Fishing the lake of 10,000 casts

[@rancorrevolution2374]

Hey that Tiger Musky looked beautiful!

[@anhquach425]

Since you haven’t gotten a new truck yet. Have you ever thought about a sprinter van with camper conversion? Throw your kayak in there and travel to a bunch of states. We wanna see those videos!!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Was on a HUGE sprinter van kick/research a couple years ago. Probably not this or next year but truck updates to come!

[@kennightingale516]

Thanks for the instructional video on how to cast the different baits. JK. Thanks for bring us along one more time. Good job catching a few stragglers.

[@Usuario-23]

Good morning folks. 👋🏽

[@markbridenbeck1030]

Good morning sir

[@puvlea83]

Morn

[@devinhoyt1700]

Yep * sips coffee 😂

[@74lgd]

I'm so jealous. I need to knock the dust off of my kayak and get out there. Thanks for the inspiration. Tight lines!

[@drewsims262]

I need to come up and check tiger musky off the bucket list. Such a beautiful fish

[@brianmcquinn5897]

Thanks for bringing us along. It was very brave to use an expensive glide bait with so many toothy creatures around. My vote for the next video is the Canals!!!

[@Everything_Beast]

10000 casts? That's every lake I go too 😄

[@puvlea83]

Not to mention knots on the last eye of your rod. Snags, catching every piece of debris in fall. Isnt it grand lol

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

😂

[@melvinmariott8609]

At least you was getting bit. Im going out this weekend and hopefully the weather will be good to me to get the kayak on the water

[@jeremyowen1]

Oh, Otisko is one of the finger lakes. I've been learning about how those were formed recently. Pretty fascinating stuff.

[@todayscatch5471]

Lipless crank Gregggggg

[@pabassfisherman]

Greg, would love to see you run over to Oneida Lake for your last trip to a Lake in NY. Smallies and walleye are on the fall bite!

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Greg I think that was a good trip out. Hooking a Musky, and he was just a baby boy. We know how big they can get. The bass looked healthy. It's Awesome just to bend a rod sometimes. 😎 🎣 🙏

[@kurt53641]

You need to try Sandusky bay, Lake Erie.

[@konglee4468]

Been waiting for a while for you to go with a live imaging platform. I hope your next trip treats you well before leaving NY!

[@Shortyellowbuss01]

At first I saw the water on the ground from rain and the gas prices and was confused. I was like uh neither of those thing happen in California. Then I remembered you are in New York haha

[@twainchaine89]

Thanks for coming back to the east coast every year and finding the time during your visit home to shoot these vids. I appreciate it! Tight lines--

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

my pleasure, i love fishing in NY!

[@lizsmith9948]

Tiger Muskie - cool-looking fish! We were wondering what happened to your net 🙁 Slowly but surely they finally started biting! At least the bass were healthy-looking and had some meat on them. Thank you for taking us on another adventure - it goes good with my morning coffee 👍

[@tims_always_fishing7117]

I've caught 1 tiger, they are beautiful. kinda became a little famous from the banks I fish. 😆

[@thatfishingnoob]

Dude lol, I feel the same exact way. I go long stretches with no bites, no signs, nothing, and then a random bite, especially a topwater, gets me all excited and fish longer lol. It might be an addiction. But hey, it’s a good one! Tight lines sir. Glad to see that Arig action.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

haha you said it best and i agree, its an addiction!

[@Agile47509chicken]

Good morning from the Land of 10,000 LAKES! 😊

[@scottbostic6247]

Love seeing you tackle this N.Y. stuff. Good job.

[@frankleaney6267]

Musky love the white spinner baits. I always throw a leader on when im throwing spinner baits in musky waters. Great video . I’d be fishing for deep smallies there this time of year. My weakness lol

[@bengreeninsuranceagency]

Love that A Rig Bite!

[@jeffw3776]

❤hard for me to get out in Idaho this time of year. More a bundle up fish from shore kinda time. Thanks for the vid

[@Tackletuesdayfishing]

Does Greg ever throw a texas rigged worm?

[@tomwalker669]

I wish California had those gas prices 😢

[@onamissionfishin]

Stop voting blue

[@MaineStreamFishing]

Them drastic temp swings! Welcome back to NY my boy lol

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

haha it was very drastic

[@dannyboymorales6995]

You always make it entertaining my G

[@TDLEE28-125]

Love the a rig bite too bad cali only allow 2 hooks but still good...thanks Greg for another great video

[@clutch3shot]

You can actually fish 3 hooks on an a-rig in california. Tight lines brotha 🤙

[@dylanschannel6275]

Sad you been fishing 2 hooks all this time. But Cali is 3 hooks haha

[@nunyabusiness102]

I grew up in that area. Otisco used to be an awesome fishery. Loved watching the finger lake vids, been over a decade since I've fished up there.

[@joesanna5268]

That is my favorite gas station on Cayuga, my campground is 10 min down the road

[@markogletree2790]

Hey Greg what's up bro. You have to come up to Michigan some time.

[@maddmannziggy89]

G-man never disappoints!

[@ron2893]

A good video for a tough day

[@bmwstan1]

I think you deserve live scope. You can teach all of us, as you go, how to use it. Appreciate all your work in creating great content.

[@jeremyowen1]

I prefer him fishing without one. If you actually want to learn how to fish, live scope isn't the solution. Live scope takes the skill of fishing and understanding bodies of water and turns it into a video game. Video game fishing. I'd never use anything other than down/side imaging for bottom contours and structure identification.

[@btv1676]

​@@jeremyowen1 I bought one mainly because I'm a nerd. But what I found out was how much you can learn about fish behavior. Especially in open water. Not a video game. You will still get skunked. But what you see on a bad day is the fish following, sniffing you rig and turning away. It's it the presentation? Is it the color? It's it the way your plastic hangs on the jig head. I spent time jigging these quality fish in open water and sometimes moving the plastic forwards or backwards a tiny bit so change the action enough to make them comit to bite. So just like you learn from side imaging about structure. Is it a hard bottom. Is it a tree stump. Or a laydown. Or a rocky point that sticks out where you can't see it from the surface. They are all tools to learn where, when and how to target your favorite fish. You can't poo poo one without poo pooing all sonar. Do you poo poo the hunter that uses a scope or a trail cam to learn his targets routines and behaviors?

[@coreysnow730]

Squarebills and spinnerbaits around milfoil fields is the ticket right now up in the northeast. I gotta get my hands on one of those live imaging graphs that your buddy had in the last video

[@AlfredMorganFishing]

Otisco is solid, caught my PB this year there. So many large bass

[@akmalfishhunter]

Awesome experience for sure 👍 You should definitely do some bushcraft videos

[@glenndaugherity6187]

That gas is 1.20 less per gallon compared to us here in Pritzker Land Illinois 😢

[@quinfishing]

Come to Minnesota

[@trickytrav88]

Thanks for the vid Greg we appreciate it brother..this has been my worst fall year fishing in years also no lie..ive gone out several times in the same spots i always do good and got skunked

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Yeah man it's been pretty brutal for me too at times, just gotta keep at the grind

[@souyeelao9204]

I'm surprised you didn't use your custom perch swim jig

[@OldLadyAngler]

OMG what I wouldn't give to get a bye catch like that! I'm planning my 3 month Maine trip for 2023 and a stop at the Finger Lakes area is on the list. Any recommendations? I can't fish them all, but maybe 2 or 3 of them. I'll be in that area probably in June

[@gregellingson7584]

Nice, great video as always!

[@MrFishingOhio]

Had the same happen to me my last time out with a 32 inch pike, net was useless in that case

[@iliagladilin1810]

Maybe try a spybait?

[@CatchEmKing]

yesssierrr!!! another day on the water cant wait till tomorroWw!!!

[@hankcogburn2600]

I love my slayer max 10. It changed fishing for me.

[@XploreAz]

Man, I wish we had those east coast gas prices here in the west.

[@homegrowncatch]

Greg, have you shared your clothing set up for cooler weather yet?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Should be linked in the video before this, bibs and such!

[@Will_Nyenhuis]

Thanks for the great videos Greg.

[@LastRODbender]

No luck on perch colored spinner-bait you made?

[@gerryhazelton9569]

Thinks he forgot it

[@trentfindley7212]

So I can confidently fish in a 2 foot wave and 20 mph winds and doing from just a slayer 10. What are considering sketchy?

[@B1GE2]

I had a high 40” fish do a “death roll” on me and put a muskie size treble straight through my hand. That was a memorable fish catch.

[@ForYeshua1]

lol, trolling us Californians with that $3 gas prices.

[@FRANKRICECOLD209]

Holy Crap GAS Is Only 3.27 Were Your At

[@Pabon1987]

Brother you got me into buying crank baits and now looking into buying a new native kayak

[@MrGogogordo]

Nice video as always G. Please stop teasing us with the gas prices.😡😂

[@rafabonati7757]

I wonder if using a more perch color for swimbaits on the A-rig would have worked better. I would imagine they might be very hard to find, as making a banded soft bait would be difficult. Not even sure if they are made??

[@gerryhazelton9569]

Def would work my friend has been killing here in ri and mass on perch spinner baits

[@hilldaron17]

which raymarine is that?

[@datruthhurts3984]

If I catch a fish every hour I can stay out there all day.Sometimes those tough days teach me alot about new baits or techniques I wouldn't have tried and it gets my competitive side going too lol

[@AVHobbies2011]

I read the title and thought you meant 10,000 Lakes! Thought you were in MN for a sec

[@farbeyonddriven8173]

I saw no other boats. How can that be on a day like that in the fall??

[@norsecarolinafishing1950]

Get the Live scope!!!

[@RealMitchRappisBack]

How long ago were you are actually on the water in New York? I know there’s editing time and such but I’m just curious because of weather/water temperature/bite

[@northbaybassanglers1068]

Fuel is so cheap there. Holy cow. Son I remember the days when I would pay 2.80 a gallon 😅

[@layz916]

Greg how do you tie down the tail gate of the crv when transporting or do u tie down at all?

[@ctgilcrest]

Greg have you ever hooked up with a snake head? From what I have seen they look to be good fighters and aggressive. Craig in Vallejo. Ca.

[@jaecubed592]

Did you already do the place where you caught the couple doing naughty things way back when? 😂 Enjoying your NY series...love when you come back to where your videos started.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

haha that's a bank fishing spot but i'll probably check it out next year and hope to avoid any of those folks lol

[@jaecubed592]

@@GregBlanchardFishing lol well I look forward to next year then. Be sure to retell the tale.

[@itsthatmemegodtp3237]

what wheels do you use for your kayak

[@bigkat650]

Just by reading the title, I KNOW he’s going for musky! Now what lake… Wanita? Let’s find out! Edit*. Ahh Otisco. Another great one

[@nyewang]

Greg, at this point you fish for a living. No excuse not getting a livescope. Keep up the great content!

[@puvlea83]

I'd say make a trip to ST. CLAIR. You'd triple that length on a musky and get on some angry 22" smallies.

[@rafabonati7757]

Did you learn to cast from using that lacrosse stick?

[@Spaceshuttlegunner]

What are you going to choose? Garmin or lowrance? It’s going to happen here. I’m excited to see what the wizard works up for you.

[@jholl7339]

So, since you brought it up (I have been curious about this), what's the prep for loading your kayak into the CR-V, like that? Looks like you have some sort of sheet laid down? How do you handle the front passenger seat? I notice the hatch, while not fully closing, closes quite a bit. Can't imagine you travel TOO far like that, especially if it's cold.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

just push the seats down and lay some towels over them. I put a pill between the nose of the kayak and the windshield to absorb any impact just in case

[@MANGKANORMIDNIGHT69]

tiger musky is good eating, i would have kept it 😃

[@pork_chop13]

So Greg I notice you use some of the same rods for different baits/lures threw out the day. However a-rigs usually has to have a certain rod. My question is what rod did you use in this video for your a-rig?

[@tims_always_fishing7117]

dude description

[@jamesh7469]

Greg, muskies tend to “porpoise” and roll at the surface for no particular reason

[@nickcosta88]

💨☕️🎣🤙🏼

[@CrunkyOMan83]

that gas price though lol

[@HankAaronJoseph19]

The only reason I got a big SUV is so I could just slide my slayer 10 right in fully rigged. When I had a pick-up I would have to take everything off and worry about something falling out of the bed. Not anymore

[@Justin.Hawkins]

Dang that gas is super cheap

[@redrumx8214]

I was like $3 for unleaded and $4 for premium where this at!!? Then I searched up the lake and it was in New York 😂 I live in expensive California

[@FLYPHUS]

Hello!

[@Bond-gz6vg]

Jesus Greg don’t you have a tail gate

[@Mark-dj5qf]

Bring those gas prices back with you please.

[@UnmatchedE]

3 dollar gas!!!! where is this lol

[@UnmatchedE]

I had l luck with a dark sleeper lately try it

[@chuebobbyly7108]

Go to new area

[@puvlea83]

Oh no, 1 minute timer.......

[@tengyang9437]

Try topwater…

[@chuebobbyly7108]

Hey greg did u choose me to win some prize

[@rayflynn7942]

getting tired of people talking when they should be fishing 🎣
