Your chunk trailer is a modern version of the ol' "pig n' jig". In the 70's guys used to fish a jig with a pork rind trailer. this was before the advent of plastic trailers and creature baits. Uncle josh was the brand of trailer that was advertised in the bass master magazine.
Honestly I think Greg's videos just appeal to older audiences more and TH-cam is made up of mostly younger people. Most of the professional fishermen on the site don't have a ton of subscribers compared to the guys who goof around the whole time they are fishing.
I would like to say thank you for you sharing your knowledge with us. I am newer to bass fishing. Went out yesterday and was getting nothing. So I tried a drop shot and caught 3 fish. Would not have been able to do that without your video. Thanks for sharing.
Back in the day when I lived in Concord (60s ) I use to fish and Ski Franks track ! Early morning smooth as glass ! Really like your Delta trips ! Thanks 😊!
1:49 lmao! Greg, you would have a panic attack in saltwater lol. A buddy and I were fishing newport in our float tubes. We saw a huge sea lion. Might have been mating season. It kept following us and finally swam towards my buddy and bumped his tube pretty hard.
Hey Greg, I want to say thanks for showing me how powerful a drop shot is in shallow water. About 2 years ago, I decided to give it a try here in Louisiana because of you, and now I can definitely say that it's my confidence bait. I've seen it to where a fish won't even sniff a texas rig, but they'll crush a drop shot! It's amazing! Thanks again!
Greg great video! I'm waiting for the day, when a pup hops on your boat. They do in saltwater, but there being chased by a whale. I love my freshwater, any water is dangerous, but on my kayak, catching bass there's a special feeling. Be safe bro.🤟🙏🙏
I remember one of my first times on the delta a beaver scared the crap out of me. I was just sitting there and right next to me it slapped the water and I had no idea what it was til I saw it.
Just one of those mornings when you have to fill an entire bucket and then calling your bucket a keeper. The weather was at least enjoyable. Still better than getting skunked and the need to stop by In-N-Out.
I just bought some more zoom z drop in green pumpkin. They were only 2$ a pack so I got 10 packs. That is by far my favorite drop shot bait and color. 👊👍
Greg my dad and I learned to fish the "jig and pig" in the early '80s Uncle Josh's Pork Rinds number 11 (the size you're fishing) and 101 sizes the 11 for largemouth and the 101's for spots that's all there were. You had to wrap your pork rinds in a wet paper towel or plastic bag to keep them from drying out running between spots. However, once we figured out how to fish it (pre youtube and f1 strains) I don't think we ever skunked again because no matter what you could find some riprap and get at least a bite. Sadly Uncle Josh's went out of business I have a bottle of 11's and 101's for sentimental reasons but those organic pork meat products really produced and fish would not let them go most of the time. Anyway nice to remember some of those precious times when as a kid life was simple, thank Mr. B
Look at Greg all hip to the chunk trailers! The big action on those comes from the hinge made by how you hooked it. It's more of an up and down action than side to side.
nice video Greg. Way to stick it out all day. I hate sea lions as well. they used to sneak up on us while we were waiting for waves in Santa Cruz and Capitola. Scared the crap out of us.
That’s why we love you Greg! Bite was tough and instead of packing up early the man said “we might be out here a while” I love when failure fuels people. That’s the attitude of a winner! What’s your spinning rod setup for your drop shot rig? When it gets windy like it looked like in the video I have a hard time feeling bites on a drop shot
Haha thanks Shane. Its a 7' Medium but I think the bait was just landing on a bed of a male and theyd just suck it in so the bite wasn't super obvious today
Who are these people that thumbs down a video? I really don't get it.. if you don't like it, fine, move on.. but why click thumbs down? This was a great video that deserves nothing but thumbs ups all the way. Keep it up, bro
Great video as usual. That chuck trailer can be deadly in the spring it all about displacement. Try a zoom fat albert grub we have had some great success with it on Chickamauga lake the California delta of Tennessee.
I know you had a slow beginning, but it made me feel better. You're a skilled angler who was experiencing a grind. I don't feel so alone LOL Glad you eventually got some nice fish and got a limit. Good luck with your tournament on Berryessa. We're going this Saturday 😊
Awesome Vid man. Finally bought my first kayak and have been out twice. Got a 5 on my second trip, such a different, bigger world out on a boat. I found your channel three years ago, when I came out of a 17 year fishing hiatus, and your videos started the fire again and got me into a yak, so thank you. Noticed you decided to wear waders and boots? You usually wear muck boots I think, so any special reason?
Speaking of weighing fish, I'd like to see how much variance there can be in a given length. For example I think a 100" limit of LMB could be anywhere from 20 to 30 lbs. Personally I've caught 19" fish that were 6 lbs and 19" fish that were barely 3 lbs. We'll probably never have these stats but I'd be curious to see any given tourney standing in inches as well as lbs. Great vid as always Greg, thanks for taking us along
Think like you've said before Greg, never really know what's going to trigger them. One day this in that location, another day that in this location. So recon the "Chunk" is merely added to the arsenal. Good news I recon drop shot or not you finally got on some. And that one semi heavy weight.
Greg, are you familiar with the tournament at Lake Perris the 17th? I might take my boat out there and observe. Seen them kayak guys stick some nice fish out there before.
Hey Greg! Big fan! Thank you for all of your videos. I'm from South Florida have been fishing here my whole life. Have you ever fished Lake Okeechobee or anywhere in South Florida?
You ever fish L-bill style cranks around grass? Been having really good results with strike king 1.5 shallow diver and hybrid hunter jr. around grass here.
I find that those bite windows are far more accurate on tidal fisheries than on lakes and reservoirs. I see you've added some Abus to your arsenal. Any particular reason you are going with them over Shimano? I just got a few of the new SLX XT reels and they are awesome especially for the money! Great video catch you on the next one!
That's a grind of a day... had a question for you Greg. What crate do you use? Need to get a new crate. And yours looks like it is pretty efficient.thanks
Hey Greg, I noted your spin your rod after you remove from rod holder and getting the lure ready to fish. Do you twist the line around the rod tip? And why? I enjoy your vids and appreciate showing your less than stellar days - I have been skunked at Frank’s Tract before :( Thanks. Tom
I'm new to bass fishing this would be my 2nd year so far 0 fish in the boat. Where exactly is the ca delta I live in fresno ca from the info I've gathered there's multiple places called the delta if u could share maybe so boat launches city's ect... that would be helpful enjoy the videos thanks.
Greg, does your lower back ever get sore? I know you’re a PT by trade. Just wanted to get your opinion on it. Between the drive to the lake and being in the yak all day, mine gets tight even with the Hobie PA seat. I try to stand up a bunch. Does that lumbar support piece you have really work? Thanks brother
Greg, I have seen you using the rub on scent with your plastics but I can't remember you saying or showing us the name of this product. Can you let us in on your secret? Thanks.
Does anyone know if his kayak wheels will fit a pelican catch 130? Prefer those over a C-tug. Also this is why I wait until May 1st to start fishing, freezing my butt off on Washington State lakes for maybe a few fish is a tough sell for me lol

Does it mean I'm old if I remember those ads? LOL
@@Marko-goes-fishing me too
How does LFG have 900,000
I still have a jar! They last forever so it was impossible for them to make money 🤣 1 jar will last you 10 years if you don't break off.
@@Henfishitydog I have a jar too...lol
Let’s get him to 💯k this year
Was thinking the EXACT same thing!
Yesssssir!!!😮😮😮
Let’s do it! Tell a friend !!
Maybe he will give that Jonny boat away. Lol
@@ickukln that would be cool
You've been churning out consistently good videos for a long time. Should have more subs. Great content.

@@eliaskruse6315 why do you say?
Starting the mornin off right ☕️ an Greg...Mornin everyone
W ex. Do.
Great to see you adding conditions and temps in the video
I've been threading my chunks all year but I am def going to try this technique next time out.
I would like to say thank you for you sharing your knowledge with us. I am newer to bass fishing. Went out yesterday and was getting nothing. So I tried a drop shot and caught 3 fish. Would not have been able to do that without your video. Thanks for sharing.
WOW!!! Haven't thrown a jig-n-pig in at least 5 years. Glad to see it still works! Thanks for posting.

Great job Greg, persistence pays off..and another banger...
thats what i love about fishing, you dont catch anything all day and then booyah, your rippin a lip. great video my friend.

Haha oh man, now that will be an interesting video!
Being held up by corona virus right now but watching you fish is always fun
great honest video. I've fished old river and franks tract one day last week and again yesterday... really tough couple of days for me...
I remember one of my first times on the delta a beaver scared the crap out of me. I was just sitting there and right next to me it slapped the water and I had no idea what it was til I saw it.
🤣
I had a friggin sea lion pop out of nowhere and right next to my yak....He was hoping to grab my 🐠

i only just found you man but im addicted to your content keep up the good work
Add a piece of Senko on the jig as a body. Helps hold the chunk trailer at back of the hook.
I would have never thought to use the chunks like that. Might have to try that. Thanks!
I just bought some more zoom z drop in green pumpkin. They were only 2$ a pack so I got 10 packs. That is by far my favorite drop shot bait and color. 👊👍

Way to persevere and get that bag GB! 🤙🏽
Look at Greg all hip to the chunk trailers! The big action on those comes from the hinge made by how you hooked it. It's more of an up and down action than side to side.
Absolutely pal. I always start with my smaller finesse baits. I throw the ned rig and small swimbaits and wacky worm and always catch some.
@@BeastEdits107 the action on them is really under rated
Good job Greg, Franks gets lots of pressure at times. some day are on and others not so much. Fish On Bro!
Z-drop saves the day again.
Love getting a notification that there is a new video from you. Keep doing what you do man. It’s great.
What a day! Love seeing your videos! It has inspired me to keep grinding.
Thanks Greg. I was going to go back to camanche Sunday but I think I'm going to prefish spots in the delta
Greg has the best hair to ever grace a bass fishing video!
Damn Bro! @ 12:55 you caught a nice fish stick...lol.😂
Dedication and persistence! Love to see it. Good stuff as always Greg.
Should have more subs. Great videos and you've been consistently churning em out for a long time.
Awesome Awesome video, keep up the great work Greg! Tight lines my brother 😁🎣
Can't wait to get off work an kick back an watch the Man Greg B do some work videos are always awesome man appreciate all the hard work

Can you make a video about your favorite spring baits!
15:14 CLANK! Way to hang in there and keep searching.
Great video as usual. That chuck trailer can be deadly in the spring it all about displacement. Try a zoom fat albert grub we have had some great success with it on Chickamauga lake the California delta of Tennessee.

Sweet fishing video. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome fishing, u have alot of patience. Have u ever tried a fluke minnow, it works to. Thanks for your fishing patience!!

When are you going to upgrade kayaks?!?! Looking forward to you doing a new kayak rigging videos!!
Andy Cooch Cuccia used to use a Yamamoto flapping hog or a chunk rigged just like that. Glad I got to fish with him, R.I.P 🙏🏼

Gregs drive box cover probably has so much kvd craw on it, it would work as shark bait 🤗
Thx for another quality vid 🤙
Think like you've said before Greg, never really know what's going to trigger them. One day this in that location, another day that in this location. So recon the "Chunk" is merely added to the arsenal. Good news I recon drop shot or not you finally got on some. And that one semi heavy weight.
It does not help if you are fishing after a big tourney weekend either! But good job, Greg! Some nice fish 🐟🐟 🐠
Greg, are you familiar with the tournament at Lake Perris the 17th? I might take my boat out there and observe. Seen them kayak guys stick some nice fish out there before.
Hey Greg! Big fan! Thank you for all of your videos. I'm from South Florida have been fishing here my whole life. Have you ever fished Lake Okeechobee or anywhere in South Florida?
I'm actually your. Biggest fan.
Great video again..... Are you using the same line lbs in the delta like you do at the lakes???
Can you give some detail on why you use both left and right casting reels?
What happened to the crappie Maxx jig, you use to use during hard condishhz
“I suck at fishing today”
🤣🤣🤣 said by every fisherman at least once or twice................or three times 😝
😂
Greg - recommend a spinning reel for $75 or less? Drop shot/Ned rig etc setup. Thanks! Love your videos!
U kept grinding. Btw Sierra Nevada hazy n wild thing are incredibly delicious 😂
Making video like this in my area would trigger so many screaming spot burn but this was awesome video 🤙

You ever fish L-bill style cranks around grass? Been having really good results with strike king 1.5 shallow diver and hybrid hunter jr. around grass here.
Yea. There is 2 sea lions in the area.
Out going tide today.
I'm looking into getting that net. No one specifies if the pvc pipe is 1" inner diameter or outer diameter for the extended handle.
DEFINITELY REMINDS ME OF UNCLE JOSH'S PORK RIND
I find that those bite windows are far more accurate on tidal fisheries than on lakes and reservoirs. I see you've added some Abus to your arsenal. Any particular reason you are going with them over Shimano? I just got a few of the new SLX XT reels and they are awesome especially for the money! Great video catch you on the next one!
Do you ever try a top water bait?
That's a grind of a day... had a question for you Greg. What crate do you use? Need to get a new crate. And yours looks like it is pretty efficient.thanks
@Greg Blanchard the trailer looks so aesthetically unpleasing though!! Ugh, would be hard for me to rig it that way lol.
Greg, what are name or band of those lure covers that you use?
💚💚💚
What tie do you use for tiring monofilament and braid together?
The ugly lure looks tasty to the bass. Nice to catch some biting bass.
Com back to so cal and fish with us!
Surprised there aren’t any people crying about “spot” burning 😂
Hey Greg, I noted your spin your rod after you remove from rod holder and getting the lure ready to fish. Do you twist the line around the rod tip? And why? I enjoy your vids and appreciate showing your less than stellar days - I have been skunked at Frank’s Tract before :( Thanks. Tom
R there any fishable banks there?
3:11 Backlash Matters
So many fish caught after a backlash
Chartreuse spinnerbait with a large Colorado blade gold or chartreuse gives lots of thump and slows it down in that stained water 😆
I'm new to bass fishing this would be my 2nd year so far 0 fish in the boat. Where exactly is the ca delta I live in fresno ca from the info I've gathered there's multiple places called the delta if u could share maybe so boat launches city's ect... that would be helpful enjoy the videos thanks.
What pole mount do you use for your hero 7s?

Greg do you get cold easy? I noticed that you had like ten jackets on.🥶
haha not really but the wind chill factor got to me even with the sun out
Aww yeahhh
It’s funny that today what used to be the normal live worm rig is called a drop shot rig.
Should run a bandito bug through there. 🤷🏽♂️
Which kayak is this?
Fellow anglers watching this on the toilet roll call!
Is there any spot to fish on the bank ?
Does anyone know if his kayak wheels will fit a pelican catch 130? Prefer those over a C-tug. Also this is why I wait until May 1st to start fishing, freezing my butt off on Washington State lakes for maybe a few fish is a tough sell for me lol
THANKS FOR LETTING US TAG ALONG ... ??? WATER TEMPERATURE ????
What’s the deal with sea lions?
Why don't you like seals ?. Another Great video. Keep them coming
Hello Greg, just curious, do you edit your own videos or have someone else do it?
Hi, I edit all of them
Looks like a good spot for waterfowl
There are floating blinds in there every year. If you get too close with the boat, they will pepper you...:)
Man I feel ya...try top water for better quality or stripers to keep the day interesting..
