. He caught the biggest one there. Nothing to see here, move along 🤣

@drewlake3776 Год назад

I love watching your tournament videos cause I bass fish on a boat, but you do it on a kayak and it is impressive to watch

@socalbass758 Год назад

Awesome vid! Who needs breakfast when you got GB this early!!!

@bbowen4629 Год назад

Thanks Greg, went out first time last weekend. Skunk! I suck at early spring fishing. Thanks for the video.

@HookEmHeavy707 Год назад

FINALLY!!! I've been telling you to fish this lake for years!!! (Not that I'm anybody important 😂) Hands down one of my favorite off the radar, local body of waters. I'm a little late to this vid but if I knew you were fishing here I would of been watched it. Love this lake, frog bite in the summer is amazing! TONS OF GOOD GRASS. Paused the the vid in the into to type this, can't wait to press play 😂👍

@GabeFishingSF 4 месяца назад

Where is it? I think it is San Pablo but don’t know

@paulziebell2479 Год назад

Wow...new waters you say??? I'd say new favorite to the rotation. Great spring day sir. Congrats!!!

@scottcameron3559 Год назад

That's the joy of the game for those who get it,new adventures catching is great but it's the whole package that matters,protect the game,

@johnzeetee6747 Год назад

Your music is fine Greg. You can’t accommodate everyone who watches your vids.

@clintallard912 Год назад

Don’t lie to him it’s trash

@leolldankology Год назад

Music does not belong on a youtube episode. The only exception is if there is a time-lapse in it. Natural sounds are much better.

@awildgrendel7148 Год назад

Yea it’s kinda annoying.😂. Just need something calm or nothing at all.

@questor_xl Год назад

No music please. Plus it's too loud and is a distraction from your words.

@vibinwithlou8261 Год назад

I like the music Greg, and I think the fact that you have 27k views in 1 day on this video means your doing something right. 🤙 Love this channel and part of what makes it special is the uniqueness of the music.

@hc_gabe4078 Год назад

Spinnerbait is one of my favorite baits. Consistent year round and around all types of cover.

@ronaldmcdonald3965 Год назад

I caught my first fish there......58 years ago. I hope you enjoyed it there. It has evolved to quite a nice fishery. There is a mix of large mouth, small mouth, some steelhead, stripers, and sturgeon in the nearby river on your way out.

@jaipoh3965 Год назад

I like the supermarket music.

@weshunter1796 Год назад

A couple of years ago, I stopped using plastic trailers on spinnerbaits - wanted something more compact at the time and liked it so stuck with it. I haven't really noticed any significant drop or increase in the number of hits I get, but I have noticed a huge drop in short strikes. My theory is that you're more likely to get short strikes if you use a trailer and should probably use a trailer hook. But with no plastic trailer, no trailer hook is necessary.

@thericcardihomestead6337 Год назад

I didn’t bring the net because I catch more fish when I don’t bring it. Spoken like a true fisherman lol

@bradrtorgersen_videos Год назад

It's always a fun day when you try a new location you've never been to before, and the fish are biting. Nice trip, Greg. And as always, quality video. 👍🐟

@valenor916 Год назад

Pretty cool seeing some different bodies of water. Wouldn't mind seeing more of these! Tight lines

@shedgrown3539 Год назад

Best fishing channel on YT!

@kennightingale516 Год назад

It feels great to go to a new body of water and dial them in. Great job Greg.

@funnyturtles8954 Год назад

That second fish was phenomenal, great work Greg. I love your videos too!

@nealrussellfishing5339 Год назад

Love the comment at 20:15 regarding not bringing the net. I have the exact same philosophy

@Jeremiah-oo2ue Год назад

Man your honestly a man with skill that big one was crazy

@predwards8941 Год назад

That subsurface strike was my favorite!

@predwards8941 Год назад

Spinner bait and swim jig are my go-to moving baits. Especially how “4x4” they are. Also, even as a viewer it’s cool to see you tackle a new body of water.

@jmcook9441 Год назад

Area fifty one is my favorite spot. My home lake. And yes I've had top water Action as early as February in the past. It is a very cool place 🐟

@Paul-zv7uy Год назад

Trailer hook is a must for spinnerbait/buzzbait

@powellajosh Год назад

I usually dont comment, but I was vibin to the jazzy tune at the end there and felt compelled. Another awesome video sir 😎

@TimHaunFishing Год назад

That was pretty cool. I would not be dissapointed to see you explore more new bodies of water.

@donkswampey3874 Год назад

Did anyone else catch that Borderlands reference lol? Greg you seem like a Borderlands guy, only the best of us are 😂

@LunkerHunter Год назад

Love when you explore new places. Great video!

@wadesimpson7236 Год назад

That Ghost minnow dawn Frittside is an excellent bait in my area as well. Keep up on the bass fishing and enjoy life, well I was going to give you a thumbs up but can't find the darn thing on the computer.

looks like youre gonna have to add this one to the rotation might as well fess up looks like del valle

@davidpickens6916 Год назад

Cool…. Quality fish, new waters. Nice day… sounds like a great day…

@aidennunnally3585 Год назад

Hey Greg you have to come out to lake Sonoma you should launch at yordi creek if you do come out which I highly suggest the bite has been picking up I promise it won’t disappoint largemouth and smallmouth. You can get them on reaction or worms whatever you want really there is a lot of trees along with grass, bushes, and rocks. There’s deep, or shallow pretty much all you can ask for in a body of water. Great job out there it’s the best feeling when you fish a new body of water and do what you think should work then it does.

@GogoFish421 Год назад

Such a good bite out there since the major rain we got in March. The high water levels have been key while fishing new submerged structure. Hopefully GB can make the drive out here..

@aidennunnally3585 Год назад

@@GogoFish421 I agree it would be worth his time.

@stewdumplings7847 Год назад

Who wants to see Greg do a Canadian fishing trip. Can lend you my native titan if you ever wanted to try southern ontario monster smallmouth.

@HBXLOutdoors Год назад

Congrats on Saturday.. what a heck of a tournament! Holy smokes after getting out there myself hands down got to give it to you and the guys that is a lot of hard work out there you guys put in.. I kid you not I watched and I learned more than I could have ever have with your videos. That damn I cannot get down fishing with plastics.. I know I just need more more practice which I will work my best at. But if you give a brother any pointers on line.. I have been having an the hardest time with the fishing line I have been trying. I would really love to just find something that I can stick with that works. I guess it's on to tolloch reservoir for me.. hoping for some redemption.. your hard work definitely pays off.. Great Stuff brother! Me and my wife have both learned a ton!!

@jaysonelam8321 Год назад

Whaaaat? I’m the first person to comment on a Greg Blanchard video? Of course another awesome video. Always look forward to each one . Great way to start the day. Keep them coming. Thanks for all you do to bring good content Greg. See you soon .

@derekramirez2193 Год назад

Frog fishing at that lake is pretty good. Also throw big baits and huds by spillway. Island usually hot spot but water is higher than usual. Lots of cover punch punch punch.

@brianmcquinn5897 Год назад

Video idea. Borrow a mega 360 and a mega live and test them both out separately. So curious which one you would choose based on the way you fish!!! As always, thanks for bringing us along.

Was this at new melones lake? There was a kayak tounerment there last week and as i was docking my boat i saw santa i ask if u we re there? He say yes ur somewhere out there... was hoping tp catch u 1 day greg

@davidwilliams1805 Год назад

Great video! Love your adventures! Appreciate you sharing!

@gerryhazelton9569 Год назад

Greg , those weeds def hold fish . My nephew showed me a trick last week and we slayed them . Belly weighted screw lock and a swimbait ( gambler ) we’ve been catching them in 6 inches of water . Places I never thought would hold bass . 2-3 lbs consistently in Massachusetts

@arthurelgato7 Год назад

Absolutely slayed them out there the kayak is exceptional your able to move around compared to being on the bank but what a day you had the vids are amazing!!

@chrisclark1326 Год назад

Soft plastic swimbait, VMC weedless swimbait hooks or maybe on the flashy swimmer ! You can fish through the densest of cover ! Works for me

@jherv2385 Год назад

If that's where I think it is, the frog bite is awesome in the summer!!

@benhunter4041 Год назад

Nice!!! My favorite spot. Hope you enjoyed it. Just started video

@perpanator4951 Год назад

Hey Greg! Your videos are awesome! Do you ever think about making videos on other Freshwater fish? I know you done videos in the Ocean before but seeing you Catfishing or fishing for Pike would be sick! I am not sure if those fish even exist in California but would love to see some videos on that! Keep up the great work!

@bradrtorgersen_videos Год назад

If Greg ever hooks up with NDYakAngler, that would be one heck of a video. I wonder how well Greg would do on all those whopper smallmouth NDYakAngler has out in his part of the country? Heck, NDYakAngler could go out to Greg, too. Similar style and quality of video. And of course, I always hope to see Greg get more trout. Even if they're on accident. 😁

@derekramirez2193 Год назад

Scares are from the eagles and ospreys. Always see them grabbing lunch

@Andre-mw3hq Год назад

Greg, your video's are awesome and thank you for making them! I love your garage too! I noticed you store your kayak on a cart with wheels. What a great idea!! What kind of cart is that? Where could i find myself one like that? Thanks again for all your great content and keep up the great work 👍

@donpanico7708 Год назад

Hey Greg looks like you have a new place to add to your rotation of places to fish. Top water bite should be fun when the water temp comes up. Fun video as always.

@kerrypitt9789 Год назад

Greg it would be cool to pack everything up and hit the road and new water for four to six weeks

@hc_gabe4078 Год назад

Would love to see more of you exploring. Great video. Also not sure what all the comments abt music are for but I like it personally. I think it could be a little quieter when your just talking to the camera, but otherwise it’s a chill vibe.

@ohellz510 Год назад

Greg, we need to link up one of these days. Your videos inspired me to get a kayak, which I have. I fish that lake almost every weekend. Lmk next time you head out that way. Also, will you and O fish the UFC this year?

@brucepreston3927 Год назад

Great video! I'm sure it feels great to start catching some fish after all the rough days on the delta...I really wish my local river will turn on also, but It just hasn't happened yet...It doesn't help that we had some flooding last week also

@David-qo7lz Год назад

Two items; one, approximately every sixth reel turn give the rod a pop. It makes the blade flash at a different angle and triggers strikes. Two, fix that noisy seat! Man, it’s irritating. I used tape to help silence my seat.

This is why I always try to find new water when I can. The less pressure the better the bite.

@bassinbilliards6279 Год назад

A lot of Kayaks go here all the time. It definitely sees some abuse.

@GogoFish421 Год назад

This lake isn't as busy as the neighboring bodies of water, but trust me it gets it's pressure especially from shore. That's why a kayak is essential out here.

Osprey, Eagle's, and resident otter's scar up a lot of fish in that lake. Healthy ecosystem, the folks that do enjoy the lake do a good job picking up after themselves.
