@@XploreAzsame here. I don’t care if I never catch a thing just being able to see the sunrise and the sunset is a blessing in my opinion. We have some awesome views on the lake around here. Be blessed.
Love the change of pace and that was a beautiful little river float with plenty of wildlife and good fish.Bummed you didn't get that swimbait fish !Definitely would consider trying to match the sky backdrop or even a camo colored shirt next time 🤙
Thanks for taking us on another field trip while I'm having my coffee. This was quite a hiking excursion, but pretty scenery nonetheless. It's always funny to see how aggressive fingerlings can be towards lures that are bigger than they are. Shasta was full if them last weekend. BUT you did show a pair of good keepers 👍 Best of luck! 😊
I use a bare bones kayak mainly for bass fishing. no motors just a paddle. I have added a tool to fine tune my kayak position which works great and I don't have to deal with my long paddle. I use a ping pong paddle and it works great. quick and easy.
I’ve owned several inflatables and love them. They are tough, but the quickest way to get a puncture are fish fins. Hooks don’t do it and rocks don’t, but a fish flopping into the side or on the deck will. I net every fish because of that. Other than that they’re fantastic.
Cool, cool, cool. Love the change up. You can see the pressure drop in your psyche like we spoke about last week. Trying new things and having a good time. Thanks for the video. Gives me a few ideas.
I wish I had some areas like that to fish near me...I have to travel pretty far to get to a spot that isn't beat up on a daily basis...Great video as always! I might look into getting one of those inflatable kayaks, they would be awesome for some pond and small lake fishing!
Giant swim bait and no frog ,Greg lol. You should have tried the swim bait in the last lake you went to lol. As always thanks Greg we love drinking coffee and watching you fish.
Nice spot (river) to fish, I caught my biggest small mouth to this date on that river 40 years ago 5 3/4 lb I was sixteen. There definitely some big largemouth hanging around.
Arizona fishin seems to be like all the extreme places from cali fishing from the delta and our pressured lakes mixed in every spot, if that makes sense lol
After 3 weeks of no fishing, I finally was able to buy a new car after totaling my other one. Now I just need to order new pads and clips for my yakima rack and I'm back on the water for the close of the season! But at least i can bank fish now until my rack is back up! Love the content as always, Greg! And the fingerlakes are waiting for you to come home for a visit! I still wanna take you over to little lake lol
Great video, Greg! I just fished this river on Wednesday. Caught quite a few spots. Nothing huge, but the fish there are super aggressive and fight really hard. I'd like to see you fish Rancho Seco Lake in Herald
@MMPullz Nope. All rivers are open to the public. The access into the river where they launched was private, but if you launched downstream, you could paddle up. The river is moving pretty slow rn so it wouldn't be too hard
I too wonder how bass can live all winter in the reservoirs with the water so high and muddy and freezing cold. Then they shut off the gates and it becomes a stagnant Lilly pad infested bog full of largemouth
You seemed to be surprised catching Small Mouth. As soon as I turned on this video and saw you getting into moving water, I was thinking, is he going Small Mouth Bass fishing? I like doing that once in awhile. I fish Shasta lake mostly. But fall time I like to target them below the dam in the Sacramento River. They fight hard! Especially when they’re in the current.
Bass are a strange and mind blowing fish! I fish the Russian river closer to the coast in Sonoma county an I’m amazed by how many giant LARGE MOUTH, SMALL MOUTH, stripers, & carp are in those pools. How they got there how they stay there is just crazy. Especially if you know how much water can be flowing in the Russian river.
@@GregBlanchardFishing the river I’m talking about is in Monte Rio by Guerneville. There’s only about 50 different docks, 200 lay downs, 72 grass mats, rock, sand, weeds, 10 pools, and giant fish in and around all of that. Definitely a place you should check out. An the coast is only hop skip and a jump away with awesome seafood and great crabbing 💪🏻 just sayin Greg… I’ll drop that pin lol
So.....I wonder...how many times you sit down in the inflatable and put your feet on the pegs and try to pedal?!? I would do it more times than I care to admit!! Thanks for posting.
I like the idea of the inflatable platform but looking at y’all paddling it and fishing from it looks like it doesn’t track very well and if moved around with the slightest current or wind gust. Enjoyed the video. Yep.
That looks like a really nice area but that's not my kind of fishing. I'd rather fish in a marsh or a lake. I guess it's nice to try something different every now and then though. 🙂👍
why so long for your uploads, went from 2 per week to 1 every other? Tournament of Champs was a while ago a your competitors have already uploaded. we prefer your channel to see who won!!
dude! why don't you wear a hat? i am turning 67 next month and several of my friends have been cut on for skin cancer. my mexican buddy's dermatologist told him that many blacks think they wont get skin cancer but many do. us 1/2 asian guys gotta watch it very closely. i always wear a wide brim hat outside here in tennessee and use spf lotion too.
Thanks for the change of pace! It is always cool to see a new place that you get to fish.
Great way to start a Friday morning cup of coffee and Greg uploading to enjoy it with!!
Yep. I'm. watching at work on break. Rest will be finished with some food after work on the TV. Night shift. 3 more hours in shift lol TGIF
I like to live vicariously through Greg due to being a veteran with PTSD. Thank you sir💪🫡

What a fun adventure! Nice to see you and Nick fishing together again! As always, look forward to the next video! 🤙
Absolutely love these types of videos
Thank you both for ur channels and content.. Nothing better than coffee n fishing, except going fishing!!

Greg, Great video with Nick! Thanks for the great adventure feature in RM! Sorry for yelling down at you both, didn't know you were filming..LOL
Haha no worries at all, love it when people say what's up out there

So rad! I love the sierra foothills! Awesome!
Love watching collabs. Amazing how many camera angles you had going on when you were dragging the yaks over land. Great editing.
Nick was a good sport lol
Another top notch video!
Awesome another video what a pleasant surprise
Beautiful place to fish!
Thank you for the video.
Good video. My kind of fishing. So much to see in river floats.
Those are some nice and healthy spots!
Those small ones looked like redeye Coosa bass? I have heard they were out in California
They were for sure, blue checks were the give away
I use a bare bones kayak mainly for bass fishing. no motors just a paddle. I have added a tool to fine tune my kayak position which works great and I don't have to deal with my long paddle. I use a ping pong paddle and it works great. quick and easy.
That's a great idea!
G-Man always has good stuff! Perfect channel to watch with my little girls! Keep doing you buddy
G-Man? I didn’t see Gerald Swindle.
Greg, now that was an adventure. And you still caught a couple of beautiful fish. Awesome trip out bro! 😎 🎣 🛶
GB on the Sundolphin at the end! Love that boat, had it for years. Cool video man.🤙🤙
Love the new adventure! Let's get GB to 250k! Let's go! Of course, making my ☕️
Now that was some Adventure fishing!

Beautiful area & fish & a great adventure thanks for taking us along.
Good morning Greg let the Kayak Fishing begin!!
Basshookup was killing it!
Right on bud! Way to mix it up. Cheers!
Thank you Greg!!!!! AOY 2023!!!!
Always looking forward to these videos after work.
That's a perfect day of fishing, in my opinion
I love going through creeks on the kayak. Just not down no rapids though haha.
Maybe it's just me, but that better spot you caught mid video seemed like it's pattern and colors were super vibrant and bold... beautiful fish!
Agreed some really pretty fish in that river
I Was just finishing up watching one of your “YAK A Bass” videos then i seen this video pop up, my morning couldn’t get any better, LETS GOOOOO. 🙏🏽
Yes sir good old fashioned river fishing
Trying something different. Awesome adventure.

Love it!
Fish the area right below the rapids/riffles, smallies like the current.
Very fun.
Inflatables and hooks sounds like a good time to me 🥳
Those kayaks are tougher than you think. These aren’t Walmart blow up kayaks.
That first pond has a lot of nice fish in it, you should try out the big lake Some bigger largemouth.
Love to watch them swim away 🤙🏼
I’m jealous Greg. Just ordered some nessies and they are back ordered till October.

This is my favorite time except for spring of course. Fish are eating and getting ready for winter, good time to catch pigs.
Those "smallmouth" were redeye bass that's awesome. They don't get very big

Morning everyone hope everyone has a good day
Looks like a good opportunity for a hover rig with a small swim bait.
Fun fact, if a deer has a hurt leg the opposite antler goes wonky.
Hot coffee and Greg in the morning 👍

Bass hookup sighting!
Wondering what type of boat you all were useing on the pond. Looks like a nice size for putting around
First of the morning!😂
Only Greg would bring 5 rods on a creek fishing adventure lol.
Shit I bring 3 times as many as this
@@BassNinjayea you bring 15 poles
I think it’s a tournament fisherman’s habit 😂
Props on not mentioning coffee 🫡
I always just bring coffee
Your friend has a lot of trust leaving his kayak just sitting in the bed of his truck.
So.....I wonder...how many times you sit down in the inflatable and put your feet on the pegs and try to pedal?!? I would do it more times than I care to admit!! Thanks for posting.

Where is this at
Greg have you ever thought about doing a late night evening fishing video?
Have you tried the NRS Pike yet?
Rancho Murieta!
I have never been in a kayak on the river how do you guys return your kayaks when you get to the end you guys just stash him and walk back
Looks like they left a truck downstream
Yo Greg, would you ever do the Brazos run in Texas?
Can someone recommend a good spot to fish this weekend? I'm in NorCal and I cannot skunk Chabot anymore.
That first fish kinda looked like a meanmouth bass
Go down the rapids you got it😂
Greg try a G-Ratt Sneaky Pete and pistol Pete
Can I get the GPS loc to this?
That looks like a really nice area but that's not my kind of fishing. I'd rather fish in a marsh or a lake. I guess it's nice to try something different every now and then though. 🙂👍
No small keitechs? Really?
First to the key!!!!
I would run a metal detector down through there too
In the future, watch out for snakes, buddy. Rattlesnakes not just any snakes .👊🏼just looking out.
That’s what she said. You’ll know it when you here it.
Agree. The dude is way over the top. But great!
Opening shot in the car was very uncomfortable to watch(for me) . You shoved all the rods onto your guest so the camera can have a clear view of you?
I know that area. Watch out from them 🐍
S waver you know it color
Snakes frogs bugs anything that hits the water they eat it
Greg just change your channel name to “Coffee fishing” or etc because it seems like most of your viewers are just coffee dudes 😂
COSUMNES I'm guessing
I think it's Michigan bar Rd on the cosumnes!
why so long for your uploads, went from 2 per week to 1 every other? Tournament of Champs was a while ago a your competitors have already uploaded. we prefer your channel to see who won!!

Why?
@@Stevegardens85 they just rip off other, smaller companies baits.
Definitely looked like a good time!
