I’m an older Kayak fisherman who loves your videos. What’s cool about it is that you take the time to explain the conditions and your lure choices. Adding jigs and trailers; using your presentation and retrieval techniques have translated very well to the small Kansas fishing lakes I frequent. You are an inspiration, and I appreciate your dedication to the sport. Thank you and here’s wishing you the very best for 2024!

@MSmith-jf5wo 3 месяца назад

Well, Jim, you're not the only "Older" 'Yak fisherman that Loves Greg's videos! Lol... I've been watching Greg for 6 plus years, and he's been teaching me a lot about baits, 'Yak gear, and how to find the "Right Combination" to catch the "BIG Ones"...! (He's also the reason I bought a Titan, too!). I loved the review of the Titan X he did, so that's my next 'Yak. The Titan X in a 12.5 length, with a Newport 300 motor/batt. setup, and maybe a live scope for my Garmin (gets a little "pricey" when ya add everything up, doesn't it?). Haha! Good luck fishing in your 'Yak, stay safe, and have a great time. (Written by a 78 year old!). Lol...

@MSmith-jf5wo I'm 60, and am searching for a pedal drive yak myself, thanks to Greg..! I want to start fishing some tournaments.. I really hope there's not an age restriction involved.. lol

@ericstanley8003 3 месяца назад

Hey Greg, when you stay in hotels and places where you leave your kayak out in the back of your truck, how do you protect it from getting stolen. Could you do a video on your overnight stay preparations, theft protection, what you bring in the hotel, battery charging, next day prep..etc. I love the all the fishing videos but this is something I have never seen really discussed to protect your investments and prepare for success on the next outing. Thak you and tight lines.

For me, I have tie down points in the bed of my truck. I use a bicycle cable lock. Run it through a scupper hole and through a tie down. Dozens of camping spots/hotels over the years and never had an issue.

Coffee, and G.B on the water. 💯 Greg, appreciate you breaking everything down, the way you do. And listing the baits, always telling us what depths, etc, in your description you list. 😁 🛶 🎣

@Casitascrawlers 3 месяца назад

What a great day to be out I know we have storms coming so it’s the calm before the storm. After another round of rain the all waterways should be full our local lake is up to 80% & it’s been many many years since it’s been as full as it currently is it looks like a whole different lake & the water line is close to what it once was. Nice to see you finding fish this winter seems like other years it would shut down but not the case this year.

@gijoe_outdoorlife 3 месяца назад

Such a nice Fishing Kayak setup! 🔥🔥🔥

@NOMINracing 3 месяца назад

Slow mornings can get very discouraging, props to you for sticking it out. I've always had good luck throwing a smaller lipless on points, weed edges, ect. Until I start getting strikes. More or less finding aggressive hungry fish then scaling down to worms or other more finess baits. Maybe something to try when you're grinding it out and the bites slow. Thanks for the content and keep up the great work!

@rileyoneal775 3 месяца назад

Great video Greg, I love fishing a shakes head. I think the bite feels a little crisper compared to a jig and it really has excelled for me in grass. Glad you got some confidence in it!

@raffy313 3 месяца назад

Not sure how deep you were using it, but shakey heads have always gotten me some of my biggest bass offshore around deeper structure. Like you, when I first started using that technique it never became a go to or confidence bait till I forced myself to learn it and the best times to use it. It's become one of my favorites. Bigger bass seem to live it!

@Jake-ky9ed 3 месяца назад

Good stuff man always!! Funny to see you use something close to an old Texas rig worm? Not quite but you’re almost there! 😅 cheers man sounds like a fun week you got going on look forward to the vids of it all

That first bass you hooked was a Labrador fish! LOL! It was amazing to see those football bass you caught! All healthy and fat! My favorite way to drink coffee, viewing the best editing when it comes to fishing videos on RU-vid. 👍 I have those occasional days where the dropshot fish don't stay on. WTH??? Of course, my husband Rod tells me that I'm supposed to reel and not set the hook ha-ha. Easier said than done! Thanks for the Shasta adventure 😊

@oakland-as-diehard6717 3 месяца назад

Last time I was on Shasta , it was basically a Ned rig bite the whole trip. I never really threw it before, but my buddy swore by it and it worked. Sprinkle in a few drop shot fish as well.But man, love that place either way. 🤛🏼💯🎣

@Sheddtycoon 3 месяца назад

Greg you are bringing back old memories to me. I grew up on Lake Shasta. and Pit river arm was always my favorite area . A black Jig around the tree bases was always an easy way to get a limit. Love your vids. Have fun my friend. Bill

Great video! The shakey head is a staple bait where I live...It is what you throw when they aren't biting anything else, and it can be very productive!

@barrycates7360 3 месяца назад

Great video. I've had a lot of success hopping a ned rig off the bottom when in that situation. Unlike the 5" worm, it gets the bite closer to the hook.

I really enjoy (respect) you showing the good, bad and the ugly of your trips. I feel you have a really good mix of narrative and quiet. Your narrative doesn’t feel like the stream of consciousness dribble I see on other channels. Some old guy advice on breaking knots; wet your knot before tightening down and then tighten the knots low enough to prevent heat from scorching your line. Tight lines and I look forward to your next video.

@GregBlanchardFishing 3 месяца назад

Thanks Stephen appreciate the kind words. Been doing it for awhile now and really just trying to take folks along with a day of fishing

@blakec755 3 месяца назад

@GregBlanchardFishing 3 месяца назад

you'd be correct

@blakec755 3 месяца назад

It's definitely not my favorite bait to throw but I prefer it over a dropshot

@allaroundfishing1013 3 месяца назад

Nice job buddy way to put that technique to work I told you I was watching for it. You're catching fish that are eating crawls with that worm, you will catch fish that are eating shad when you add a swim bait to the shaky head. Have you ever threw the spro little John MD crank? That's one of the best cranks that just flat catch fish for me in Tennessee

@JoKenFujitsu 3 месяца назад

Feb 9th was officially my 1yr of bass fishing ever & I have to say shaky head & fluke has been my two confidence baits. I guess Ned rigs get the edge when it comes to fishing the two. Shasta & Trinity lake are on the list of fishery. A 4hr trip needs planning (maybe spring/summer)

Greg, I'm building out my titan x and am trying to copy (for the most part) your layout. Can you do a much slower paced video showing how you mounted your mega 360, routed your motor lift cables, and installed your net holding devices, paddle holder (among other items). I'm sure you've got a LOT of people trying to do the same thing I am. Why did you choose to put these items where they ended up (i see you've moved them since it started). what problems did you run into that you had to resolve; for instance, I purchased the mega 360 pole holder you have, and it appear there isn't enough track to put it with the graphs but that is where you have it so did you replace that track? There currently isn't any good titan X build out videos and i like your setup. thanks!!!
