Summer Bass Fishing on the California Delta (2024 edition)

[@davelerner8461]

Greg, there are a lot of guys who do bass fishing videos on water but what I really love about yours is that you explain what you are doing and why, basically strategy on the fly, it's really great and appreciate your dedication to your viewers, thanks!

[@owenstauffer6994]

Agreed completely so much better than like the “googan squad” who just rips the fishes mouth as hard as they can and yells

[@shillingfamily]

Alright.. I had to share this with you Greg and the rest of the community. My dad passed away a little over a year ago and I have my mom down for a two week visit.. just to give her some laughs.. started watching your video.. mom put her book down and watched, smiled and said “your dad would’ve loved watching this guy.” Greg.. thanks for sharing and also thanks for helping to bring a smile and good memory for my mom.. Tight lines

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Amazing, really appreciate you sharing this.

[@ekingkjuul]

Just got my native titan x 12.5 yesterday. All because of Greg selling me on it.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Awesome! The rigging and setup will be half the fun

[@johngwilson730]

I love how u take the time to teach us about the bait youre using, be it good or bad, thats why i watch your content... to LEARN not to just watch some guy catching fish all day, and not even telling what hes using.. you're a great content provider and teacher.. I know im in Georgia, but i think a lot of your tactics will work here.. its hot as fire here also. Im going back in my tackle box and pulling out some craw imitators for my next trip. THANKS Greg..!!

[@caedenw4]

keep talking about how many different set ups you need, my wife believes it when it comes from you. lol

[@Triberius]

@@caedenw4 mine asked me how much tackle I need. Told her, “All of it, there’s a reason we bought a house a mile down the road from Bass Pro Shops, and 15 minutes from Cayuga Lake!” She wasn’t amused.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

🤣🤣🤣

[@lizsmith9948]

A Taquito morning watching your fishing feats in action! I admire the organization of your garage - it looks like an angler's library 😉 Much appreciation for showing your 10 Delta baits. 126°!!! You're dedicated! It's tough to focus in the heat, but glad to see you hooking and snagging them. The frog bite reminded me of the time a REAL frog snagged the frog my husband was casting. What a cannibal! Yeech! By far your editing makes your "clinics" so enjoyable. Tight lines! 🎣🎣🎣

[@efrain919]

Love california delta videos🔥

[@jimfournier9065]

It’s been ridiculously hot out here on the east coast in Connecticut too! I wish I could get up as early as you do to get out on the water that early, that’s what you Gotta do! Enjoy your videos, Greg! Jim

[@billywilliams2219]

Introduced your channel to a buddy last week, he's hooked. Thanks for what you do, good stuff.

[@Casitascrawlers]

Looked like a good day out on the Delta I’m currently away from home for a few weeks working up in the Bakersfield area checked Google earth before but there not a lot of areas but the Kern river is around the area I was thinking about bringing a pole but work is my priority so I didn’t bring any fishing gear so thanks for taking me along. Much appreciated.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

can't hurt to try!

[@dragons502]

To me, catching any fish, it’s a good day😀 Thanks for another excellent fishing video. I learn a lot from u!

[@Agile47509chicken]

Cheers, GB friends ☕️☕️

[@fishingwithbdawg3620]

When ever I wake up and see a GB vidieo it's allways the best way to wake up. Please never stop enjoy every single vidieo bro.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thank you sir! I hope I can do this for a long time

[@marctownsend4099]

Outside of bacon, eggs and toast, there isn't much better that goes with a cup of coffee. Thanks for the quality content!

[@jackstein5486]

Nice touch with the bobber stop on the flour knot. I also find bare it can catch some debris. Great vid as always, thanks for the tip!❤️

[@granvillej3316]

It is hot, damn hot! Greg you fought the conditions of extreme weather and brought us an amazing high quality video! Have you discovered any new way to either stay with Gopro or find another action camera that works well in these extreme temperatures? I think we can all agree your community that supports you enjoy an uploaded video of you on the water whether it’s fishing, practice or in tournaments they love and are inspired by another Greg Blanchard video. So, from the bottom of my heart thank you for bringing another smile to my face and bringing another awesome video today!! Tight lines sir take care and God bless!

[@dangrady0311]

Yes! Greg posted new content! Made my day! Tight lines!

[@thatfishingnoob]

Dude LOL.... I thought it was hot here around the mid/upper 90's in Texas... ya'll are in triple digits. Sheeeesh. We'll probably catch up to you eventually, plus 100% humidity haha. Good stuff GB. Stay hydrated haha

[@Snitchols]

Wow, what a gorgeous sunrise!

[@gameon2081]

Thank you for your sacrifice just to bring us great content, 👏👏👏

[@kcoutdooractivities1338]

The amount of time you spend in that awesome bass cave, you should get one of those portable AC unit. Got to take care of yourself. Thanks for sharing.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

probably should!

[@mattbarber4199]

Try a walking bait or a torpedo. Thanks for taking us along!!

[@FishingThePNW]

I didn't know there was a version of the cull shad without the harness until I looked it up after watching this video. Sweet!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Been a big producer for me lately!

[@Fizzy2Point]

You know, every time I see a GB Delta video it brings me back to last year I think it was when you slingshot that bass from the pads LMFAO I will never forget that... 😊 Hope all is well

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

haha one for the blooper reel

[@brucepreston3927]

I really need to start throwing the swim jig again myself! I used to catch tons of fish on it, but stopped using it as much over the last few years...I also stopped rigging my senkos "wacky" style and just started texas rigging them...I have lost alot less fish that way...Great video, and i'm excited to see what's next!

[@matthewirish5755]

Greg! You don’t know me from Adam, but I would strongly encourage you to try the Xzone Swammer as your swim jig trailer. The secondary roll action from the Swammer for a swim jig has been money for me. Always appreciate the content!

[@jasonnewton7050]

new GB video right when i sit down for lunch 🐟

[@KONGMYANG89]

Damn waiting for your video Greg. Eating Mcd and drinking coffee watching this

[@Longshot3531]

Finger lakes going crazy right now Greg and it's only 76 today 👀 come back to the north lol great video Greg!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Haha I've heard! There may be a trip already planned lol

[@FishingTime_LetsGo]

Always fun getting out - Thanks for taking us along👊🎣👍

[@zachturner3443]

Awesome video man

[@jerrypresswood6991]

I wants you to know Greg I really enjoy your show!!!!!

[@sukarnosurya3052]

lots of fishing bait I like it

[@tmtc5200]

Hey good sir I just wanna say love your videos and I also am local and fish in those areas, thank you for your content and perspectives! 🙏🏼

[@johnzeetee6747]

Those hot days are tough!

[@tommyxae]

Does your shirt comes in black? 😅. Dope long sleeves 👌.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Just the gun metal color for now, black T's on the site tho!

[@RevelsGang]

Great work on this video including but not limited to the montage 😂

[@Bass2mouth420]

Excellent video🤙💯

[@aaronbrazier1639]

Goodmorning,I’m long time fan ,your kayak table in your garage where did you get them ?

[@alfredina1980]

awesome greetings from mexico greg

[@Agile47509chicken]

Buen dia!

[@daveversion2.2]

Same here in central WA…..high 90’s and low 100’s for almost 3 weeks.

[@czykrepublic4323]

Try a swim jig with a Keitech swing impact or a Zman Diesel Minnow on the back with a straight retrieve.

[@veenhek]

What I find the most interesting is that Greg uses LH retrieve for every set up except for his frog set up. Greg - have you ever explained why you do that?

[@Triberius]

@GregBlanchardFishing 3:43 That's just a re-invention of the old Pig and Jig, I grew up listening to Bill Dance talk about it on his show.

[@bernicemcclendon574]

put a mini split ac unit in your garage

[@danielkinn782]

It's 106 + here daily for summer. Luckily 1 place I fish thrives on hot fishing. The heat also keeps people off the water.

[@joeito9126]

you should try the finesse Jacob wheeler buzz bait. you can throw it all day. it's been slamming out in the delta.

[@chewwie419]

gorgeous view!!! I luv your videos Greg!!! i watch all of them, I havent been out to the Delta yet but i need to plan a trip out there. Do you know if they rent boats out there ?

[@shadestaples7903]

Good morning enjoy the Vids...gotta get a cooler in your garage bro! LOL!

[@kennightingale516]

Even though it was hot, I'm sure the wind helped a lot for catching. Good day, but the daytime fishing is too hot. Time to turn off the lights and night fish.

[@819phoenix]

Have you tried a 10” worm

[@dekawm8710]

casting montage for the dub XD

[@spearton816alt]

oh i actually saw you fishing a while ago in the same spot i think

[@SaefongOutdoors]

I would of figured 8 that senko 😂😂😂

[@fryeguy9939]

Greg. I don't think I ever seen you use a (TEXAS RIG). Correct me if I'm wrong ??? That's my go to, if all else fails...

[@danno8m7]

Great content as always . Best Chanel ! What is that hook keeper for your spinning rod . I like how it just clips on the rod compared to others . What’s the name of it ? If you don’t mind sharing . Thank you in advance .

[@chriscolon7859]

🔥🔥🔥

[@garagedoortec4083]

We where out there for the first time me and my son,and kilt it caught over 40 in 2 days 1-3lbs all day

[@gavinmendoza1680]

I just went fishing at the delta today and ended up catching a three pounder, two 2.5 pounders, two 2 pounders, and a 1.5 (all bass) i think the delta is getting better from the past 10 times i’ve gone but i caught a 4.3 a couple weeks ago aswell.

[@gavinmendoza1680]

i caught 1 on a popper 3 on senko and 2 on square bill crank bait

[@justincourtright2431]

Hey, i know everyone thinks where you live is northern California. Where you live is more central California. Us true north state people consider the line roughly from chico north. Just giving you a hard time. I like your videos, you need to come this way some time. Shasta, Oroville, or some where up NORTH! LOL

[@cameronyamrick2120]

Do you ever use a speedworm out there. It's one of my main lures here in florida for grass fish

[@NuFishin]

Hey Greg what is that stand you have the Native on. It’s the perfect height for the bed of the truck.

[@mikeoz01]

Greg-Nice Job -motor on your Native??

[@zayg062]

Hey Greg , I noticed you had yellow line on your wacky rigged worm spinning rod set up ? I have been avoiding braid cause I'm unsure if the fish can see it in the water . Was wondering if this is something you think it should be stressing about ?

[@bbowen4629]

Greg do you get twist in your braided line when fishing a Wacky setup??

[@dne3142]

Hey Greg. How long do you actually run a bait before you decide it's been enough, and you should switch? Sometimes, I lock baits in all day and don't catch hardly anything

[@Anothermidwestfisherman]

So do you run internal batteries on the gopro while running a external power pack? When I do that it will make my gopro overheat suuper quick

[@zeppelin1n4]

Those cullshad hooksets were basically sausage

[@arielmelero7891]

What swim jig were u using?

[@trickytrav88]

Greg do you like that new scent you're using?? I'm still with the fish sticks and (bait fuel😅 the Bait Fuel hasn't caught me one fish and the sticks did every time practically on the same day

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

So far its been good! I don't think its any better or worse than fishsticks but as long as I'm scenting that frog I do think it helps even its just a little bit

[@sbrax8]

what type of line do you usually go for, braid, mono or fluro, because I heard braid is worse for baitcasters, if so do you put a backing and knot it to braid? if you do use braid what ibs?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

I use all types of line but line quality matters especially with braid so it doesn't dig into the spool. The P-line braid has been good to me

[@sbrax8]

@@GregBlanchardFishing tysm!

[@yengvang8737]

How do you look at the temperature at 106 degrees and say, "Kinda warm out"? Literally deep fried over here lol

[@824rmrock]

Greetings Mr Blanchard I'm from South Texas staying on the Sacramento River between the Zoo and Riverside. I fish from a Sea Eagle 285 inflatable with Minnkota trolling motor. Can you recommend any area within 4 or 5 miles of me to start my fishing experience here in California. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have been watching your videos for at least a year from Texas and never dreamed I would be in your part of the country

[@efrain919]

Where can i find the cull shad and color?

[@sbrax8]

I'm wondering what brake settings do you have, because my slx a has the brakes behind that has 6 button things, wondering how many should I put on and off

[@josephvillalobos09]

Bet

[@FTY6150]

hey GREG how come i cant get stripers to hit the soft plastics here on he delta ????

[@bernicemcclendon574]

are you going to icast 2024

[@obeyjulian4853]

How come you only fish with abu Garcia and Berkeley ?

[@Fareye100]

Can you write the rod use for every bait ?

[@MrTightLines]

Greg, no rat use yet?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

waiting for that night bite!

[@tysonleeblanchard]

I'd be on the water by 5am and off by 10...Otherwise, I'd literally melt.

[@kyle1562]

Stop pulling your lure in so soon, Greg!!!!

[@stevealarid2689]

Brother, I see you never put your your plugs in your kayak, kayak does float up higher when they are in , way better in swallow water, delta rats pounders 🎣

[@bigspoon8219]

Ok so here is the thing why are u never looking for deep water road beds anything to get off bank it's 100 degrees think would u wanna lay in 5 inches of water water is mor stable in 8 to 15 foot then u throw all small fish baits pick up a dt10 or something lol

[@bradlyjochem4920]

[@PiperFishing]
