A foggy morning of spring fishing

[@fishingwithbdawg3620]

I don't know why but you should have over 500k subscribers. You are by far the best KZbin channle out there. Thank you for the great content everytime you the man.

[@scottbostic6247]

Couldn't agree more. I've been watching him for 3-4 years now. Definately one of the best and nicest most honest fisherman I can find. He should have 500k subscribers.

[@thatfishingnoob]

Stupid algorithm. GB doesn’t overhype his vids, doesn’t click bait, doesn’t obnoxiously yell and scream for every fish. He should have a TON more subs for sure.

[@910Volcomsnow]

GB n NDyakangler are the only 2 kayak fishing KZbin channels I’m subscribed too. This channel should definitely have 5x more subscribers!

[@thatfishingnoob]

@@910Volcomsnow lol same. I used to watch a lot of Ace Vids but haven’t much lately. Oh, Nolan Minor is cool too. I subbed when he did more bass stuff. He primarily does offshore commercial fishing now, but he’ll post a bass video once in a while.

[@southwestindianaoutdooradv4714]

Definitely agree best channel in KZbin for fishing and should have way more subs!

[@StevenR_Fishing]

Glad to see someone else throwing left hand retrieve! Haha

[@barefootterry3785]

Greg- “I’m going light today. “ Takes 4 mins to go through all the gear he’s bringing. 😂 Love it!!!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

guilty as charged😂

[@tztxz80]

His garage is better stocked than 98% of the fishing stores I've been in.

[@thatfishingnoob]

@@tztxz80 yeah no kidding. Talk about a bass cave. When he first showed us the garage I thought to myself “that’s basically a fishing store” 😂

[@michaelsanchez3659]

I'm glad someone agrees with me that bringing 7 rods is going light😂It's so hard to leave them at home when you go to select which ones to bring!

[@tims_always_fishing7117]

I usually have 10 in my vehicle 😅

[@FishingwithFishgall]

Greg, your videos are incredible. I love the grind you put in to make em. Best KZbinr out there

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thank you sir, appreciate it

[@davewoolsey1005]

That blueish algae you saw was from the city spraying and killing a bunch of the grass. It used to be thick up to 20-40 yards from shore. It was grassy all winter up until the last few weeks.

[@ChandlerWrites]

The tournament videos are fun to watch, but if fishing was all about competitive grinding, I'm not sure I'd still be doing it. Mornings like this will linger in the memory longer than a seventh place finish on some crowded lake. Great video!

[@rangers8729]

The sting of losing a fish, then says he stinks at fishing. I’ve watched too many videos to know that’s not the case GB! Keep them coming…

[@reelsimplekayakfishing3338]

Hey Greg, I wanted to offer my opinion on why you were missing those fish. See time stamp 25:54. The hook is pinned right in the corner of the fish’s mouth. You might have lost those bigger fish because the hook was landing in the same place but those bigger fish have really hard areas around the hinge of their mouth. Setting the hook harder is an option but you risk breaking your line. My suggestion is to change your wacky rig style to a heat shrink ring or similar method. This will allow your hook to point straight up and pin the fish in the top or bottom of the mouth. The rubber wacky ring method is simple, but requires the hook point to run parallel to the bait and impede hook penetration and it guides the hook to the corner of the fish’s mouth. Hope this helps, thanks for the videos! No doubt the best in the business!

[@Bassfishertv]

I never throw senko but because of you I started and caught so many in my last video on senko

[@jason_ryan_fishing]

Monday morning coffee sesh! Cheers ☕️

[@Agile47509chicken]

Cheers bud! Have a good week

[@johnneese6839]

They clearly wanted the senko. Next time try beefing up your setup if you notice fish coming unpegged. I know you like the spinning rod, but a baitcaster with 15-20lb line probably would’ve landed you more fish. Fish aren’t too line shy this time of year. Great video!! Always a joy to watch. I also met your buddy Romel a few days ago. Super nice guy! You have a genuine crew. Cheers🤙🏽

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

agreed! i bet these fish wouldn't be line shy at all

[@valtsipan9029]

Your garage looks like a tackle shop 👌🏽

[@brian9054]

Ever think of doing a rainy evening kayak buildout live stream for that new rig? Might not be as productive for you but I think many people would enjoy some tasty beverages in the process.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

might be fun for the future when i get dialed on these builds as I honestly dont have much experience but the 12.5x is now just about done and learned a lot in the process

[@fryeguy9939]

Morning Greg... That place looks like it might be pretty thick over growth in mid summer... Not much traffic either... I wouldn't mind trying that spot out if I didn't live in Wisconsin.. Thanks for taking us along with you this morning 😊

[@junewilliams5356]

You never disappoint greg .great fishing show as always. Let's goooo!! 😊

[@lizsmith9948]

Wow, the Senko getting hit on the fall! That was a dream day on the water - hooking a bass with every cast! It must be a nice change after the grind on Pardee. I'm lucky to not have hooked a carp, but I imagine it's like a catfish since they're both bottom feeders. I especially liked when you said mud gives your kayak character. Our Ranger has immense character LOL! Happy to see you having fun! 😊🎣😊

[@the_toxicbadger2547]

I always had problems loosing fish on spinning rods throwing wackies.I tried abunch of hooks and only found 1 that really worked and I also started throwing wackies on a bait caster I don't loose near as many fish.

[@jugularfishinghunting3381]

Greg I think it’s time for a bigger garage. 😂 love the content bro. Keep up the good work!

[@alikaaeto4439]

The wacky rig is my “go-to” bait whenever I go fishing. It always seems to catch fish…I love it! Thanks for the great content!!

[@paulferber7090]

When i fish at that lake with a wacky i use a medium heavy fast rod. I rarely lose a fish. Hook set is solid.

[@brucepreston3927]

It's good to see someone catching fish because I sure can't! lol...I really need to start throwing a wacky rig more, I never use my spinning rods anymore...

[@thatfishingnoob]

Always keeping it reel and having a solid adventure GB. Good stuff man.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thank you sir!

[@xsqed]

Wow the aspect of the weather is crazy. I would love to fish in these weathers better get my butt out there. 🎉

[@user-nx9wn5xi8O]

Had GB on in the officer while grinding at the desk. My boss walks in and asks are you watching fishing? I said not watching, just listening to the goat 😂 it’s about the vibes lol

[@marcosleon648]

☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️🎣🎣 good morning folks🤟

[@granvillej3316]

Wow Greg i really enjoyed this particular video and it’s because the way you analysis the lake the condition of the water to hunt for your bass. Like Peyton Manning on the football field you are Peyton Manning on a lake. It’s absolute pleasure watching you work out there a skillful technician with a rod and reel. Thank you so much for bringing us along in your journey! Take care and God bless.❤

[@stephensturgeon9310]

Another quality fishing trip! When the frog bite starts, try some buzz toads or the zman equivalent if you want to buzz a floater!

[@k.c.gillespie1452]

Awesome video as always, Greg! One heck of a day you had in this one! Keep the great content comin, man!

[@nykayaker]

Always great uploads Greg. Thanks again for your hard work to put them out

[@jackstein5486]

Nice change up video. Enjoyed your fishing in the slop up shallow. ❤

[@jamescanady3442]

Congratulations on 130k subs, man! I've said it many times before, but thank you for grinding so hard for us. Here's to another 130k!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thank you! love sharing it with this community, if not on YT, id still be fishing just as much

[@bigfah2506]

I have caught two crap on a jig. One was a finesse football jig and the other was a grass jig, both time the carp ate the jig like a bass would lol!

[@hankcogburn2600]

Love the wacky worm.

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Greg, really awesome trip bro. That little lake has some nice healthy fish! Can't wait to see the 12.5 max setup. I've been getting braver, installing my own accessories, and electronics now. 😂 🛶 🎣

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

haha right there with ya, drilling through a yak is a little scary but it all works out

[@TH-1988]

Senko worm's always a must in my arsenal. lol. 💯

[@scottszczechowicz5699]

👏👏love fishing juicy areas like that

Killed it with the wacky rig brotha. Nicely done.

Great video Greg as always Stay Safe 😎👍

[@scottbostic6247]

Thank you for this Monday video. Love it.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thanks Scott and welcome to the "other" page! appreciate all your support

[@Mark-dj5qf]

Thanks Greg! Fun to watch for sure.

[@chundle09]

You might want to try a hook that is perpendicular to the bait. The O ring sure helps make the worm last longer than 1 fish but can prevent the hook from fully penetrating. Worth a shot

[@Larry77777]

Yes. Perpendicular to the worm with two O-rings criss-crossed.

[@southernhollar2610]

I dont know if everyone got the same Ad i did, but I got an ad for the native watercraft that was your commercial. Super cool to see while watching one of your videos

[@glee0425]

good day when greg uploads

[@chrislove7195]

These are your best videos, just a chill vibe!!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

some of my favorite to create!

[@chrislove7195]

@@GregBlanchardFishing We need a New York video soon my friend!!!

[@Agile47509chicken]

Yep, this is why Roland Martin says the senko is the single best bait for bass. Keepin’ it simple!

[@heyjim52]

Some of those fish maybe picking up the bait and just moving it out of their location not really eating it and that could be why you are losing some of them. Still a great day on the water , I love those little lakes.

[@gkhan05]

Greg you should bring a fly rod for those carp.

[@Frewsfishn]

Getting realigned with the wacky I see!

[@GorillaStunter]

Can you do a tutorial on the knob setup…… I’ve snapped mine off twice at the bolt point think I’m using to small of a bolt long time fan always awesome to wake up drink coffee watch the videos before work

[@brandonmerideth5450]

I finally got skunked at my wintering hole! Now I just need to follow them into staging and then up shallow. Also that deeper ball is super useful for me when I’m at a pond and I don’t know how deep it gets or how warm it is but also when I take out my paddle board I can tie it off to the side of my paddle board and just periodically check my phone

[@greghammett7894]

Nice day on the water, Greg! I find I land more fish on a wacky without the o ring. Of course, I go through more baits, but seems worth it

[@TheFishinMortician]

Can't wait to get on some more wacky fish, they just started going for them again here to.

[@Casitascrawlers]

Looked like a nice day out we t out last weekend to our local lake & huge carp were all over no sign of bass I’ve been catching a few small ones but I know eventually I’ll hook a bigger one hopefully. I didn’t use a worm but I’ve caught a few on a soft bait & a few on a jig.

[@cyperme123]

Great videos as always, keep up the good work👍

Curtindo muito os videos daqui do Brasil 🇧🇷 🛶🎣

[@dontnonowuno9953]

Wacked em good! I'm telling you Greg,one day your going to T-rig weightless senko and shock yourself I love wacky rig senko ,but I will always have a 15-17 lb(or braid in stained water with grass) test MH rod set up that I can literally pitch anywhere.Those big girls love those tuli holes or nasty shallow structure spots ...one day 😊

[@cadenpennekamp2507]

Amazing video Greg! Always look forward to your notis

Great way to start a Monday! Where is the 12.5 you just picked up? Thanks Greg!

[@mvvlogs2308]

Man great video , gotta be one of the most entertaining out there. I’d love one of those slayer max working on getting one 🤘🏼

[@Longshot3531]

Yo I noticed after your carp snag that you were losing fish more often, I think it was your drag which is so important for wacky rigging. I always put a mark on spool and drag knob so I can adjust it back to the sweet spot actuately because all that time in to get your drag setting down goes out the window when a carp or huge fish comes along. Great video!!

[@bradleyhouston9037]

Lets all try to like and comment on every video this year to help our boy GB blow up the algorithm.

[@jmcook9441]

Hey G.B. this is my home lake. It fishs better when the lake is full.

[@southwestindianaoutdooradv4714]

Great video as always!

[@BlakeWilliams509]

Greg huge tip for fishing reeds and that they get into if you put 15 lb test on a bait caster and horse then in in that same bite/scenario you’ll land 2x as much while the senko on a spinning is beneficial this particular bite I think it would be better with a baitcaster more of a cast and let it sink bite

[@ctgilcrest]

C rigged baby brush hog, watermelon seed worked great is the lanes between the tulle clumps for me. Great lake once you get them figured out.

[@jonmartin6451]

When the carp are up in the thules at the top of the lake it makes for tough fishing. Best hit the Rockwall by the dam and the road bank

[@j.c.4438]

Have you ever carp fished (with sweet corn) out of the kayak? I know it's not your cut of tea but it's exhilarating when they're towing you around the water. Just a thought.

[@jamesschnell4919]

I'm surprised you haven't gotten yourself a micro power pole for springtime fishing like this. Have you ever considered one of those, especially around spawn time?

[@neiljohnsen276]

If it is in front of them, carp will eat a lure. I caught a 12 pounder on a small swimbait at Berryessa last weekend.

[@lazarovillarreal4618]

Great video and insight GB! If I may ask, would you be able to try a setup I use here in South Carolina? Using a spinning rod, 8-10lb test mono for a leader. Use the Zman Goat with a 3/0 offset or EWG hook. It’s like a finesse frogging setup. It works very well around the pads and grass down here. I use Green pumpkin color so bass see that darker shadow above them. Also, with the bait being softer than a frog, my hook up ratio is better. If any other Cali anglers have already used this setup, let me know how it works for you. Can’t wait for the next video.

[@zeppelin1n4]

Try a bigger size hook and slightly bigger line on a medium heavy rod for your wacky rigs Greg

[@michaelfaez9473]

Fun times.

[@johnnysaechao6218]

The senko bite is on at my local lake to! 👍use a longer shank hook and see if u can keep em pin better

[@solanodashcam1342]

Theres a lake in vallejo dan foley that you should check out.

[@GeovaniMeira]

nice day

[@pt16261626]

Lost fish could be due to the O ring. THe hook is horizontal to the worm. When I start losing them I either hook directly into the worm or use shrink wrap tubing to enable the hook to be vertical through the worm.

[@itsFisherMien_KO]

what a great day out bro..

[@bjrano]

Please don't take this wrong. I like seeing your boat dirty, to me that means you are more concerned with fishing that polishing. Great videos one day I'll see you at Clear Lake or the Delta.

Let's Go Great Coffee And Greg Catchin Fish. Fine job Greg,hey I guarantee if you tie on a bigger hook you will not lose fish just sayin. Thanks for the video bro.

[@callingallbassmorgan339]

Hook set man!

[@MakzFishin]

Have you tried the VMC Crossover Ring for wacky rigging? I picked them up recently and worked well for me while throwing the senkos

[@kalecastaneda]

I have better hook up ratio with a vmc neiko hook. It’s more of a straight shank hook you might try. I think it’s your hook. I also really like throwing 5in senkos on a medium casting rod.

[@ochowongo2354]

GB! Back at it again. I’m concerned about your 2024 trend of fish coming off just before landing. Hopefully this doesn’t last.

[@5rods5reels29]

need a more open hook. they are out there for wacky rig. And you could let them eat it longer. Not good for the fish though. you are the man, man!!!

Damn bro, water temps in Spokane Washington are still 48°

[@PursuitofGameOutdoors]

Water just hit 50 here in Michigan, but they’ve been biting for a while.
