Greg 1st offI, you're a ttrue mentor've, and one of the best anglers out there. We all look up to you!! I've been fishing with my dad, all my life. He passed last year. He sold his 32ft center console 15 yrs ago. He got his pilot's license and bought his own, ultralight aircraft, and became his passion. So I just started this year fishing again. I purchased my 120 pdl, Hybird. So she takes the PDL, fitted cockpit trolling motor, and has the transom setup for a light electric outboard. I saved, and just installed my Torqueedo 1103. So this is my 1st season back. I love my kayak, and don't see myself upgrading. I've met great people, and new friends. I feel like that little kid, fishing out of the 4ft inflatable raft, most of us had, with our pole, nightcrawlers, and the red and white bobber.lol..You're a great mentor, I'm in New England. So summer and spring is our season's. You're a true New englander. So you know. God bless..🤟🙏🎣
Ive been asking myself,why are gregs videos so enjoyable,to me?#1 i enjoy the set-up,i mean the intro of you getting in your car,arriving,loading up,with nice mello music.by then im anxiously awaiting the fishing,and you seldom disappoint. & i cant believe the gr8 fishing all to yourself.when i have to go to the bay area its total chaos on the freeways
Brother this brought me a lot of nostalgia, I rode my bike to where you just launched that kayak and use to fish that exact spot as a kid! Grew up like 5 miles from there. I still go back to the area and the fish the river and lakes. You are by far my favorite TH-camr now.
Not sure your age (I’m 34) and it’s Hard to believe we could have been down there during the same time having that be our fishing stomping grounds so to speak!
yep......we are blessed out here in norcal. whenever i go to another lake in another state its exactly like this....then come back to clear and catch chunks again....ahhhhhh
Soon as you go New York...I’m going Canada! I’ve only watched your channel for about the last month or two and been a big fan since. Wish I could’ve gotten a signature or picture..great vid!
WoW! That was some tough fishing. I have to give credit where credit is due and I applaud your perseverance and not giving up. You stuck with that lake and tried to figure out the pattern and hung in there. Many would of left after day one for greener pastures and given up. When it is tough and you have to figure it out is how you learn instead of going to a place where you know your going to catch them easily. Tight Lines! 🐟
I grew up fishing on Oneida Lake the unofficial thumb of the Finger Lakes and usually we didn't catch too many bass unless early morning or just before sunset. We fished for food and caught many other species like Walleyes, Perch, White Perch, many different Panfish types, Bullhead, etc. If we caught a Bass during the day, that was a bonus!
NY finger lakes region!!! Visited that beautiful part of the country many times during the 80’s and 90’s. Watkins Glen to be exact. Fun times!!!! Love that area. I’m sure you will find them. Thanks Greg.
You know your pfd is comfy when you wear it to drive! Also, I love my Native Slayer! I bought it last year largely because of your channel, Greg and my desire for a light kayak that I could really fish well out of. Thanks and keep grinding!
Awsome lake , you struggle a bit , but you didnt quit , those bites in sutch shallow water was awsome to see , to bad some miss the frog . Waiting for 2 Booyah frogs like the black and yellow you have 😉😉💪💪
Wow! that was tough. But you can definitely say you gave it a really good shot. I have that same paddle it's a verygood paddle. Verygood video Greg better luck next time.🙂
Currently out with an injured back meaning I definitely aint taking the kayak out lol. Your fishing vids have been keeping me goin as of late. Cheers dude🍻
Hi Greg, absolutely love your channel, seen all your videos, fantastic. A little bit about me, I am 76 years young been bass fishing most of my life, think kayaking is so cool. Watching your video of your trip to New York and it got me thinking about Clear Lake, yes I live in northern California, anyway watching you fish that deep grass, here is something for you might try, LV 500 yo-yoing it through the grass this is a deadly technique on Clear Lake, catches big fish and is deadly. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
Keep it up! You inspire me to get our there- no matter what. Can you do a segment on Who is Greg Blanchard? Where did you grow up, how’d you get sucked into the sport, who inspired you then?, who inspire you now?, favorite lake, pro bass angler heros, etc. Hope to run into you some day out on the water.
THanks Mike and I like that idea. I'd like to re-do that at one point as here is a video highlighting a lot of those questions granted it was 5 years ago! th-cam.com/video/CleO16GTBGg/w-d-xo.html
Always love the quality video. I've only live in the delta are for 4 years now and started fishing last year. Im always on the lookout for good fishing info.
That’s so funny how I asked you when you were coming to NY and 2 videos later you’re out here. Crazy thing is I was going to the five finger lakes a few weeks ago. Great stuff! If you want to come to NJ and catch some out here, hola at your boy. 💪🏽💪🏽
Why not try Taughannock Park? Deep shoreline has rock and have caught bass in the past there. Always have the Ithaca area. Nice to see you home away from the fires!
Man Greg, looks beautiful in New York even tho the fishing in this vid was slow. I must say, you’re intros and outros are the best ever. I know I’m watching GB just by the intro man. Keep up the good work. Tight lines my friend
Hard couple of days! It has been a little brutal here in the northeast. I live in western PA and the bite has been SO slow for weeks. The one constant I have seen is that the bass are feeding in the really thick stuff and pads still. Thanks for the vid dude.
Nice video sir!!! I have to say that I personally love watching you fast forward and stop because I know the "stuff's" getting ready to hit the fan. The anticipation just gets my heart rate up. LOL Tight lines!!!
Gives you all the reason to go back for a fourth day an hit those Lilly’s!!!! Locals were letting the Blanch with a laud bang to stay in your lane on the water!!! Lol
Really liking the way you are filming and organizing your vids lately man! Noticed a new reel for your drop shot rod, how you liking it!? Looks like a Abu Garcia!

I've always seen frogging as your strongest technique. Surprised you didnt start with it.
Your intro songs are hella chill...🤙🏾 respect bruh!
Me: Why isn’t Greg catching like he usually does?
Greg: Pulls a banana out of his cooler
Me: Ah
Lol thats funny and its funny how some actually believe that.
🤣
😂😂
My first thought, too 😂
Your problem was that banana. Loving the sp10!!!
Even when you struggle, I learn a ton. Keep it up. Most relatable angler lol. 👍
That’s for sure he is so knowledgeable!
Greg leaves Cali now he’s feeling the pain like the rest of us. 😂
Day couldn't get any better ready to smoke one an relax an watch this amazing video. Every video from Greg B is top notch entertainment
Yea buddy that's it!! Im Smoking one right now watching this video and reading some comments. Love it man!! 👍👊 😁
I swear braid has a mind of its own. I get that "how does that happen" thought all the time.

Must be nice to go to New York and escape the smoke. Today is definitely the best air quality we have had in awhile. Enjoy the videos thanks Greg
Thanks Mike. Good to hear, I'll be return back to CA soon

Recently started using those trailers for chatterbait.. works amazing! More bites than ever.
Welcome home! The struggle up north is real! :)
I can’t wait to watch this whole video after work!!!
on the toilet finna get at least 6 min out of it
boy this hits hard and makes me miss my hometown in NY. Covid has kept me away from my yak and lakes for too long! Thanks for sharing as always Greg!
Like the fact you didn’t run off to another lake. Way to stay and figure it out! Great job!!
Brother this brought me a lot of nostalgia, I rode my bike to where you just launched that kayak and use to fish that exact spot as a kid! Grew up like 5 miles from there. I still go back to the area and the fish the river and lakes. You are by far my favorite TH-camr now.
Very cool Shane! Great spot and I remember when I was young fishing it from the bank with my family. Cool stuff
Not sure your age (I’m 34) and it’s Hard to believe we could have been down there during the same time having that be our fishing stomping grounds so to speak!
yep......we are blessed out here in norcal. whenever i go to another lake in another state its exactly like this....then come back to clear and catch chunks again....ahhhhhh
Truly appreciate beo for all that you do and just your outlook.
Great video! I was born and lived in Canandaigua. These lakes are all gorgeous.
Thanks Jacob! Love the FLX!
I see you rockin’ them Waterlands!! 🤘🏼🐟
Soon as you go New York...I’m going Canada! I’ve only watched your channel for about the last month or two and been a big fan since. Wish I could’ve gotten a signature or picture..great vid!
These videos are great! Thanx to you, I will be purchasing a Native Slayer Propel 10💪🏾🙏🏾
Been really enjoying your videos, Greg!
Oh the joys of putting all your gear on a kayak! I can relate
I love when you go back to NY!
Me too, OLA!
WoW! That was some tough fishing. I have to give credit where credit is due and I applaud your perseverance and not giving up. You stuck with that lake and tried to figure out the pattern and hung in there. Many would of left after day one for greener pastures and given up. When it is tough and you have to figure it out is how you learn instead of going to a place where you know your going to catch them easily.
Tight Lines! 🐟
Agree completely! Tight Lines George!
Thanks Greg. Have fun in NY
Welcome back home Greg to the beautiful northeast! I started watching your vids back when you lived in NY before the move to California.
thanks man! I remember you from the previous vids!
Still fun to watch ... Like that setup... Yeah.. You just remembered how the bass are a little different here up north ... See you on the next video
Dude! I wish I could have gone fishing with you, I'm right by Cayuga lake! Its been tough this summer there though!
I grew up fishing on Oneida Lake the unofficial thumb of the Finger Lakes and usually we didn't catch too many bass unless early morning or just before sunset. We fished for food and caught many other species like Walleyes, Perch, White Perch, many different Panfish types, Bullhead, etc. If we caught a Bass during the day, that was a bonus!
Oneida remains a fantastic fishery!
@@GregBlanchardFishing Now my fisheries are in Orlando, FL! 😎 My largest Bass length here is 25"!
14:14 sounded like a gunshot.
Greg’s response: “what was that??” 🤷🏻♂️
Watch out, it’s dangerous out here for fisherman nowadays! LOL
Haha scared the crap outta me
NY finger lakes region!!! Visited that beautiful part of the country many times during the 80’s and 90’s. Watkins Glen to be exact. Fun times!!!! Love that area. I’m sure you will find them. Thanks Greg.
Love Watkins Glen! beautiful area and some great fishing, Angel!!
Wasn’t fishing then. Just racing. Many find memories. The after race parties were the stuff legends are made of.....
Greg your the man. I fished a few of the hobie tournaments and kbf this summer and I pretty much started throwing the jig because of you
Great stuff from a really beautiful part of the US. Thanks for sharing even tho the fishing was tough!
Great work my friend. Went out yesterday after watching one of your vids and caught three 3.2 pound largemouth bass in 40 minutes.
Nice work Scott! solids!
Yes! I was hoping you were heading this way! Welcome back home! From Ithaca NY
Welcome Home! No motor, you will return in better shape!
LOL!
Another great video Greg. Stay Frosty.
Banana on the boat 😳👊🏽
I enjoy all your videos, but esp love your New York series! Living 3 miles from Otisco Lake, the Finger Lakes are familiar.
Best way to start the day...
Dreaming we could be living his life. I agree lol. I have 3 kids now and this life style is impossible so I live it through Greg!
@@p3teytran right there with u brotha. I have 1 kid an he has autism so I’m lucky if I get out once a week. Live the dream threw Greg.

that late summer fish funk! thanks for watching man!
Great start to the series. Pulling for you to "figure it out" more!! Can't wait for the next vid to drop!!
love it! never give up!👍 welcome back east for a bit!
In a CRV no less, That is a pretty compact set up. Nice having a rig on both coasts.
At 1st I was like ...... Greg washed and cleaned his kayak. Then I noticed it's a year old video 🤣😂🤣🤙
Welcome home, love the vids.
Thanks John!
Really wish you still lived on the east coast. Would really enjoy some local videos. Maybe I should start my own local vids.
3' and under sounds like some Clearlake areas 😆. Remember they don't mind shallow especially when the sun ain't out.
Haha knew you would upload this morning😁😍🎣
Love the videos! Getting a Titan Propel 12 this winter and i cant wait
My home water. Love it
First couple seconds reminded me of the silent fishing vid. We need another soon 👍
haha that silent video has some mixed reviews but I liked it lol
@@GregBlanchardFishing h8ers gonna h8 buddy. Silent fishing vid once a month ftw 👍
Hell yeah, your home.
I really want to come fishing with you. Im in Buffalo and will drive anywhere. Im in a Bonafide yak but no power.
Syracuse in the comments! I just discovered your channel it's awesome to see you're a NYer
Nice video sir!!! I have to say that I personally love watching you fast forward and stop because I know the "stuff's" getting ready to hit the fan. The anticipation just gets my heart rate up. LOL Tight lines!!!
Thanks JC!
Gives you all the reason to go back for a fourth day an hit those Lilly’s!!!! Locals were letting the Blanch with a laud bang to stay in your lane on the water!!! Lol
LOL! scared the crap outta me
You should check out Goose Bay, it’s 3 hrs North where u r on the St. Lawrence
Great to watch!
Awesome video just count to two when u set the hook with the frog
Really liking the way you are filming and organizing your vids lately man! Noticed a new reel for your drop shot rod, how you liking it!? Looks like a Abu Garcia!
Hope to see you at Oneida
Wish I could make it but will have to head back to CA soon
When Greg says I had enough of the California smoke, guess I’ll go visit my fam. Lol
Hey Greg another great video keep up the great work
