    Hey Greg, I was on the paddle board while you were heading out. I ended up catching and released 3 huge salmon that day. The last one tipped me overboard, and I ended with a treble hook in my foot! It was an honor meeting you in the waters. Love your content!

    What a pleasant day to be on the water where the bass were cooperating too, that slough was loaded with bass. I really enjoy watching your videos, they are so well made and so professionally produced, viewing the area with overhead shots, wildlife roaming the shoreline, the turtles sunning on the tree limb...all make it more enjoyable. You are the Best, thanks for sharing Greg!!

    Just wandered in after moving two feet of snow off my clearly-too-long driveway and what's waiting but this little gem. It's wonderful and a little sad too since I won't see a shallow-water fish for probably 5-6 months. Love the simple trips; fishing was supposed to be this way instead of the high-powered, pressurized thing it's become (which is still fun.... sometimes).

    • @GregBlanchardFishing
      @GregBlanchardFishing  Месяц назад

      I'm a little sad for you! Hey, but in 5-6 months when you're out there and see those shallow fish for the first time that feeling will be amazing!

    Always good to go back to the "Basics", Greg. Really enjoyed this one, as it's getting time for me to start fishing the same way now that the temps are falling.
    I have to hand it to you (following your channel for over 6 years, and you are the reason I've bought 2 Native 'Yaks and LOTS of other gear), you ALWAYS seem to captivate your audience by your fishing adventures and the sheer enjoyment you bring us!
    Thank you Again, for this Video.

    Coffee and Taquitos while my pups are snoozing at my feet - nice to watch another video of yours as an Atmospheric River is predicted to hit the Bay Area. I'm cozy under my Godzilla blanket, enjoying the shots of nature you showed like the turtles and beaver.
    That bass you reeled in, thinking you were snagged on a log was ideal! Now why can't that always happen when we're stuck???
    I think your old boots are good luck charms 😉

    I know that spot well. I normally catch a few but not every time that's for sure. It's also a decent spot for striper and I've even caught rainbow trout out of there too. Mostly, I use spinnerbaits and Texas rigged flukes.

    Pedal yakker here. Rookie angler at best. I’ve been looking into putting a motor on my kayak. Though I Love the idea of a spotlock, I love the idea of having little obstruction in front of me more. It’s a toss up as I do have a hard time staying in one spot on even a mild windy day. Wondering how you’re able to manage this, especially during a tournament where it’s essential staying within that target zone. TIA. Hope to see you out there sometime. 🙏🤘

    • @GregBlanchardFishing
      @GregBlanchardFishing  Месяц назад

      you said it. It's def a toss up with pros/cons to each. I would say if you're fishing shallow rivers, skinny water, etc go with the stern mount. If you're fishing bigger lakes, open and deeper water go with the bow mount. Or go crazy and get both, its not unheard of these days lol

    Love watching your videos man! If you ever feel an itch to try something new you should look into Pyramid Lake Nevada. I believe every good fisherman should give this place a try. Not very common to fish a place where a 10lb trout is common and 20+lbs is possible.
