Going back to the basics (Impromptu fishing trip)

[@davidfriedman6126]

I always like ur vids using traditional techniques, throwing all kinds of lures, casting all over the lake, putting in the time it takes to figure out the bass elusive behavior that changes every minute of the day and reaping in the rewards when it works..instead of pointing a spotlight and knowing Exactly where to cast every time..What @ STUD!! KVD...!

[@alexdockrill]

As a paddle kayaker with no graph seeing that kayak as "simple" is funny . Love the content as usual your the reason I got into this crazy sport. From one of your north of the boarder viewers.!

[@Bond-gz6vg]

Lol you and me both

[@caedenw4]

i had the same thought 😂

[@eell2864]

Yup, same here in Arkansas, US

[@poststalone1496]

You should try out a cheap Garmin 2D w/chirp. Best $100 I've ever spent. Well it was closer to $200 after getting a battery and mounting accessories but still.

[@alexdockrill]

@@poststalone1496 I have a Lawrence hook 5 . I have had so many issues and I seem to be spending so much time f-ing around with it it takes away from my fishing time . I don't fish enough to waste my time.

[@jgfleet]

The channel is starting to take off again! Congratulations on that and thank you for these videos. You're a huge reason why I bought my kayak and left the bank for the most part. Best wishes!

[@aTROLLthatBanks]

Popper is my fav summer bite!

[@gabe61willys]

Those trees screamed jig or dropshot on a real short leader. What a cool spot great fishing

[@Jerms84]

Those triple treble hooks are no joke

[@franciscotapia2781]

Glad to see you enjoying going fishing . I know those past tournaments you when I were tuff. Keep your head up and keep in doing what you’re doing. PS : nice to see baby face Greg😂

[@markphilippsjr]

I'm right there with you . I don't tournament fish, but I love to fish and I probably fish two times a week at least . I bring a rod in my truck everyday incase I might throw in some random Place. unfortunately, I'm stuck to the bank right now, but hopefully that'll change. I love it. I don't know. It's like in the DNA

[@chrishawk4527]

What you said about kvd is so true . When you can skip into those places that most anglers aren’t fishing your increase your chances greatly. The problem is dedicating all the time to learn to skip . Especially when you want to just fish .

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

wish i could find that orginal clip of him skipping docks with a popper. It was underhand casts, roll casts, skip casts you name it and every one was pin point

[@dragons502]

Yes, always enjoy watching Greg’s fishing video.Greg motivated me again,time for me to go fishing tomorrow.

[@ChandlerWrites]

"Hi, my name is Greg and I'm addicted to fish slime..." This is healthy for sure. Focusing on tournaments can be fun but it can also warp the heck out of your perspective and you lose touch with the reasons you started fishing in the firstplace. Love the back to backtrips in one video.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha definitely addicted and agreed!

[@CoachDave12]

Right?! The whole pre fishing thing " oh man there's a ton of fish right here but I'm not gonna catch them today."

[@ChandlerWrites]

@@CoachDave12 I remember making several trips to a super windy Don Pedro instead of an on-fire Delta because we had a tournament coming up there. But yeah, same idea.

[@lizsmith9948]

No coffee this a.m., but Mountain Dew before I take my 14 y/o Lab to the Vet for his monthly appointment. You sure managed to get a beautiful day on Berryessa - those submerged trees are my favorite spots to look for bass too! Two days on the water - a definite treat! Nice to see the Big Fish eventually paid off on the second day (probably because there wasn't a net LOL) Thanks for taking us out 😊

[@jamesvitale1712]

Which day use spot is this?

[@adammead8197]

Every sesh with you is nice man. Keep those heady beats flowing too. Thanks GB. Cheers

cheers!

Tug is a drug my friend and I can’t get enough.

[@granvillej3316]

Greg thank you for sharing another great day of fishing on a couple of days on the lake! Greg you have an addiction that doesn’t need a cure for! Tight lines sir take care and God bless.

[@troutheadadventures6521]

Another great video to go with my morning coffee. It's hot here in Big Bear. I can't wait to get back home in SW Washington. Weird, but the forecast is even warmer there. 😮

[@dangrady0311]

I’m getting real close to pulling the trigger on buying a Slayer Propel Max 10!

[@davelerner8461]

Loved that big one, that keeps you pumped for the next trip!

Man i was born and raised in Cali (Vacaville/Fairifeld)and man I miss those mountains, beautiful State!

Appreciate the content brother watching you smash em in kats in Texas got me in a kayak thank you

[@scottbostic6247]

I enjoyed this video. Sometimes it's cool doing this. Thanks as always for your video's man.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

appreciate you tuning in, Scott! it was a fun couple sessions

[@Casitascrawlers]

Thanks for taking us along this year after all the rain there’s fish everywhere it’s been an interesting summer the only bass biting are small fish around 11 to 12 inches but yours always one cast away from a big one so it’s like treasure hunting you know eventually your gunna hit paydirt. I keep seeing fish coming up & breaking water chasing bait but I noticed everyone of them was that same small size. Bass are so aggressive even the little ones try & eat anything I was watching two bass about finger size in a lip lock one was trying to take food away from the other & the small bass I caught was jumping out of the water & had another one following it. But those little fish are everywhere.

[@fishtankfishing]

New idea for Native kayaks, a built-in net, so Greg never forgets his. Native Titan-X 10.5 with the GB-1 mod.

[@Longshot3531]

Another banger, I've been fishing some spring fed lakes over the holiday and the underspin with that electric shad or AYU swimbait was my best friend. Cloudy days I put on a Colorado blade and the smallies were very receptive to it!

[@jeffjones4006]

I’m 70 and enjoy my 16 ft. boat but the kayak looks fun. Great video.

[@MSmith-jf5wo]

Great couple of days fishing, for you. Thanks for "Bringing us Along", and we wait (somewhat) patiently for the next time! (Like you, those "Spook type" lures seem to hook me like 25% of the time, when I use'em!). Lol See...? Ya CAN catch fish without all those "Fancy Electronics" on board (and I'm trying NOT to buy the Livescope for my Garmin, but it's hard Not to!). Haha!

[@southwestindianaoutdooradv4714]

Watching you get that hook in your finger made me think about a couple weeks ago had one flop and set a hook in my Achilles heel!

[@Jakethefishingguy]

This is the exact video I needed to see. Just ordered my slayer max 10!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

hell yeah! enjoy!

[@TH-1988]

If you're getting paid to fish...it's okay to be addicted to fishing. 🤣

[@michaelteaby1160]

For starters, in the beginning in those trees. I was screaming throw a jig, throw a jig! Lol

[@cloutmaster965]

Same flip or skip something

[@michaelteaby1160]

Flip a creature bait, weightless senior…!!!!!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha had the same thought and actually threw the jig for a little while up in those trees but no takers. Actually saw a bunch flee when that jig came near them. Think they were kinda spooky on this day

[@michaelteaby1160]

@@GregBlanchardFishing that’s tough when it’s like that 😫 especially when you see them everywhere🙏🏼🤙🏻

[@CatchEmKing]

good morning fellas!!!

[@mrmalone28]

Morning sir

[@coachruff54]

I hope the dark horse crew busts your chops for the pics with the earrings back in the day 😂

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

hahaha if they do i totally deserve it!

[@cmoua785]

You need to be fishing deep. You will get more quality size bass there during summer months. Choose points and ledges. Throw deep cranks, 10in worms jigs, spoons, etc

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Sir, is there a reason for driving with a PFD on? Sorry officer, I'm just excited to get back out on the boat, and fish. LMAO 🤣 Greg, you're a trip! 💯 🎣 🛶

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

hahaha, less time putting it back on = more time fishing LOL

[@thatfishingnoob]

Good time to watch while Beryl destroys the neighborhood lol. Lost another tree so far.

There’s a hurricane outside rn. But I’m in bed watching your new vid!

[@jeremypierce1607]

The talk at 8:30 on how you were using the Krej was super amusing considering Berkley swore that it was completely different from the Jackall Riser 😂. Love seeing the trip in the slayer. I still like to hop in my old outback or a passport with nothing on it and hop around.

[@shadow_frostbite]

[@fishingtimeletsgo598]

Thanks for sharing your two day fishing excursion - I am wondering if you hit those trees crack of dawn how would it be - maybe next time - catch you later🎣👊👍

[@jamesfaudeck540]

Got to love a popper bite! But in hindsight, I really would have loved to see you through a 6-inch wacky rig senco under those trees I know it's not the sexiest way to catch fish but you probably would have caught at least a few more.. anyway thanks again for the vid tight lines

[@derekbushnell1309]

Next time you are there throw a Zoom speedcraw with a really light weight pegged just to give you a little weight to cast and reel it over the top of that grass and bushes and hang on.

[@ninjarider84]

When I saw the hook in his finger.....my biggest fear pulling the hooks out and hoping they don't freak out and those hooks go crazy 😮

[@dontnonowuno9953]

Glad you got a good one finally.I was thinking about a tournament you had down in Louisiana ?? where you slayed em on the senko skip casting up onto the cypress trees..maybe you tried that and didnt film it but seemed like the call especially the first morning with no wind and you spotting all those bass hugging the trunks

[@Da0nlYJUAN1]

I don't know if anyone had ever noticed, but from all the videos I've seen, why does't Greg throw a texas rig?

[@rm709]

i was thinking a ned rig would have gotten ‘em!

[@etxpines2748]

I find myself saying that in almost every video too... no idea why he doesn’t. Never seen him throw a simple ribbon tail worm tx rig...or plain creature soft plastic unless he’s punching.

[@MarkoMygun]

Good mornin everyone coffee is good and another great fishing video from Greg. Hey you caught some but more important you got to just kinda relax from the tournament grind. Thanks for taking us along bro.

[@two_9s__209]

Popping Swamp Lord in the spots you were throwing the popper on the first day. That way you don’t have to worry about getting hung.

Keeping it simple, with 6 rods rofl 😅. Love the content.

[@Bassfishertv]

Finalllly I feel like every good one you get lately you lose at the boat

[@jessecornell8167]

If you had it I would have tried a dice bait or a little bug bait like a raid 2 way.

[@seanthompson7592]

Fishing obsession..... my wife killed that....😢

[@californiadryfly5439]

The one day I don't go to oak shore you show up bummer

[@BenHolliday1]

You need to sell Cheese Louise tee shirts. 😂😂😂

[@richardmaxson4499]

I definitely would have been throwing either a texas rigged senko (black/w blue flakes) , or wacky rigged senko into those trees and bushes, I would also have thrown a whopper plopper around.

[@tavaris8466]

Greg is that May’s point NY in the background there on your throw back videos and pictures ? if so that’s where I cut my teeth as a bass fisherman too great video 2 part is awesome 😎

[@mikelucchesi1719]

Zoom Super Fluke might have been a great choice on those shallow fish.

[@etxpines2748]

I bought the Slayer max 10 and love it, i do think however a slayer max 11 (Exactly 11’) would be perfect. I was torn trying to decide between the 10 and 12.5 and might would’ve went with a 12 as pushing it but the additional 6” on the 12.5 made it too much for me. The value of easy portability and quick load/unload is the main reason for kayak fishing for me. No way I’d be in a Titan 12.5 with two graphs and giant batteries...I’d rather have a boat at that point.

[@maxm7351]

Try a weightless skinny dipper swimbait might get it done

[@BobbyOfEarth]

Notwithstanding your lack of mobility, finding a place where the winds hitting a shore/pocket, can produce a windfall of hookups.

[@Marc-nx9ce]

One of your trips only bring big swimbaits. Force yourself to only use those baits all day to see if you can get a trophy fish.

[@tatemclain7178]

I think you need to try out a fluke style bait in those shallow trees

[@FISHINGwithGREG]

Hey Greg, is that second picture of you back in College taken at May's Point? The first one with the houses in the background looks like it is at the parking lot thats down and to the right of the road, but that second one is throwing me off with that wooden railing in the background.

[@samuelwarden6285]

Hey Greg have you tried a soft jerkbait like a fluke in situations like that? I fish alot of super clear creeks this time of year and i do really well on them. On the plus side it would also be weedless around all that cover. 👊👍

[@JoeLittle-cg6cz]

Fluke is the best just got some shallow bass the other day

[@rodneyhaymon1628]

I would have been flipping a texas rig around those bushes.
