Morning everyone

[@rtarr12c]

I like the new style intro. The description of baits and when to try them is great advice.

[@Usuario-23]

Good morning folks!

[@jimfournier9065]

i like the intro with the gear break down for the day and why, it give me your reasoning behind them, very helpful!!!

[@sikamoreify]

Loving the latest format where you breakdown all your setups and then flash up the combo on every change.

[@Tasteslikethecolor9]

Heard your name on a kayak bass nation episode as one of the best kayak fisherman. That’s pretty cool

[@dontnonowuno9953]

Ngl,junk fishing(at least when your catching them on a tough day) gives me some odd delusion that im skilled.Also i like the fact i get to try all my baits and poles,fill like im getting my moneys worth😂😂😂

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha right there with ya😂

[@mdepeel1]

Excellent explanation and break down of rod/reel/bait selection. Look forward to the 4am PST GB videos every 4-5 days! Thanks for your commitment to creating great content! Tight lines from the PNW!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Appreciate it! Cheers

[@markphilippsjr]

What a great way to start off this Sunday😁

[@markd4542]

Can't forget that whacky rig! Saturday morning was a consistent bite, didn't have a reason to even switch rods til almost 11.

[@descantinginsalubrious]

I really appreciate getting to see the complete set up for each of these...rod, reel, line...thanks for that.

[@christianhurtado6095]

I’m ready for the fall weather too! Let’s go

[@josedz589]

Stoked to see you throwing the whippersnapper! As a big swimbait enthusiast it make me hyped to see you throw that! Continue to use that!!

[@carolinabasshole7064]

Good morning Peeps! 🤘😎 ☕️

[@callingallbassmorgan339]

Such a big fan of GB! Great break down of gear and just over all knowledge of how he fishes. Aside from the fact he’s in cali and I’m in ga, I apply his tactics to my fishing and all works out so cool 😎 thanks for sharing your knowledge with us GB. Keep at it!

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Greg, I learned my Cheetah Jig setup from you! I actually put a little scent on mine, and have caught some big girls. I really enjoy your Delta trips. I love exploring, and fishing different lakes. Thanks for another great day bro! 🛶 🎣 🌊

[@bobbymcdonald2531]

The worst day of fishing is better than the best day at work

[@fishingwithrick5804]

Thank for all the incites Greg, I always learn something with every video.

[@Topwaterteej]

Love the starting line up intros!

[@kevinhawes5849]

Love your videos! Great call on the bone choppo - last week on the delta crushed the am with the choppo and bone whopper plopper. Had one of our best afternoons ever on the delta crushing the rocks with a brush hog. Keep up the brilliant content! Cheers

[@tsjuno]

I went out there a few weeks ago for the first time near there and it was windy as hell. Tried fishing rio vista area and was getting sea sick. Then I see you go out there in absolute perfect conditions. I gotta get back out there.

[@ChandlerWrites]

Funny how so many of those baits didn't exist 30 years ago when I fish the delta all the time. My go-to in the fall was a crawfish Bomber 6A or 7A. Free video is always in the gear lineup at the start was interesting. Keep it up!

[@michaelrachal6111]

Hey Greg, thanks for the upload. Sitting here with a steak and beer enjoying the delta. Wifey asked a question.....can you explain your graph? Also she said it always has Abad glare when you show us the fish 😂. Thanks Man, KEEP IT UP!!

[@somthy123]

I’m not a bass fisherman but love your videos. Been watching you for along time but never see through I a rat or duck. Does it even works.. do a challenge acting frog rat and duck videos would love to see..

[@twowheeltrent5113]

Please go to tulloch on the 14th there’s schools of some giants especially during the fall

[@mr.v2689]

Greg do more colors of the sun hoodies plz

[@Abe_Sinclair]

I am bathing in hot coffee this morning! ☕

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

🤣🤣🤣

[@steverichardson8655]

Thanks for the consistent content Greg. I knew I could count on a new GB video to go with my cup of coffee before hitting the lake this morning.☕

[@sakelleys]

Good morning Greg

[@butapower]

@18:00 🐟jumped

[@koenchamplin1034]

I just realized how jacked Greg is from the beginning of this video 😂

[@WHERZWALDO24]

THANKS GB! Great delta info as always! Tight lines. !

[@lizsmith9948]

It may have been a brutal day on the water for you, but I'm glad you had the net ready for those toads! 😉 It was still entertaining to drink coffee to too. 👍 We're having a tournament on the 21st, so we'll see if the conditions are still a grind. Stay well! 🎣🤗🎣

[@lukeellis8507]

picked up my first kayak, the ascend 133x got a little trolling motor to go with it and even though im late in the year picking it up im excited to take it out a lot in the next month to fish! nice vid, makes me want to go out

[@Nate_Cross]

TBH, I only fish as an excuse to get In & Out Burger 🍔🍔🍔🍔

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha now is a good time to go then lol

[@mikem8502]

I’ve been wanting to order a sun hoodie. Grabbed one this morning!

[@MooseKnuckle8]

Gonna have to grab one of those shirts while they last!!!

[@jacobvela6348]

Way to go Greg

[@sparkynate91]

Up in the northwest, i like throwing lipless and chatterbaits in the fall. Seems thats what they respond to most up here. Or just a ragular jig works too

[@northbaybassanglers1068]

Headed out to throw 100 baits and not get bit once. I hate fall fishing. 😂

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha def some of the tougher fishing of the year but it's like a switch and it can get stupid good!

[@northbaybassanglers1068]

@@GregBlanchardFishing I lied. An I paired up that Yamamoto flappin hog with a Mr B Lure Company PUFFBALL jig. It’s your same cheater jig but with a wicked rubber skirt lay out on it. It was lights out flippin and pitchin all day

[@Danxiong]

I wonder if the Wizard is already working on GB’s Titan X….

[@mburke1211]

Before I even watch, i'm going to say that the size of the Chappo is more about sound frequency than size. If you have the right size in hand on the right day, you'll get a lot of bites. I don't necessarily think it changes the size of catches. My two cents :-)

[@greeksngeeks]

Consistently posting dope content 🤘🏾

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thank you sir!

[@raffy313]

Thank you for including a setup breakdown! Not the most exciting part of your vids... lol, I much prefer the 'on the water" action... but keeping us informed on what tackle you use, and for what situations they're good for, is really helpful!

[@johnkent9019]

It's been so unusually hot out hear lately in Central CA. We've been under a heat dome. Think it needs to cool off a bit to be true fall fishing.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Agreed

[@robertyamane9395]

I always like throwing lipless cranks, Lucky Craft LV-500 around rocks. Lakes and rivers, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you use them consistently around rocks. Have they not worked for you or is it that there is too much grass?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Too much grass right now but early spring and then in the winter when the grass dies off seems to be when they shine on the delta

[@Lethal1160]

Man, I have a "cheater jig" tied on year round lol. Usually never leaves me skunked that way. Even if it's a 4 incher lmao

[@russelll.8361]

The dinks are fun though!

[@josejuarez-650]

Gotta start making em on 4x

[@Reefsmith]

Love the channel liked and subbed and I really love your passion and effort to put into your vids and you are uploading a lot which helps me learn and I really Appreciate that and I love the video style and uploading a lot love the channel keep it up!!!!!🐠🐟

[@eell2864]

At Lake Charles in Arkansas, watching from my Ascend 12t. (Fish aint biting). Lol

[@dantecarpino7500]

Also did you see any Salmon rolling? Also wonder why they are still spraying this late. Thank you

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

No salmon and maybe only 1 small sea lion

[@dne3142]

Hey Greg, do you by any chance plan to visit NY this fall? Ive been catching fatties at the little lake id be honored to bring you to! My son still talks about meeting you at the award ceremony in seneca falls, that was definitely one of the highlights of our summer!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thats awesome man and great meeting you guys. I wish but wont be able to make it happen this fall

[@dne3142]

@GregBlanchardFishing understandable, my friend! For now we will continue to watch with coffee after the morning fishing trips!

[@bendover-uf9st]

🎉

[@barefootterry3785]

Thanks for the video, Greg. Is that a new kayak trailer? How do you like it? Been looking to get one, but I need to carry 2 yaks.

[@imotogoon9168]

Awesome video dude!!, I’m new to kayak fishing and it’s been an adjustment. Seeing you use rods upward to 7’5ft blows my mind. For some reason my 7ft rods feel like I’m using a street sign. Obv big adjustment going from bank to yak, anyone else feel like this?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha funny you say that as that's exactly how I felt when I went from 7 footers to 7'5'' and up but now definitely have preference in having both with certain techniques

[@imotogoon9168]

@@GregBlanchardFishing I just need to get use to the different casting motions while seated. I was tossing my 6’6 and 6’8 rod felt easier lol but yea still super enjoyable! Wish I gotten into it sooner cause winter will be here soon in Buffalo

[@hankcogburn2600]

I like fishing

[@Wicked03GT]

Slow down on the Whipper Snapper

[@ericsaelee2067]

❤

[@SMF89]

You forgot the Popper bro. The staple of Fall Fishing.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

For sure, got a few in the box tho!

[@nadechchang6443]

I am from Stockton but haven't fish here before lol, can you tell me where exactly this location is located. Thank you!

[@ThePigZebra]

Anyone else fish that old sunken boat before?

[@djamesslade]

I wish your shirts came in tall sizes

[@ReelEmN]

What trailer is that you are using for your yak?

[@GymRat339]

I’ve been fishing the delta every week for the past three weeks and you must be in the wrong location. Try central and north delta, I’ve been skating em, big ones too. You’re missing out big time. Maybe you got an unlucky day but it’s been on fire for me

[@twonhb28]

Poor Sponge….. Never getting any love. 😢

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Everytime I bring it out it seems the bite is super off😂

[@twonhb28]

@@GregBlanchardFishingparticularly on the Delta you need to dedicate an entire trip or two and just glue it in your hand. Once you gain confidence in it you will always have it in the line up. I do very well with it in NC. Anyway, long time viewer. I literally said out loud when you intro’d Sponge. “No way he throws it!” 😂 Keep up the great work! Tight lines!

[@worms1]

@6:20 where did you launch?

[@LetsGoBassing]

Where’s the merch link?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Should be in the description but it's www.gregblanchardfishing.com

[@LetsGoBassing]

Order completed! Thanks 🙏

[@Kyang800]

Greg lol

[@badlyniceness2315]

It has to be fun or why bother..don’t let fishing ruin your health..

[@scottszczechowicz5699]

1st😁

[@kk5fe]

Actually you weren’t…. Not that it makes any difference…. 😂😂

[@pdfahie]

Do you think switching different lures for different lakes is scientifically legitimate? We all do it but I feel for every lure I don’t use because “it doesn’t work on that lake”, there is a another person who thinks it’s “the deal” 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha fair point and I think it's just I have more confidence in certain baits on certain bodies of water right now. The change in lures is honestly more based on the Type of fishery above anything else like shallow grass vs deep/clear

[@pdfahie]

@@GregBlanchardFishing my dilemma is I prefer throwing certain lures more than others and often try fitting square peg into round hole 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣
