Fishing a KEITECH Swing Impact Fat for FINICKY spawning bass

[@toddwalker5102]

Nothing is better than waking up an realizing that our main man Greg dropped another video

[@bassin0319]

Honestly my favorite KZbin . Love your videos . I learn a lot from you

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thanks man! glad to pass along knowledge as I myself learn

[@fishingwcp]

Bassin03 my fav too

[@OldLadyAngler]

Watching with my morning coffee.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Sorry I took this one down so quick OLA. Hope you were able to finish it but if not maybe with this mornings coffee!

[@josephabanilla3678]

Me too

[@jblade2112]

11:38 awesome to see the bite on the rod, great sequence.

[@schoolboy405]

That hookset though

[@Bowhunt]

Love the swing impact and the Easy Shiner! One of my favorites.

[@thunderopossum6493]

You've discovered one of the most productive baits for central Texas rivers. I prefer the action of the strike king rage swimmer. It's got better action at slow retrieve.

[@Josey4u]

I always have an Exoswim tied on rigged the same way. I put a red bead on between my bobber stopper and my knot just for the splash of color.

[@BassandFurious]

Greg with 2 video drops?? i know where my next 28 minutes will be spent🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@134rwa]

That is why the Keitech Swing Impact Fat is my absolute favorite paddle-tail swimbait. I also prefer the belly-weighted EWG swimbait hook, but since I fish a lot of grass and lily pads, I prefer the hooks that have the screw lock on the eye, I usually change out the screw lock to a bigger one, it really helps keep the lure in place much longer.

[@TheMoelexus]

Once again great video those rough slow days of fishing sure make you enjoy the days when they slam anything!!!!

[@waxman68cards19]

Nice day!!! Had my best day 2 days ago. My 22 yr old son and I spent about 3 hours walking a pond and caught 15 bass and a warmouth! (9 bass and the warmouth were mine!) Our biggest was 18 1/4", we had no scale with us.

[@cc-ty3gg]

Nice!! Another good video as always.. I fish the kietechs on a owner screw lock swimbait hook...they hold up a little longer..

[@fishingwcp]

Awesomeness! Started raining there a little bit front coming in might have turned them on

[@johnkent9019]

Great way to start day 15 of the "shelter-in-place" thanks a bunch Greg!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks John! hoping to get as much fishing as I can in until they close off everything out here

[@kpnitrl38]

Thanks for putting the rear camera back in play. Much better.

[@mattw210]

After trying everything it feels great to get the bite going. Great video you can’t go wrong with the swim baits

[@stevenvalenti3722]

Those are my most favorite swimbaits. And also the electric shad color is really great. I also like the easy shiners to. They work really great.🙂

[@Dmartin1128]

When they’re biting the swimbait it’s always a good day! solid video as usual 👊🏻👊🏻

[@tristanwood2512]

You jacked them Greg. Awesome when you find the pattern. We use those keitecs for barramundi. Just the bigger ones though.

[@billyb9067]

Dude I bought a bunch of keitech fat shad after this last month. Caught so many multi species bass using the tapered spring swimbait hooks and saved more bait with twist on tapered spring.,

[@Rapapapapapa1]

That Keitech Electric Shad is always a good go to bait.

[@russelll.8361]

Nice bag! What's the water temp?

[@JayNev27]

Awesome video, you had em goin! Keitechs been producing for me lately as well!

[@briansiphavong1]

Keitechs are the go-to paddle tail swimbaits for sure. Glad you found that pattern on catchin em Greg! We’ll probably be hitting the Delta this Friday again.👍🏼

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

good luck man, been rough past couple days for me especially with the wind but did get a double up striper today haha. hopefully it picks up for you guys!

[@taylormckeever7304]

Wow! Way to figure it out. Totally killed it! Thanks for the vids.🎣

[@ivstova47]

What test pound are you using

[@simplycasting7130]

Those kitech are the best in my opinion i use them all day, just plastic is to soft so you blow through them after every second bit for the most part, great vid

[@C.Adams82]

I use an 8lb. dumb bell as well. It's perfect, it doesn't get caught up in brush or trees like a grab anchor

[@GalaxyRods]

Keitech is an awesome bait...nice work Greg!

[@caseydangar1193]

Love keitech swim baits. Also, you are about as good as ive ever seen with calling weights on fish. 👏👏

[@hculebro]

Hi Greg..great video. I have a question in regards to the titan 10.5 and the slayer 10.5...I am trying to see which one to pick up...I do a lot of similar fishing like you..since you have both...advice?

[@yakoobjunior9631]

Great video Greg and Keitech sure were slaying them 👍🏼

[@coryambush]

Hey Greg, If you don't mind me asking... what's your rod/reel setups that you used in this video.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

no problem, GURU Glass chatterbait rod, 7.1:1 Shimano curado, 15# seaguar invisx

[@googanslayer6675]

what video does he show his flipping jig/trig set ups please. thanks

[@derekramirez2193]

Keitch are 1 of my favorite, try a river 2 sea dwalker last longer and great body roll and tail movement. Switch to screw in beast hook underspin .. 1 dwalker lasted all day with a few stripers in the mix.. u will be suprized i was

[@1300312]

Those things catch fish every day for me, most times better than the senkos. Great video.

[@Josey4u]

I agree, I keep one tied on all the time

[@mitchellrobbins1119]

Where did you get your rudder handle. Is it custom made?Is it aluminum?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

yep, custom aluminum handle. Next Level designs on facebook.

[@billyb9067]

Thanks for the uploads Bro

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thanks for watching Billy

[@messyfisherman4140]

i run the screw lock hooks with my kietechs allows me to get a few more fish out of each one

[@Lakelifegolf]

What lure cover/wraps do you use on your rods

[@elruso8675]

Robert kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnnYc4aJitueiNE

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Bait Sack - amzn.to/2q2OLxD

[@PurityRX]

Hey Greg not sure if you already have one but you should look into getting a polarizer filter for your GoPro cut down the glare from the water.. keep it up man love the videos

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Interesting idea. I wonder if you'd actually be able to see the fish tho? that'd be sweet!

[@PurityRX]

Greg Blanchard Only one way to find out!!

[@MatthewM8]

Do you ever find that leaving your pedal drive down causes extra drag when you cruise around on your torqeedo? Just wondering why you choose not to put it up when you're not using the pedal drive? Awesome video! Thanks

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

nope, i've tested both ways! also, i would rather it something on my pedal drive over my torqeedo lol

[@ceehubb9683]

Constantly coming with great content. Greg your the man.

[@Mx5_sportcoss]

What area of the delta are you fishing ? Thinking of going out Saturday with my kayaks

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

East delta in whites

[@raideruben]

I’m from San Jose and all local lakes are closed to kayaks. Where can I launch at the delta? I’m itching to get out!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

I think almost all delta launches are open to kayaks since most have a pay box. places that also have camping/RV sites like tower park tho i'm not sure

[@raideruben]

Right on 👍🏽

[@tsink6]

What kind of hook where you useing and the worm

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

everything should be linked in the description

[@tsink6]

Great video. I enjoy your tips. Keep up the videos

[@cindydonovan5444]

Hi Greg. Love your vids thanks! Are you still going to make it back to N.Y.and Cayuga lake soon? Not sure if you can pull it off with everything that is going on.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Cindy! Things have definitely changed. I'm probably cancelling my planned trip to NY in May but I'm going to try and reschedule for June. Just gonna play it by ear

[@gpibassfishing4588]

Hi, what set up use with keitech swimbait??

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

GURU Glass chatterbait rod, 7.1:1 Shimano curado, 15# seaguar invisx

[@anthonyvespia6662]

I have many more GB vids in my Playlist I haven't watched yet. It's awesome to see the inspiration he's brought us all. With our kayaks, accessories, his different arsenals, techniques, and everything else he's progressed with this sport. 💯 🛶 🎣

[@phonexaythirakoune1181]

Greg, you’re the reason why I purchased a Titan! How often do you fish a week?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Awesome man! I'd say 2-3x/week

[@Eric-qw4wv]

well done. what's your retrieve? slow and steady or sporadic twitching?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

for this outting it was definitely slow and letting it tick the bottom

[@kerrypitt9789]

Greg, not to question you but to show the difficulties of the Delta. How many times has a "Pre-Fish," worked out for you? Is Mike Ioconelli correct when he says "You cant fish yesterday's fish?"

[@bigjug5195]

You put the smack down bro!!🤘🤘

[@myboyz02]

Keitech is my favorite bait. Yes

[@daveboyer2447]

That bass almost looked like some of the bass around our lakes kind of a mix between a black bass and a smallie more of a gold tint on the sides

[@leochang3686]

Tournament type outing!!! 👍👍 Have you ever done a casting count?? It really looks like you are really fit the way you cast all your baits. Thanks again for the trip and peace to you .

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Leo! I have not but it'd be an interesting stat to take note of

[@attik34]

I havent seen you use the Fish sticks recently. What kind do you use if you still do?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

still been using the KVD fishsticks crawfish, just not showing it in the videos i guess lately. been putting it on my bedding baits tho

[@everettsmith971]

Hey Glen. I got a pack of Big Bite baits warmouth per your recommendation from an earlier video. Any suggestions on how to rig would be great

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

nice! drop shot setup with a 3/0 EWG hook texas rigged. hopefully that made since

[@stacenhartland9777]

Mannnnn, barely caught this today!!!! I got all angry there for a min. Trying to figure it all out & whatnot. Thxs as always sir.

[@mikeyspeakz6490]

You should do a series where you try to catch a double digit.

[@KalaniThames]

would love to see him actually target fish on a swimbait, but it's very very hard from a kayak since at least with the hardbaits you need to make very accurate casts and be able to see high up to locate followers. and if you get bit it's hard to land em sitting down.

[@dreadfullwanderlust1376]

What has your temperature been like there?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

been around 60 degrees give or take 1-2 degrees each day

[@kevinsandells9933]

Awesome video. Some really nice bass.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thanks Kevin, good day for sure

[@robertthao3865]

Always bring kel-tech swimbait during early or during spawn for sure you will definitely catch bass. Was out at the delta 2 years ago and was catching 5+ pounder all day with kel-tech swimbait.

[@fishinthe8283]

Whats your frogging setup?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

rod is a discontinued denali lithium frog rod but reel is 8.5:1 curado K, 50# powerpro braid

[@jeffw3776]

Great catches. Yes the delta is heating up

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Jeff. Yep, hopefully we can still fish it during this time

[@jeffw3776]

Greg Blanchard....when I can’t fish by myself on a lonely beach or lonely river the world as we know it is over.

[@tonyjones9057]

Way to grind it out and find the pattern, you matched the hatch!

[@tharodfather7647]

What are those bait holders called?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Bait Sack - amzn.to/2q2OLxD

[@ctgilcrest]

oh my gamaktsu hook keeper boxes have arrived. i bought both the shallow and deep. my ned's & shaky heads look like little soldiers lined up for inspection lol

[@scottbaldwin5448]

Nice vid! I like to throw them with a 5/0 3/16 oz screwlock the baits last a lot longer and swim better...I think...... ps that is a must throw all spring...all year really

[@caseygray6028]

When you get your Burrita, You must go with Carnitas!! Its my favorite!!

[@jerrychapman7091]

Berryessa has a lot of 1/2 breed ,large to spot and spot to smallie.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

yep, caught a few, pretty cool looking fish

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

I like my Keitech, but they rarely last more than one fish.

[@funkymojo111]

Thumb down for bed fishing

[@trapt925]

Hey Greg, I have a quick question for you, which scale are you using? I’ve seen it a few times but haven’t seen you put a link up. Keep doing what your doing!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Scale - amzn.to/33OXymp

[@shnicholas9004]

Nice fish man! Love the videos, I’m from Lodi and have been trying to find good spots in the delta to launch at that’s somewhat near me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

[@nickcosta88]

2 vids 1 mornin I can dig it...🎣🎣🎣

[@kdot2427]

Get you some large centering pins for those keel weighted hooks my guy! Tight lines!

[@sqhunter65]

Killen at the end,and a red eye bass to boot nice.

[@justincarr9065]

Try feeding the hook eye up threw your kiethech b4 u tie on it'll last longer almost like a tube

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

good tip man, appreciate it

[@JohnnyDFishing]

Where are you launch your kayak in this video man ? And that was a great day 👍

[@OhKee12]

Nice video brother. Keep it up 👍

[@silentjoutdoors]

Gotta ask what's up with all the water in the kayak haha

[@mtgs_calcifer]

Lol Greg finding out about Fat Swing Impact and finally understanding the hype! You should rig it with a Owner Beast or the Flashy Swimmer...and whenever you start getting grass growing up going to the Easy Shiner on a Dirty Jigs Finesse swim jig is the ticket!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

yep, gotta step up my hook game but these are all I had on hand lol.

[@mtgs_calcifer]

Lol just glad to see you’re on the Keitech band wagon!! They’re legit my go to bait at all times. Swimming them, dragging/hopping bottom, weightless and let them hit it on the fall...

[@johnburgess6572]

That's how ya do it by sticking with the changes !!!

[@ashinejowreal8345]

Was out there last sat and caught bunch of 2, 3 and 4lbers and limit on 2 stripers man did the kietech do some damage lol

[@hookedwithmishchuk]

do you like that pink senko? and what LB test is your fav for chatter

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Just testing it out, I've only had 1 day I can remember where I did really good on it but i usually like black/blue. 15# for chatter line

[@wefish7759]

Love your videos your super dope keep fishing ✌️

[@ctgilcrest]

i put screw locks on my waited hooks. my keitech's lasted a lot longer. owner's come with them. cool video.

[@poststalone1496]

Craig Gilcrest yeah, screw locks are a must to make them last

[@Adventures101.]

Man so much fun . Im jealous

[@skoli55]

Nice job Greg.👍.Delta will be on fire for a while now.

[@alfredina1980]

Just wanted to give you a tip. I live in mexico and when we get those conditions grab a split shot rig with a watermelon magic or green pumpkin magic and hold on. Greetings

[@bigfah2506]

Use medium or large CPS springs from owner, it won’t eat up the keitechs as quickly

[@sonyyaaj]

Always hate the wind when im on the kayak 😩

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

for sure, definitely not fun and when there's a low tide and its nothing but weeds makes it tough

[@bassburglar4053]

Personally I like seeing the big girls gettin weighed. Keep up the awesome work Greg 🤙👍🤟

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Thanks Matt! for sure, been enjoying weighing them myself, adds a new perspective!

[@Abe_Sinclair]

This video was hidden by KZbin... I just found it by accident.. no notification.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Yeah, I think because it went live early and took it down then put it live this morning, KZbin apparently didn't like that

[@andybrotonsfishing]

Nice video 👍

[@robertthao3865]

Go find surfacing seaweed that come off the bank about 3-5 feet and that is where the big fish are at.

[@coreyfrasnelly7364]

Red eyes from where I’m from are rock bass but that bass looks nothing like a rock bass lol great video Greg 👍🏻

[@Henfishitydog]

In CA, we have red eye bass. They look more like spots. Spots and smallies have been known to mix with largies in the delta to create "mean mouths". They don't get very big, but they're aggressive like spots and smallies and grow faster.

[@coreyfrasnelly7364]

Henfishitydog 10-4 I know if a rock bass could get to 5 pounds he would tear your best rod up lol

[@trungtranfishing5045]

Wow wow exellent ! Bro

[@tjakeeler]

Didn’t see this in my notifications yesterday, that explains the lack of views

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

yep, took this one down after it went live by accident then scheduled for this morning which YT apparently didn't like
