“Close Quarters” Fall Bass Fishing on the Delta

[@snu2930]

Nothing better then some morning coffee and a Greg Blanchard video

[@brodymike8285]

For real

[@jacenchrisbaker]

Your ability to fish a 7'6" jig rod sitting down never ceases to amaze me. I'm struggling with a 7'3" heavy and here you are hitting targets like the pro that you are, Greggy.

[@sorberlytotal]

I throw my 7'9" xh swimbait setup while sitting, definitely takes some getting used to

[@gavin_t]

Wow that's pretty interesting haha. I fish 10 1/2 ft rods on the kayak on the ocean 😂. I took a little getting used to for sure lol

[@JtothamothaFinC]

wow thats pretty crazy haha. i fish a 40ft rod on the kayak, definitely took time to get used to.

[@DigitaLIon781]

Thank for sharing your fishing adventures here on KZbin. What you do isn't easy. Deciding where to go, preping the 'yak and gear, getting out on the water, keeping the commentary PG, and editing in post. Duplicating your efforts is hard. I appreciate what you do! You are always positive and produce great content.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thank you sir! You're spot on. Lots of work but very rewarding to me as well!

[@JLDoss]

The accuracy of him guessing weight is awesome

[@01XLC]

Years of fishing will do that lol

[@1221Ralph]

How so? He was close but not spot on.

[@JLDoss]

He guess the weight exactly like 3 times lol

[@1221Ralph]

@@JLDoss no he didn't. Are you referring to the fish he guessed at 1 and a half pounds / 2 and a half pounds? If so, both were 3 ounces short of the half lb mark.

[@davidpye7828]

If you put work for it it’s not hard, at the start by weigh something u bring fishing something easy that weighs 2-3 pounds then u can compare and give you a more educated guess, if it’s over the weight of whatever you weighed you will easily tell.

[@reelyoungoutdoors]

Love watching your Delta videos. Lived there for 22 years, grew up on the Delta, and it’s nice to see that Mount Diablo skyline again.

[@vichaisfishingtrips1146]

Welcome to the squarebill club! This is why I love throwing them. They work and catch fish of all sizes!

[@TmoneyProductions]

The quality of production of these videos make this arguably the best fishing content on KZbin

[@michaelsanchez3659]

Can't believe Greg hasn't blown up on KZbin yet. This guy is so entertaining to watch!

[@Thaiyote]

Launch there all the time 🔥🔥🔥

[@rickdecker694]

Where is he at? I never recognize those green berths when he launches here. Too many places nowadays charging $15 to walk down a kayak like Rivers End.

[@Thaiyote]

@@rickdecker694 that’s pirates layer at the delta loop

[@definitiveenergy1]

Mostly fish offshore Baja but now doing some serious bass fishing. Love the channel.

[@coreylahey1711]

I think Greg is one of the best KZbin bass fisherman. I would bet money 💰 on him vs anyone of the Googan guys and prob just anyone period. Learned alot from his videos

[@jaysonelam8321]

Crank bait has definitely been on this fall along with a lipless rattle trap! Look forward to the tournament video, catch’em up!

[@jodycromer5710]

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST HOOK SETS EVER!!!!!

[@josepuchal9706]

Enhorabuena por tus videos i tus logros!un saludo desde españa!!!!

[@dontnonowuno9953]

it was fun watching you get on cranking bite.mixing it up appeals to me as i rarely get on fire bite..but even when i do im always mixing it up after a few fish to try and get the feel for different techniques.that,and to get my moneys worth on all my crap!

[@Bobslayer-qg5pn]

your content feel different from other fishing youtuber's... thats what makes you special :)

[@mseibel2355]

I’ve pulled my kayak up that parking lot slope. No fun! Nice work.

[@tylermiller7594]

My favorite area to fish! My dad used to live in one of the trailer parks on the loop, I didn’t mind it, All the Fishin I wanted

[@toddwalker5102]

Gonna be a long Tuesday that's for sure. Always great to have a nice long Greg B video to relax an burn one while watchin him rip lips. Always great video an hardwork

[@L0rd0fTh3N3rdz]

Thanks for explaining why you dont tend to use cranks much. Another fantastic video.

Colorado over here sunny and nice, then the next day 1 foot of snow😂. Love your vids!

[@MSmith-jf5wo]

'Nother great video to watch this morning, Greg. Thanks so much for taking the time to make these... (I'd be out on the water right NOW, if it wasn't gonna rain over 2 inches today/'morrow, in 48 degree weather!). Haha!

[@greg-leftguntersville-ridd9748]

I liked the subtle slomo on the boat flip. Idk if you've given it a try but a wake crankbait can be pretty deadly as a search bait over shallow grass. Good luck on Camanche!

[@Texarican1]

Back at it again. I appreciate the time you put in to make the videos for us to enjoy.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thank you William!

[@chrismartinez5163]

What an awesome spot to cruise the yak thru. Good video, Greg!

[@briansacha51]

Not sure how people keep giving you thumbs down on the videos but I totally enjoy watching. Continue the great videos!

[@ionlyplaysober1100]

Hot oolong tea, fat joint, and a Blanchard upload. Perfect morning! Howdy from Texas Greg! 🤠

[@georgebrewster7861]

Nice numbers and catching is always fun even if they are small ones. Looks like a fun time with that crankbait. Tight Lines!

[@kumaboyy.7443]

Nice day on the CA. Delta! Enjoyed the vid, Greg! Good Luck in the TOC! I fished Camanche once a long time ago and did not do well there, either!

[@PotatoGobbler_]

Loving the videos, Greg! You've been killin it. Keep it up!

[@jringbassin5924]

The weighting the fish makes this vid a 15/10

[@markbright7958]

Tanx Greg !... Some happiness in this difficult moment...❤🎣🧘‍♂️🎣❤ 😉

[@Thumpaholic]

10:34 get the big scale!

[@ballzybaits4414]

Oh hey! I know that launch! haha. Good ol stomping grounds!

[@_bassadd1ct_]

I love that spro for bumping rocks. Try a more buoyant shallow diving crank when you're around the grass and you can even finesse it over the top, pop it free (or just fish a lipless 😂)

[@patrickdavis2614]

Thanks for another great video i really enjoy watching your videos I learn a lot from watching so thank you

[@sstig13]

Firecraw jackhammer might be good along that rocky bank....

Hey greg I love your vids and watching you fish is so relaxing and interesting. I am just getting into kayak fishing and I was wondering if you could give me some tips for the delta? youre the best keep up the good work.

[@N1nja4h1re]

Dinks all day, is better than getting skunked. Great Video brother.

[@bradys.4935]

weedless swimbait time for the delta for this fall transition pattern. AND SOME SLEEEEEp

The old line burner. That’s all I could catch last week. 😂

Man haven't been fishing in almost a week cause of bad weather & a cold I caught. Itching to get back out. Thanks for videos!

[@kyle85x]

For the delta candy jig what colors and sizes on all!! Love the delta videos well all your videos thanks Greg

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Hey greg I use alot of shad and minnow artificial frogs, my favorite and crawfish artificial baits. Next season I'm going to try some live minnows and or shad. Gonna set it up like a Saltwater minnows rig. Have you ever tried live small baits. I purchased a small minnow net. And where I launch, when I go over my gear, there swimming on the side of my kayak. Was just wondering?

[@HamboneFishing]

I'm not much of a crankbait guy either but that'll change this winter. I appreciate you linking your cranking reel. I've been wondering which Shimano to go with.

[@noahbaru]

What is the purpose of the peg stopper above the knot on the jig? Great video as always!

[@dptrueoutdoors1221]

What’s the jig color and trailer I paired a bass patrolling with a flapping hog and did pretty well here in Alabama last weekend

[@Abe_Sinclair]

Also curious which color that is :)

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Great jig/trailer combo! Ah, its name is really long but something along the lines of purple cinnamon with emerald flake

[@Abe_Sinclair]

@@GregBlanchardFishing found it: "Purple Emerald Cinnamon Flake Purple Black Emerald Laminate" Of course I already bought the Dark Green pumpkin black flake because I have no patience... Fish USA owes you a commission.

@@GregBlanchardFishing Thanks for taking the time to answer. Enjoying your videos and learning a lot. Caught a few up north here using your yo-yo technique with a lipless.

[@Henfishitydog]

That little john is a great crank, but it can't do everything. It dives deeper than a typical squarebill and it's more of a spoonbill than square. When you're hitting that shallow grass, try a 1/8th oz speed trap when shallow or the strike kings. The true squarebills deflect grass better. Nothing you can do about hair algae though.

[@mikeryan925]

Nice work!

[@TylerGoesFishing]

I really enjoy your vids man makes me want to get a kayak

[@Chaos10691]

Quick question on your scale. You clip it on first and let it hang freely then you tare it. Doing it that way doesn't the clip get added to the weight of the fish?

[@buns52557]

Nice action look like your had a good day l like your made up crawdad jig bait l'll give a try. Place looks familiar Pirates Lair marina?

[@minhly4058]

Nice . Do you mind if I asked what marina you launch you kayak? Thx

[@quang922]

Hey Greg, big fan. Im new to kayak fishing, and I do want to use my kayak in the Delta. Would you be willing to share the location of where you launch your kayak, and park you truck?

[@rampantridge4221]

Hey Greg was wondering what hooks you use on your baits. Love the videos man you inspired me to fish tournaments and im loving it.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Ridge! (size 6) - fishusa.rv5k.net/QBPMx

[@frederickwestberry7895]

Awesome video Greg . I have a question for you where did you get the covers that you cover your bait at. I think that would help me a lot with my rod box in my boat. I'm tired of the hooks getting hooked on each of my rods

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

THanks! Bait covers are great and linked in the description!

[@dreamzcomtru4351]

What I do to catch fish is use a black and yellow crankbait and rip it through the weeds. You should try it, it catches a lot of fish

[@doncoe5070]

It’s wild how the bass will hit like crazy and then turn off completely

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Agreed! Bite windows are no joke out there!

[@fishdisc7022]

Get a Chatterbait in the same color as your jig and use the same trailer. Maybe just need to get a skirt in the same color.

[@geraldwagner7347]

Hey Greg where are those docks ? I am looking for a quite are to rent a berth at that I can sit on the dock & fish & put my kayaks in the water.

Power fishing from a kayak in general is tough. I seem to do much better when I do what you did in your last tournament, find an area that holds fish then pick it apart

[@p1rahnah]

hey greg, I love fishing and I am looking at getting a kayak, I dont have much money and was wondering if you have any suggestions

Thanks Mark! I actually have no idea since I'm always launching a kayak out there

[@PiperFishing]

Thought about having your reels serviced? Or maybe doing it yourself. Seems like your drag washers need to be replaced at least.

Where did you launch at....im at the delta now and can't catch anything tomorrow is my last day here can you help me out

[@dangermonkey7779]

I'm not familiar with this spot. But Sugar Barge is a good spot as long as you have the time to explore around. They aren't necessarily biting everywhere, and there's no guarantee of Tanks , but there is definitely a lot of fish, and it's a nice natural environment once you get a bit away from the launch and the docks. I am fairly new to bass fishing, but at that spot as long as you are willing to explore and try different things you will probably get on some fish. Its popular tho. Go early if you can.
