Haven’t watched the video yet but that thumbnail is awesome! Snow all over the ground here in Germany, glad to see someone enjoying don’t good weather
Man huddleston bite was perfect.....another good video
Greg did you notice how you got that bite?(huddleston) I'm sure you did but just in case. It seems like you casted outside the trough into the grassy side and made it seem so natural creeping into the middle of the trough!!! The perfect combo of right bait and right presentation! Hats off
Perfect timing. Getting ready for work and ding, notification... its cold here in IL. 29 deg air temp and water temps in the 40s. Living vicariously through you. Lol.
Where in Illinois? I live in Missouri but I work in glorious East St. Louis.
You’re saying you have open water but aren’t fishing? That’s soft
@@redsballer1904 i know right.. lol. No winter water gear. 😒
@@mrmalone28 OFallon, IL.
Its got to be weird when random people just yell out your name.
What a beautiful sunrise
Would love to see you take a shot at Lake Natoma. That place is tough to figure out.
I don’t think he’s down for that? It’s too hard lol or maybe he is down because it’s Greg!!!
If Folsom wasn't bad enough, I wouldn't wish Natomas on ANYone!
There are some big stripers in contra Loma and huge trout there and huge bass and catfish such a good fishing spot
Burning the midnight oil to get this one posted, eh? I finish work at 7:00 a.m. (4:00 a.m. your time), so it was good for me to have a new video to watch while eating my dinner/breakfast. Well done, Greg. Always enjoy your content.
Thanks for taking us along! Lots of great footage and knowledge. better than a fishing report!
Persistence pays off, great job. Fun to watch as always.
Shoot... Greg Fished Contra Loma. This is typical fishing during the winter time. Hit it in the spring when the Spawn starts... 8-9lb’rs! You will Crush! You def will get your PB
Same knot I tie...good stuff.
I was just thinking Greg why are you throwing that jig and not that magic jig combo you've gained so much confidence in. Then you tied it on and got some fish LOL 😆 👍👊
4:38am and I can’t sleep
Congrats Greg!! Awesome man. I’m still waiting for my Huddleston fish and I cannot wait !
This is a good omen for 2021! It finally happened!!!!
I love 5 minutes from this place love how it’s so close buuuuuuut are they even fish in there lol
We love you Greg! #TeamGreg
You are a great narrator!!!.
The thumbnail for this video is beautiful! Nice catch🙌🏾💪🏾🎣 COLD is here in Syracuse, NY🤣🥶
Dude badass video.... I’m just started freshwater fishing for bass.... I do mostly saltwater.... but thanks for your bass tips 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Nice one on the hudd! Hope to see you out fishing one day keep the great videos coming Greg! Caught my first fish on a huddleston 68 in 2020, didn't get to weight it though ended up shaking itself right out of my hand and back into the water. Tight lines my fishing friends! May 2021 bring you all lots of awesome fish 💚🎣🐟🐟💯
Same thing happens at one of my lakes, extreme amount of pressure an a ton of people fishing with live bait an night crawlers, makes it super tough on guys like us lol!!
I was not expecting that trout to be that big when you netted it, nice fish lol
Awesome catch! Was just there last weekend, and took awhile but ended up getting 4 on the ned. Will be back!
Yesterday I landed a 4 3/4lber on a finesse swimbait first cast in. My big fish of the 2021 season but Clearlake will shit that down this year No Problem.
Congrats on the Hud! I hope to get my 6" custom wet soon. 💢🐟👊🏻💢
Great video as always man
I haven't watched yet, but I am soo excited for this video!
Yeah thanks the north sucks this time of year that’s why I’m watching you lol
Do you watch "fish the moment"? There are some great video discussions about how and why fish can still be in shallowish water. And yes, year round vegetation is a factor.
Way to go!!
Awesome video.. can anyone explain why the trout was basically on the bank ??? 🤜🤛
POWER!
I like these videos before I even watch.
Hell yeah I love this place but its about an hour away from me. Last time I was there there was a 10 12 pounder by the left side cove up shallow couldn't get him to bite anything
Had to take an early lunch break to watch this new video woohoo!
That thumbnail is beautiful
use a ROOSTERTAIL grey/silver blade.
Awsome huds bite!
Thanks for saying the name
very good fishing spot location ... greetings strike👍👍👍👍
It's gotten to the point where my dog won't go to her bed until we've had a Blanchard upload and some chow 😂 can't blame her!
ayee my go to spot ! come back in spring n summer, primetime topwater blowups
Awesome video man!
What kind of knot did you tie on the brown jig?? Great video!!
You did it! Lets goooooooo
Wondering, I've seen you fish a few places in the US, and over in the east coast. So in your opinion do you rank the waters of the California Delta high, average or low in producing fish and variety in comparison to the other states you know of?
are we not going to talk about that beautiful thumbnail! ⛅️✨❤️
I noticed you dont go to the spinner bait much. That is my go to lure when nothing else works.
How long does it take for you to take your yak out and get it ready to put in? Also how much does all that weigh?
Do you know what strain of bass are in that reservoir? In southern California this time of year I try to go to the lakes that have Northern strain and Ill catch 20 fish in a day, the lakes that have Florida strain I will grind all day and maybe catch 1 or 2.
What is the knot that you tied. I use it also but dont know the name, so I just call it the Triple Tag End.
Who wants to see Greg go trout fishing
Never heard of that body of water until today lol
What did you do to
Extend the handle on your net
Did it rain that day with sun looking like that in the morning.
How heavy is the rod you use for the Huddleston?
Super pressured reservoir.
What knot did you tie your jig on with?
That place can humble you, you can skunk one day and have the best bag of your life of over 25lbs the next.
Don’t know about now. I haven’t fished the toilet bowl loma in over 20 years! It was a cesspool with big fish then 😂
@@KokoB1883 im only 23 years old so i never saw it back then but i’d heard it was pretty gross. Its different now.
Clean water, healthy grass, no swimming in the lake, and they inspect boats to avoid introducing problematic species
I’ve been fishing there for almost 30 years, it has potential to hold a world record.
@@anti-herofishing it definitely could produce a state record, but why do you think the fish get so big in there?
Obviously they have trout, crappie, crawfish, and bluegill to feed on, but that forage is present in a lot of places.
Its good healthy vegetation forsure, lots of ambush points, but that doesnt seem like the reason
@@_bassadd1ct_ I believe it is the oxygen level in the water, the vegetation there never dies unless they drain the water. With all that oxygen I think the fish keep eating year round and they don’t slow down.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Still dying to catch one on the hudd myself, sick video as always man!
Dang....3rd..........ON THE PODIUM!!!!!!!
1st good morning fisher friends 🎣
contra loma is a very hard place to fish, very pressured
You have brought a lot of attention to this small lake two days after your vid there where 10 to 12 kayaks in the lake every day plz keep the lake name on low 👍
Who wanna see Greg fish natomas or folsom lake?!?!
You say they don't bite when you are over them. I presume chumming is not allowed in tournaments so you want to stay disciplined. But I think you should try chumming when you are practicing Feeding frenzy.
I know for a fact Greg is gonna catch a tank here soon that’s gonna be in the biggest catches of 2021 video
Any other OCD subs out there who want to reach through the screen and clean Greg’s graph for him?😂
👋👋👋😂😂😂
Not OCD but yes. There is literally water all around him and you know he has a rag on that thing somewhere.
How can you not like this guy. Greg I have been loving the channel, to me its the best fishing channel on YT hands down. Keep it up brother from one northern California resident to another thank you for your contribution's
Cmon man it’s a small lake don’t shout it’s name
Here we go getting read for work and this hits my notifications hell yeah 🤟🏼🔥
Always remember there will always be fish shallow, even in the winter! Great video congrats on the first hud bass. 👍
Next time come fish Sam Rayburn you can go to a clear water lake called Kurth lake just up off the north end of lake and do your drop shot fishing and lots hydrilla fishing
Nice! Choked it. Can you do a rod and reel arsenal video for 2021? If you do, can you include what kind of line you use and for what techniques the combos are used for?
I noticed you are throwing the Depps 250 on some normal gear. Cool! I really dont want to buy another rod.
Congratulations on the Hud catch. Might be my first time seeing someone catch a fish with one. Thanks for videos.
Nice a contra Loma video!! U should do a lake Del Valle in Livermore. Smallies Large mouth and Striper 👍🏻
2nd and 3rd that for sure!
The guy running is a legend, lol definitely gotta say hello when you see the man himself fishing!
Wow I didn't know you fished!! You were great in the hangover movies. Moddafokka!
😂
I like watching all your videos but I was curious how much you spend on lures monthly?
I've got that same 6" Weedless Hud, planning on throwing it tomorrow at a lake that's planting trout this week, I'm hoping to catch my first Huddleston fish too! I also have a rainbow trout s-waver that I'll be throwing, one of them just has to get bit right? haha
I'm stoked for you with that hudd fish. I still have yet to get one, but I do have a waver 200 fish. Keep throwing the swimbaits, that's some of your best content IMO.
Bro its so bad up north... drove by the lake just to see and the lake is frozen over all but the middle... AND it doesn’t even get thick enough to ice fish if i wanted to bare the elements... im on the bench until March 🤦🏾♂️😢 keep the vids coming they getting us north guys through! 👊🏾
Hey Greg !!! Nice video! Contra Loma is tough, but spring time is decent!!! Gotta time it right though. One day it will be on fire, the very next it could be completely dead. Glad you came out to my home reservoir!!! My profile is actually my PB, which I caught at Contra Loma. I have a few videos on my page from there. I also caught a 10 lb trout!!!! There’s also striper in there. Saw three get pulled out of there in October, all around 12-15 pounds. The bait that works for me the best there is definitely a senko. The secret........ deadstick it! Cast it out and let it sit for a bit. My buddy caught a 4-5 lber, and my other buddy caught 15 fish in a day!! Good luck out there bro. Definitely recommend coming in the spring time!
really good stuff Greg. Your episodes seem to get better. intros, editing, angles. awesome. i can't wait to see you visit this lake in the spring.
I've been on this journey with you since 7K subs and its amazing to see your channel growing, keep up the good work
A giant 3lb er.....lol
yes the planted trout are basically starving....most don't survive....I've caught some skinny summer trout
Rip contra loma
Congrats Greg! Been waiting for this for a couple years!
I literally grew up on this lake from like 3 to 15ish years old. It was the first place my mom ever let me and my friends just run around at unsupervised…. Although it was the 90s and a lot safer back then. We used to chase around stripers, bass, bluegills and girls. A lot of good memories from this place. We used to fish the annual fishing derby, and I remember when the swimming area was actually in the lake. Literally flooded with memories. Thank you.
This lake will always be special for me. Grew up fishing there and really learned a lot from spending hours out there. Basically learned bass fishing on this lake. Thanks Greg
You need to fish the sac river, anywhere above Tidsdale. Just float from ramp to ramp with one of your kayak buddies so you can shuttle back up. Im sure you will catch plenty of bass and stripers
successful trip....went to a strange place, figured something out on day 1, went back on day 2 and exploited the knowledge you learned on day 1. Textbook fishing! good job!
Hey, from Utah. Reserviors with all lot of draw down. Drop shot, neko rig, Wacky rig and jerkbaits hard/soft are main lures.
I’ve had enough of that lake. I’m a bank fisherman and always skunk there every time I go there. But that lake holds giant bass tho. Seen the biggest bass in my life, probably a 10lber+. It was chilling by the bank and right when I came and saw it it swam away. The lake is too pressured so the fishes are VERY picky. I’ve used variety of lures, senkos, soft plastics etc whatever you can think of and never catch any. As a bank fisherman you can’t have access to the rocks too
