We’re finally here.

[@brian9054]

Everything is always edited so well. It's easy to forget all the shots that require you do something twice in order to make it feel like we're all there. Much appreciated.

[@khaoticseq2595]

get it Greg, i believe in you buddy, listen to your intuition, seek and destroy!

[@davidjhomrich]

Is it just me or does Greg always capture the best b-roll shots of nature and animals? Guy can do it all!!! Looking forward to the next few videos!

[@davidfeldman611]

I love when you tell us your lineup before you go out! 10 rods! So fun!

[@motgnay7065]

I told you from the beginning of the year!! This is your year, called it. Angler of the year.

[@LakeBeltonBassin]

LET’S GO GREG THE QUEST FOR AOY CONTINUES!!!!!!

[@seanxing4859]

Do not put too much pressure on yourself, Greg. Go fish, have fun, and get 'er done!

[@chickenliquor]

You've got a fingerlakes heart in your crate! That's where I'm from and fish. Nice to see fingerlakes folks out in the world!

[@thatfishingnoob]

Morning Gb!!! Gotta take off work because my daughter is sick… meaning I can watch this while she’s still asleep!

[@JeffreyKB]

The good old Spinnerbait. I've caught more fish on that lure than anything in my tackle box. Good luck GB.

[@NateDogg-b9z]

Ive never been so emotionally invested in someone else’s fishing goals. I cannot wait for the next vids and hope you stick some slaunches!

[@joebassboss8039]

Fall transition… back of creek arms…. Got it !!!

[@kdot2427]

The amount of commitment required for some of this b-roll is impressive, not gonna lie

[@codem0de]

Yeah big dawgg! You are the king of the kayak.

[@triciablanchard7747]

Woo!

[@barrycates7360]

I cant wait for the next video - you da man !!!!!!!

[@kpnitrl38]

I will say this, that's A LOT of camera placement, staging and editing. Good job dude.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thank you sir

[@1KhaliDP]

Goodluck Greg!! We're all rooting for you

[@spookify]

So pumped to watch this!! I'm avoiding comments and looking up results so I can just enjoy the ride with you!

[@BobbyOfEarth]

Talking about pumped, Gregs looking a bit pumped.. must be from all the giants he's been winding in.

[@Manwhosays]

I was always curious how these cabins were. Thanks for showing us around.

[@MarkoMygun]

Boy in a few years that is gonna be a great lake to fish. It's wierd cause it's almost like it died and now it's finally coming back. And I believe that you deserve Angler Of The Year Greg , you have done well. Can't wait for the next one thanks.

[@lizsmith9948]

We have a tournament on Berryessa this Saturday, so I was watching this while having my customary coffee and Taquitos. Thank you for keeping it real - the anguish of tiny fish and not enough keepers. Do you think the lake has turned over yet? Kudos on that 5 pounder and decent-sized Smallie. 👍 Not to mention any spoilers, but much appreciation for posting and helping with the clinic (you can always learn something!) 😊

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

I bet it has by this weekend it seemed to be in process the weekend of the tournament. Good luck out there!

[@lizsmith9948]

Thank you! 😊

[@jeffc2630]

You can fish circles around me Greg, but when you come across bait balls you should try a jig or another bottom bait to try to catch the Mundo waiting for the injured and dead shad to drop to the deck ? Just a trick I learned, good luck !

[@SimplyFishing]

Love the way you approach practice.

[@toddclarke3132]

Make it happen Greg! 🇨🇦

[@callingallbassmorgan339]

GB you already know what to do man keep your head down and bring it home!

[@scottbostic6247]

So glad you used the spinnerbate. Small ones weren't hitting it which was the first sign. Maybe it will work. Praying for you bro.

[@perryrushing5089]

Greg you need to start employing a Carolina Rig. Try it. You will like it. 👍

[@mrmocha5435]

My local reservoir is just like this, its chocked full of small fish, i think the spawn after the drought ended was great for whatever reason, and that caused it to be full of the little ones

[@joshuarobertdaniels]

Taking us all on a ride to Pleasure Cove.

[@Casitascrawlers]

Hope all goes well & you win the overall.

[@Tim_Ruiz13]

Tackle shop in winters about 20-30 mins max from Pleasure Cove

[@davidamato3690]

Bro, those Hobbit accommodations at Pleasure cove are special🤣🤣🤣!

[@branrichkayo]

Let’s go Greg! Hope the best for you!

[@sterlingparks]

Greg. Good luck, brother. Might consider checking really deep points with a deep diving crank bait or a two ounce spoon. Good luck!

[@mikem8502]

I think with all the rain and lake levels rising it’s increased the carrying capacity of the lake causing more baitfish and juvenile bass. It will be good fishing in a couple years but makes it tough right now.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

that makes sense and I hope so

[@charlesfitzgerald3201]

Yō, Thanks for the tip on the bait sacks, just got them today and now No more snags , great idea for anyone with multiple rods . Good luck in the tournament.👊

[@shawnguinup6971]

Greg. Since you fish this lake quite a bit have you ever jumped off the rock By the bridge. In the late nineties and early two thousands, Me and my friends would jump off Is the rock and camp a lot there.

[@Army_Outdoors_88N]

Great video dude. Amazing B roll. I am new to California fishing. I am Active Duty Army and just got stationed at Fort Irwin in Southern California and trying to figure out this new style of fishing. Way different from Kentucky,

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Really enjoyed this one Greg. Watching how much you've prepared, and all the changes there will be. You had a great tournament season, and really deserve this AOY! Going to make us nail bite again. 😂 🛶 🎣 🌊

[@kumaboyy.7443]

pretty productive day, maybe too late of a bite! oh, well, hopefully you did well, Greg!

[@valenor916]

Good luck GB!! 🍿

Good morning from australia! How good to have another GB video bring the native to Aus sometime!

[@blueheronfishing]

Good luck, Greg!

[@Longboard-Dude]

Mr. Greg . . . You're definitely putting in the practice time and hopefully we'll see the benifits of your efforts (i.e. you potentially hoisting an AOY trophy / award) in the final video 🤙. Looking forward to the Day 2 of practice and your crew's derby video; always an enjoyable vid 😄when your crew assembles 👊. Hoping the immediate area around Pleasure Cove was reproducible if you fished it Day 2 of practice . . . I guess we'll see 😉. Looking forward to your next vid 👍.

[@triciablanchard7747]

So great !?

[@Northern_Bass_Ninja]

The highland lakes up here in NH have been fishing the same way. Super frustrating weeding through small fish for quality. That said... congrats dude and very well deserved 😉

[@bigkat650]

If you know, you know... love the Finger Lakes sticker on the inside of the yak box! Good Luck sir in the tourny!!

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

thank you sir! can't wait to get back to the flx next spring!

Great way to start my day awesome video good luck

[@jacobice2011]

Dude!! You’re looking BUFF. I’m excited to see how this tournament goes.

[@MTWasks]

Best wishes Greg!

[@shparc1]

Surprising lure I do really good up here in Canada with lake trout is a 1oz saltwater style vertical jig. Drop it to the bottom, snap it up, sink back down and repeat. The stirred up bottom seems to really bring fish in to see whats going on or who else is feeding on something. Like Key West Waterman says, "action brings more action". Should give one a try! I had left overs from Los Buzos I brought back home and gave them a try in a lake trout tournament and they killed it.

[@brucepreston3927]

I'm excited to see how it turns out!

[@guts1005]

Oct 18th i went fishing on my bday with bunch of friends, Best day i could of asked for.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

awesome man happy belated

[@stevethomas9076]

I'm thinking Pleasure Cove first morning. A limit with a nice one or two should lock up AOY. Good luck to you sir.

[@barefootterry3785]

Go Scupper Fish! Hahaha been awhile since you’ve had one of those. Thanks for the video!

[@johnhill2298]

The suspense is killing me! 😅 I can't wait to see how it ends! Best of luck. Greg! 🤙

[@Basssmaster]

From what ive seen and learned from watching you Mr. Greg is i need to add spinnerbaits to my arsenal

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

the last 2 years the spinnerbait bite has been producing, can't say why, maybe I'm throwing it more but its now become a staple whereas previously I didn't even own maybe a couple

[@josephvillalobos09]

On another episode of GB fishing! Lets goooooo!

[@limpingfisherman1509]

I was wondering when you were gonna break out the flicker shad. That bait has been 🔥 for you in the past. I hope you crush them on that. Lol

[@scottnorthshorekayak]

I liked watching you trying to get a pattern/figuring out the bite..something I struggle with constantly..🙁

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

it can't be challenge for sure

[@StevenPlaysGolf]

Greg out here lookin juiced 💪🏼 lol

[@garymueller6488]

I lost a giant there earlier this year exactly where you are at. Still thinking about it. My heart is still broken. Might have been an eight pounder and a personal best. Once again it was huge. Good luck brother.

[@FishYourHeartOut]

You need to try Daiwa J-Fluoro Samurai Fluorocarbon Line!!!!!! I use 8lb with my megabass jerk baits ripping through underwater trees and I haven't lost a bait yet. Strong line, super thin!

DAY HAS BEEN MADE..!!!

Oh man.... a fish finding its way out through a scupper hole. 😂😂😂

Greg looking extra Yoked for his AOY tournament run. Good luck bud

[@Nateconleykayakfiahing]

Hey Greg, I never hear you talk about Livescope. Why haven't you added it to the rig yet?

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Honestly just haven't really wanted it that much. That said, i'll probably upgrade electronics with the new TitanX

[@LarryMeltonJr]

Let’s gooo!

[@mjonas3261]

Your truck has an issue Greg! If I am wrong I guess I owe you a soda or something. I noticed at the 30 min mark your Ram has a exhaust manifold leak sound when you were coming down the ramp to load up and pack out. Sounds like the drivers side. My credentials, been a auto tech for 20 years now and worked at a Dodge dealer for 13 of those. My Ram, my brothers Ram, and a Ram I just did the manifolds for a co-worker on about a month ago, all sounded like that Sir, lol... May want to verify if I am right or not with your local dealer or place your get your service done at. That Hemi sounds like its a chuggin!! Been watching you for years man, learned a lot from ya and just always enjoy your crew and your channel.

[@travisla1217]

I’d say best of luck, but I know this happened already. Hope you slayed em GB! Looking forward to the next vid

[@mikecway56]

Hey Greg, I had a question, the knot you use to tie on your lures, what is that? I keep watching trying to figure it out as you do it but cant ever quite see it.

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Hey Mike, the Jimmy Houston knot. Best knot for fluorocarbon applications imo

[@drewsims262]

Is there really no tackle shops anywhere close to berryesa? That blows my mind

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

probably could find one 30-40 minutes towards Sacramento but no town or businesses actually on the lake

[@sandybowers5085]

Looking forward to the tournament!!! #TeamGreg

[@dansmith388]

Are you really making us wait till next Monday? Lol I’ve been waiting all year for this my friend. I’ve been watching since probably the big C hit a few years back! Love the channel.

[@scottmclean337]

Check the oil in your truck. That thing is ticking pretty bad. Also letttts go! Good luck.

[@DeliciousBass01]

Great video. Why run crankbait at such a high gear? I was always told to run 6:1 or below

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

good question and I think mostly comfort with that particular reel plus and I can get away with it for shallow/medium divers. anything diving deeper or just a bigger/heavier cranks i'm going to a slower gr reel for sure

[@tanner228]

What rod and reel do you use for soft plastics/dropshots?

[@BASSnBEER]

Yo Greg, what is the white thing on your rear camera?? Im assuming something to help with over heating??

[@fishingwithbdawg3620]

You got this fish hard man win this thing

[@kylereynolds5112]

Hi Greg What is the name of the deep diving jerkbait that goes to 25 feet? thank you

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

it's a called a deep hit stick. Threw it a bit and liked it -bit.ly/3FEekZh

[@JosephSainzFishing]

Greg! Curious is there any season where you take a break from fishing or do you fish from Jan-Dec? Again just curious…

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

Good question! Nope, not since I've been out in California. Fishing slows down those months for sure but luckily the spotted bass and even striper fishing can be pretty decent when the largemouth slow down

[@JosephSainzFishing]

@@GregBlanchardFishing awesome man! Thanks for replying I am going to try and get on the water this winter. Just wasn’t too sure what others did. Thanks my man! 👊🏽

[@dne3142]

Hey Greg, before I bought my native I used the same truck (2014 ram 1500) a lot to take my smaller kayak out. But I haven't used it for fishing sense I got the slayer max 12.5 because I was told I need a bed extender for safety of travel. But I don't think I've ever seen you use a bed extender? What do you think about that? Do you use one, or am I good to just load my boat in the bed of the truck? Right now, I put it on a yakima rack with an ez-loader on my Honda accord

[@jamesh7469]

Unless your bed length + tailgate height is significantly longer than 50% the length of your kayak, you want an extender. You can get a $50 extender from harbor freight.

[@ddubbz1979]

What rear camera mount are you using? I need to get one.
