Hey Greg I just wanted to let you know that I found your channel back in November. In February I bought my first tournament kayak because you motivated me to go out and do it! Now, I'm locking into tournaments for the rest of the season! Thank you Greg for motivating me to get out there off the bank and onto a fishing kayak ive already trippled my catches from all of 2020 and its not even topwater season in NY yet. The water is still less than 70 degrees. So thank you! Without your motivation, I wouldn't be having as good of a spring as I have! Much love, and I love the content my friend!
I've come to using the term/approach of "Blancharding" while out fishing now. It's the act of not paying attention, or doing something while your line is out to catch fish. It's a highly effective tactic for sure! My gf thinks I'm hilarious 😂
Greg, you really lucked out with the conditions that’s for sure! Yes it gets glassy and calm but most of the time the wind picks up by the afternoon. Nice job once again!
Wow! What a morning. I was going to give you a bad time about not letting your top water rest from time to time to get more strikes but uhhh, never mind, you caught more fish in a couple of hours ripping that thing through the water than I ever have, and I live within 30 minutes of the lake and have fished Clear Lake my whole life. I tip my hat to you sir.
My parents were so happy to find a nice home some years ago when they retired in Lakeport, CA. The selling factor of the little town was off their back yard was Clear Lake. My dad was finally able to put his boat in his backyard.
Greg, thank you for filming your two days on Clear Lake. To have a day where top water fishing is the go-to bait most of the day, awesome. Those folks on the bass boat might have been upset you were catching all the fish in the area and they had blank stares on their faces. Thanks again, until next time.
The boys and I are planning a trip up there this summer. We're about a two hour drive away and never fished there. Really excited to see what we can do. Thanks for the videos.
Hay Greg. Try a piece of 20-25lb clear mono or fluro of about 10-15 inches to you lure from braid it will help with the braid not fouling up on the hooks. Might give you a few more bites as well. Keep well mate all the way from Australia.
This was definitely one of the top best videos you’ve done, and you have a BUNCH of great ones. This one seemed different, you were more at ease and laid back. Too often we are like a dog chasing the butterfly to really enjoy the moment, didn’t happen here, you had fun. Your quote about losing that excitement as you get older is spot on, honestly although I’ve felt that way I hadn’t formed it into a thought until you said it. More motivation for me to stop working so much and try to get out there in my 2 year old new kayak. One day. Thank you for sharing these trips with me.
I appreciate you showing the bait sticking to the net. There are so many minor inconveniences in kayak fishing and sometimes I wonder if it's just me lol
Always experiment for the future tournaments, things change day to day. Great statement, makes you feel like a kid again. I feel like that every time I'm on the California delta.
This was the first lake i was introduced to when i lived in cali. Been hooked on bass fishing ever since. I NEED to come back and fish this one more time but its so expensive :(
Hi not trying to be in your business but out of curiosity, why is it so expensive? Do they charge to fish the lake? Or did you end up moving away? Sorry for invading your space for a minute lol
Suggestion, we do this down here on the coast. Try throwing your topwater on about a 7'4 medium action spinning setup. 2500 series reel and 17lb braid. Mono leader for some stretch. You'll be able to bomb those topwaters a mile.
Greg those were two insane day's of fishing. Catching that many beautiful, healthy, active bass. The footage was awsome, above and below water. Especially those airborne strikes, we all love on a topwater bait. A well deserved, two day relaxing trip, with great weather for you bro.🙏 😎 🎣
Man I gotta know where you lunches your kayak at!😩 love fishing that lake. Going this Saturday. Want to see if I can land more than 3 in one day lol. This spot looks juicy! I just have no clue where it’s at???
Hey Greg, just wanted to thank you for all the fishing tips and especially punching. I got my PB on 6/6 near Walnut Grove, trying things you do in your videos. Just a hair under 8lbs. I've always shied away from punching. No more. If I figure out how to load a pic, I will. thanks again. PS, lol, I made the cardinal mistake and lost my next fish because I didn't re-tie.
Ahhh.. Clear Lake. That’s an epic two days! Clear Lake has kicked my ass at times but some days it’s crazy good. Nothing like topwater days, wherever you are. Let Sierra know that I switched to them because of you. I’d post photo proof if TH-cam let me. Carry on and fish!
Yo that blow up at 16:40 of the video! Freakin amazing! Fish went airborne for that walking bait 🚀🎣🤙🏼 Topwater bites all day like day, I’d call it an epic day for sure.
Nice my grandpa lives next to reds skyroon and when we visit we eat there and not down e I moved here I love bass fishing made some friends with bass boats and kayaks and get to go out on the weekend and fish
Man, I thought Bill Dance had started kayak fishing, then I realized it's my buddy Greg. 😂. Love it man. Simply an incredible place. Maybe one day I'll get there but it's across the country. So I don't know. Great job, great video. Thank you.
I don’t have a back camera mount on my kayak yet. But when I do. I’m sure I’ll hit the GB quick head snap back when something crazy happens too. Almost like someone is actually there witnessing it with you 😂 I already snap down to my camera with my hands in the air 🤣
Lol, when you mentioned the characters walking around Lakeport, you basically were being extremely nice about some of the areas over there. I've literally never seen so many methed out zombies in little towns like that. Never had stuff stolen, but I'd imagine its not uncommon.
Hey Greg, I've seen polarized go pro lenses on Amazon. Maybe give on a try so us viewers can see into the water when you're pointing fish out. Thanks for the vids!
I live here I kayak fish clear lake almost daily. Sadly the chanel behind the house is almost dry. Caught 90 bass this year so far. Nothing too big though. Some crappie also are my bass swimbait big crappie out there.
The one and only time that I was at clear lake was a KB F tournament a couple years ago. I didn't catch any of the fish I expected or the size. But I blame most of that on the fact that there was a huge algae Bloom with algae about a 1/2 an inch thick on the surface of the water.
That dang water is clearer than my bath water that’s absolutely insane for lake water to be that clear to me since I’ve only seen sam Rayburn Toledo bend and lake fork in my fishing adventures lol
"Fishing makes you feel like a kid again." You've got that right!
It’s such a healthy passion

When I go fishing with my dad like a kid I am so excited I can't sleep.. I don't think that feeling will ever go away. Nor do I want it to.

Dude I could literally watch this highlight reel for hours! Thanks as always for taking us along for the ride GB!
Makes all those in-n-out days worth it!
Thank you! No politics, no b.s. Thank you for showing the natural beauty and awesome fisheries of California.
Greg, you really lucked out with the conditions that’s for sure!
Yes it gets glassy and calm but most of the time the wind picks up by the afternoon.
Nice job once again!
That’s a good time right there. No Clearlake wind, fish are on fire, and that’s my favorite area of the lake by far. Good times.
Oh my gosh! I can't wait to be posting videos like yours when we are up and running at our lake house in Kelseyville. Incredible!
5:45.....beautiful morning on the lake......."this feeling doesn't get old"........SO TRUE!
Very well could be the best public Bass fishing in the USA. Thanks Greg !
What a great morning when you and TacticalBassin both drop a video within minutes of each other.
This is the only fishing channel I can watch a 30 minute video on and not even notice the time go by. Love your vids Greg!
Especially getting paid to watch it at work
@@tims_always_fishing7117 lucky haha!!

I just gotta say, when its not tournament days, you have a blast fishing and not only that you laugh more. Awesome video.

My god. Literally the best bass fishing video ever. So much action. Fish were just EVERYWHERE. Another awesome job Greg. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Definitely one of my best topwater days out there!
This was definitely one of the top best videos you’ve done, and you have a BUNCH of great ones. This one seemed different, you were more at ease and laid back.

Thx for taking us along bro! Keep the awesome videos coming.
Wow, what a day on the water. The views of the mountains were sweet.
Man what a day of fishing, 1 after another. Love those kind of days with that popper.
Nothing better than a top water bite
2 Epic days! love the underwater footage! " just like BASS Pro Shops Tank" Loved it!
Doesn’t get any better than a cup of coffee and a Greg Blanchard video to get the morning started! Lol
“First cast first bass” thats my personal motto period and out here on the delta. I see you G
Didn't even see a soul on that lake?what a great couple days of fishing bro
I appreciate you showing the bait sticking to the net. There are so many minor inconveniences in kayak fishing and sometimes I wonder if it's just me lol
Always experiment for the future tournaments, things change day to day. Great statement, makes you feel like a kid again. I feel like that every time I'm on the California delta.
Epic day! Nothing can beat a killer topwater fishing day! Good work Greg.
Thank you for visiting Clearlake! Always good to watch your videos. Great underwater footage.
I was whooping and hollering out loud in my car, watching while waiting for my kid to be done with practice. Fun trip! Thx for bringing us along!
You have bottled the "little kid fishing excitement" again and again for us, but this one was some triple IPA strength for me, Greg. Cheers!
Awesome videos!! Thx for sharing the underwater footage 👊 You have the best fishing/kayak fishing channel period. Thx again
This was the first lake i was introduced to when i lived in cali. Been hooked on bass fishing ever since. I NEED to come back and fish this one more time but its so expensive :(
Hi not trying to be in your business but out of curiosity, why is it so expensive? Do they charge to fish the lake? Or did you end up moving away? Sorry for invading your space for a minute lol
Man what a fun bite. Not too many days you can throw a top water all day and get lit up like that. Nice job!
Looks like you had an awesome day of fishing brother. Love the topwater bite!!!
Suggestion, we do this down here on the coast. Try throwing your topwater on about a 7'4 medium action spinning setup. 2500 series reel and 17lb braid. Mono leader for some stretch. You'll be able to bomb those topwaters a mile.
You killed it!! Great content as always!! I need a 3x shirt LOL!!! Hence Big Mac
Awesome session and outstanding underwater footage 👍
Love me some clear lake content. I definitely need to get back out there.
Greg those were two insane day's of fishing. Catching that many beautiful, healthy, active bass. The footage was awsome, above and below water. Especially those airborne strikes, we all love on a topwater bait. A well deserved, two day relaxing trip, with great weather for you bro.🙏 😎 🎣
Thank you sir! Very fortunate to have the conditions and fish cooperate for two days. Rarely happens!
Probably my favorite fishing video!
Awesome footage on a spectacular lake!
Top water is such an awesome bite.
Awesome job taking us on the fishing trip dude!
How are there not more subscribers? Best kayak fishing channel out there.
Great topwater action! Dream of a day where that happens to me over here at Puddingstone lake. Good job brotha
Great day on the water😎. Absolutely love the top water bite❤️
Another amazing Clear Lake video. Love topwater action. Keep it up!!
Man I gotta know where you lunches your kayak at!😩 love fishing that lake. Going this Saturday. Want to see if I can land more than 3 in one day lol. This spot looks juicy! I just have no clue where it’s at???
Love it at 16:38, that’s a nice strike!! Great video Greg!!
Another great video Greg. Caught so many wow.. love it !👍💪
nice and amazing fishing spot , thanks from France for this video !
Your videos make me want to call out of work & go fishing lol, I'm currently installing new flooring and watching your video at the same time😝🤘🏽!

Absolutely crushed it! Congrats
Ahhh.. Clear Lake. That’s an epic two days! Clear Lake has kicked my ass at times but some days it’s crazy good.
Nothing like topwater days, wherever you are.
Let Sierra know that I switched to them because of you. I’d post photo proof if TH-cam let me.
Carry on and fish!
Right there with ya Tom. Had some great days and some stinkers out there. Haha, Cheers!
Wow what a two day fishing trip. Lots of hooksets and blowups on top water. As usual vid was top notch. Lol when I grow up I wanna be like you Greg 😀
Definitely some cool bites.
Brad is the man!!! Can’t wait to get up there myself! Also that bite looked awesome!
Like the wildlife shots too.
Last video was awesome, but I’m about to go to sleep. I’ll save this for later in the morning and I’ll enjoy it with my coffee.
#GoodDaySir
What a trip man! That place will spoil an angler!! Great stuff Greg.
Until I learned the color of the gills in my bay. This makes the world of difference choosing colors. Black and blue has been the SAUCE here
Wow, everyone of those was my PB. Never caught more than 5 in one day. Boy I love fishing crappy lakes in NE.
Yo that blow up at 16:40 of the video! Freakin amazing! Fish went airborne for that walking bait 🚀🎣🤙🏼 Topwater bites all day like day, I’d call it an epic day for sure.
Can’t beat a good top water day on clear lake. Great footage and editing Greg. Wish I could have been out there with ya!
I. I a. I. Z ia
Nice my grandpa lives next to reds skyroon and when we visit we eat there and not down e I moved here I love bass fishing made some friends with bass boats and kayaks and get to go out on the weekend and fish
Man, I thought Bill Dance had started kayak fishing, then I realized it's my buddy Greg. 😂. Love it man. Simply an incredible place. Maybe one day I'll get there but it's across the country. So I don't know. Great job, great video. Thank you.
haha! For, phenomenal fishery and at the right time it's just too much fun. Might be worth the trip one day!
Great video as always!
Dang slayed them on top water good chit Greg!
I got out there yesterday, I managed to pull 5 off some beds despite the less than favorable conditions lol I still feel like I'm riding the waves 😂
Can't beat a fun topwater bite! I'd love to visit Clear Lake, if only it wasn't a 38 hour drive 😭.
Lol I never lost my child like excitement towards fishing. I still act like a 5 year old when I catch one, no matter the size 😂
haha I can relate!
I don’t have a back camera mount on my kayak yet. But when I do. I’m sure I’ll hit the GB quick head snap back when something crazy happens too. Almost like someone is actually there witnessing it with you 😂 I already snap down to my camera with my hands in the air 🤣
That’s some bad ass content bro 😎 keepem coming.
Great show man
You are really gifted in the video producing business.
Doesn’t get much better then that man!👏👏
Lol, when you mentioned the characters walking around Lakeport, you basically were being extremely nice about some of the areas over there. I've literally never seen so many methed out zombies in little towns like that. Never had stuff stolen, but I'd imagine its not uncommon.
🤣
I like how your fishing in my home town lake and you catch more fish then me keep in mind I’ve been fishing Clearlake for over 8years 😭
Great video Greg! Thanks.
Damn that was a very exciting day of fishing! I need to make a trip there one day👍
Hey Greg, I've seen polarized go pro lenses on Amazon. Maybe give on a try so us viewers can see into the water when you're pointing fish out. Thanks for the vids!
You Don't Get Days On The Water Like This Very Often Were it is Fish After Fish Nice Man
I live here I kayak fish clear lake almost daily. Sadly the chanel behind the house is almost dry. Caught 90 bass this year so far. Nothing too big though. Some crappie also are my bass swimbait big crappie out there.
Nothing beats bass eating topwater. All I caught yesterday were dinkers on a popper I tied and I would do that over and over again if I could
The one and only time that I was at clear lake was a KB F tournament a couple years ago. I didn't catch any of the fish I expected or the size. But I blame most of that on the fact that there was a huge algae Bloom with algae about a 1/2 an inch thick on the surface of the water.
After watching you I just just booked a trip to clear lake March 2023.
very entertaining to watch, just like the last video
Greg why is the bottom of your yak always full of water? Scupper plugs....?
Yes.... I knew this s*** was coming out today. Hell yeah. Part 2. I like. I really like it.
Sick TW Action 👍🎣
That dang water is clearer than my bath water that’s absolutely insane for lake water to be that clear to me since I’ve only seen sam Rayburn Toledo bend and lake fork in my fishing adventures lol
Looks like you put on a show for that bass boat 🚤
I bet if I would’ve went that same day and with the same set up I wouldn’t catch S&!t… lol makes it look easy. Great video
I caught a 7lbs bass at Clearlake last month
I know you don't fish the Super Fluke much but it would cool to see if you can crush them on it at Clear Lake.
