- Back in the Finger lakes of New York and outfitting a TitanX 10.5 to get us on the water during our stay to some of the best fisheries (imo) in the world. The focus with this kayak is to keep it lightweight and portable while still packing my favorite features in a fishing platform.

That bandaid segment was just adorable 🤗🩹
hahaha that ole crusty bandaid probably did more harm than good🤣
How awesome is it that every year you basically go back in time two months to the prespawn on a fantastic fishery!
3rd shift at the boiler plant. Coffee and fishing with Greg. Makes the tiredness go away. Now pumped up to fish
What’s a boiler plant
@@CentseiSam VA hospital. Utility power plant. Maintaining boilers supplying sterilization steam for medical equipment and building heating elements.
Same here working on a boiler
Idk how you do it lol. I’d fall asleep to his vid. It’s relaxing.
Bro this is me 12 hr shift at power plant plant Bowen Cartersville GA now time for some fishing lol carpenter for boiler lol
Great time man. Always glad seeing you visit home and catch up with your family.
Also, I hope I’m contributing to your watch time averages decently lol. I normally have your vids streaming in the back when I’m about to do something that takes a while.
Greg throws a chatter everyday for three years to never throw it again and is surprised that they bite it at the stomping grounds lol. A long lost love rekindled.
This weekend for me was just like when you were fishing that first dock. All those fish and no bites. I found like 4 big schools I could see on the fish finder and not even a nibble lol
haha i feel ya. super cool to see them but such a bummer when they don't eat
Just got home from fishing 4th lake in Old Forge. All post spawn now lots of rock bass and a few smallies. 90 degrees here today
I was regretting not bringing some rods with me as soon as I started driving by all that water!
Ahhh back in NY. Love it. The 5 lber was a beauty. That water is so clear! You are getting pretty good with all the rigging. I am getting a second kayak so that I can leave one at my Maine vacation site and the TitanX Max is one I'm considering. Just worried about the extra weight. I might have to go demo one somewhere. Really like the looks of that yak. Thanks for sharing.
You should do a video on why you decide to move to California
Greg I’m from Webster live in Cincinnati now. Sure miss fishing the lakes and even the canal. Live 5 mins from there as a kid and would walk the canal trail and fish the hell out of it.
Just can't beat the lakes around here. I haven't found anywhere else in the country like it
Should’ve stuck around for Hobie event on Cayuga next weekend!
Dude I tell you what. I have been watching for a while now and love all the insight and overall video production. you also are so real and let us get to know you and I appreciate that. And I love the new york videos man, the second that text that said new york i was like oh hell yeah, this video is gonna be crazy. What a beautiful fishery they have up there and such beautiful fish. Thank you for all the great content. Also my 5 year old loves your videos and references you when we go fishing and catch bass.
thank you sir and NY is always such a treat for me and fortunate to be able to come here in the spring. Tell your 5 year old I said whats up and tight lines!
@@GregBlanchardFishing will do man. Enjoy New York and safe travels
Been waiting for this one. Im southern Ontario so this close as current fishing advice from gregs bite 😂 happy fishing greg 🎉
Hamilton is home for me; was pretty stoked when I saw Greg coming to NY.
Not gonna lie, that kayak looked pretty inviting 🤌
been good to me so far!
Sitting on Seneca lake watching it rain watching your vids. Waters 60+ now and full moon has them moving!
That storm was short but pretty crazy! Tell those fish to keep moving up shallow haha
Another one damn greg your killing it in the kayak world you have so many kayaks and I’ve never even owned one that’s crazy.
My one and only hobby over the past 10+ years🤣
Gotta love those natural lakes. I grew up almost 3 hours from you in Dunkirk NY. Right on the border of Lake Erie.
can't beat em. Nice, some great fishing all around us
I still think you’re crazy leaving that place for Cali fishing. Haha!
agreed🤣
A beautiful day on the water and really digging that native watercraft kayak in blue. Thanks for sharing your day on the lake can’t wait to see that kayak fully rigged out and put through its first tournament run. The moment I can see a Greg Blanchard video pop up on my feed brings a deep satisfaction to my soul and to watch and experience a day in the life of bass fishing just hits me in a different sort of way and for that I say thank you!!!! Until the next big tournament take care tight lines and God bless!!!
thank you sir! thats really cool to hear and will continue sharing the trips for as long as I can!
It's sooo rewarding and a great feeling when you cycle through baits for hrs and finally figure them out!!
I spent a lot of time in Old forge when I was younger. I grew up about 40 mins from there. Lots of great hiking and of course the fishing is awesome as well. Not only can you hit all the lakes in that area but pond hopping with a ultralight canoe/kayak is also big up that way.
Welcome back home. If I ever get some money to buy a new kayak we gotta hook up for a fishing trip.
Nice to have you back home... I look forward to the next couple of videos of you back home... It's always a treat for me....😊😊
feels great to be back home, a true vacation for me
@@GregBlanchardFishing the fishing seems so much better in these NY videos, I'd move back home.
Id love to have just one of these kayaks and hes got I think at least 4 of them now. Maybe 5.
You motivate me man! My life has become worth living again since I started on a kayak back in the day after coming across your channel. Let's see a oklahoma episode some day!
we made a trip out there from mass the last week of april and we crushed them on chatterbaits. was looking forward to this series of videos from you
that's a great day to me Mr Sir !! Catching Fish Seeing Fish Being On the water just Fishing .... win win !! Thanks for sharing your trip back Home ... First time ever using a Slobberknocker & ( black/blue ) was last ye on the CA Delta 3rd cast running the outter grass line an WHAMO seen her come out an nail it 👍 tip the scale @ 3.89 ... now it's tied on each time i Fish the delta .... plus i just like the name .. SLOBBERKNOCKER !! LoL 🤣
That’s a sharp looking boat
Super clear!
The only thing I could suggest is getting some yak attack tie downs and using synch straps to secure your blackpak down. The pieces that hook into the corners aren't very strong and if you flipped the yak those will break and your crate will go with them. I only know from watching a buddy loose his crate, tackle and rods that were attached
Back home, new kayak, and catching fish - Great start to your vacation.
Old forge!!! I used to go there every summer fly from Colorado or Arizona and trout and small mouth fish!! I spent a week or two in the summer one of the best places to fish in the world!!!!!
Always great getting home! Enjoy
Finally.. all day of work and now home to enjoy greg.....
Being up in the northeast myself, I love the NY trips every spring!!
Always love your NY series, always a treat. I live in Lakeport Ca and can relate to your local fishing videos as well. Thank you sir!
The Finger Lakes are a gorgeous fishery with clear water! What a nice change after a Clearlake tournament (Toxic Avenger!) The new kayak seemed to be a success - yay! Very 😎 to see you hook a couple of footballs, so envious! Thanks for taking us to NY with you. Enjoy and have a great weekend! 😊
Glad to see you there. You have a great time on the East coast. Enjoy. Thanks for the video.
It's been a great trip so far, Scott! sad to leave soon
I Miss the "Simple" Kayak😃. NY looks awesome for fishing!
I love a new video morning. Just makes the day that much better
Watching Greg’s vids gets me into the mood to grind even on days where’s it’s rough . You get us out there Greg , and so do you . Appreciate your content sir . Cheers
Welcome home G.B. I'm in Rhode Island, so my season just started. I usually go to M.A, and C.T. because there are much bigger lakes to fish. But, up north the fishing is really amazing, this time of year. 💯 🎣 🛶
Man Rhode Island has so much great fishery for saltwater fishing. I hope I live there
Greg thanks for taking me with you!! Kayak looks great! Good fishing have a blessed day!!
Welcome back to Building Kayaks with Greg Blanchard . On today's episode, will dive deep into Titans and show you how to make the best kayak for your fishing adventure. Come along with me😅
probably won't build anymore for a while🤣🤣🤣
Greg - when is the kayak getaway. I mean at this point you have about 30 🤣. I still haven’t launched my Old Town w/ Minn Kota after having for last 2yrs 🤦🏼♂. Ha. 🤣
Maybe next time your at Folsom Lake ( your nemesis lake ). Always look forward to your New York videos from here in Cali. Tight lines 🎣
haha it's in the works and thinking maybe ISE next year. maybe then but find anyone that has a yak and get out there! i bet there will be a good topwater bite going on soon if not already
Really enjoy your videos. As a native Upstate NYer, always get a kick out of your annual Homecoming visits. Surprised that you traveled all the way to Old Forge for your new ride. Bought both of my kayaks there - 2017 Old Town Predator MX and inspired by your quest for a smaller boat, bought a Native Watercraft Falcon 11 in 2022. Thanks for sharing your fishing experiences, friends, and being a great inspiration to this 70 yr old!
Welcome back to NY
You look so happy to be back at home!!! Great video brotha!!!🎣🎣🎣
im always amazed of how much the fish pulls me on a kayak
Back in New York!!! Great start on your new kayak💯👍🏼Looking forward to seeing more adventures while your back home❣️Have an amazing time fishing and with family 😊
Thank you, Sandy! it's been a great trip so far and can't wait to share more fishing trips
Favorite channel lately super consistent and truly loves fishing
That big boy woulda been my PB. Awesome fishing.
Another banger! On my way to LA right now! And rewatching your videos! I hope you fish with be the fish!
We know the season is officially on when Greg shows up. Cayuga lake magic dock time!!
EVERY single time I go out I end up cutting something on my fingers and not realizing it. EVERY time😂
Awesome video!
Coffee and watching greg
Starting to look like a normal garage 😉👌😂
Nice Greg! Making me wanna get that TX 10.5. Have a boat but no yack yet. My brother has been yackin’ a while and I see the advantage of where yacks can go and ease of transport especially in traffic and over long distance. Hmmm 🤔 Probably gonna pull the trigger this year - lol 😝 Thanks for all the vids!
nice! like i said, being able to just get out on the water hassle free is super underrated
Greg got a boo-boo! 😅 Looking forward to this series of videos!
🤣🤣🤣
Damn you're home! If you're still in NY, I have some sick spots to show you!
Just discovered your channel today, great videos! Thank you, I have looking at Old town, but I’m like you I want something smaller but as customizable as the big boats. The Titan is awesome😊
Awesome kayak and great video!!!🤣
Coffee time!
Nice sharing 👍👍👍
Shoulda mounted moms Santa gnome on the stern with an anchor light. 😅
🤣🤣🤣i like that idea, maybe next year
good work
Ahh yes. Grilling some trout and watching Greg fish. Awesome morning.
Trout in the morning? Nice! Gotta try that
@@bassketchum yessir. Caught it and cooked it right away.
Nice looked like a good day out it’s always well worth spending that extra time getting ready. Seems like bass in California are longer those fish are short but thick & definitely very healthy.
hey greg, a small drop shot like lure that is a mayfly, is very good to kill the skunk. it gets blue gill small bass will smack it and big bass will snack on it. just good to get your feet on your ground and work your way up and feel out the fish on what they are feeling like doing, a chase, or an easy meal.
Love when you take us home with you. Cheers bud
Nice boat.
Hey G.
Next time try a 11- S Rapala in silver and black or gold and black with a spin cast rod for those fish!
When you entered the "3rd marina" I was shouting at the screen "back up and throw a glide", then boom... 5lber on a jig. What do I know. lol
I drove 6 hours during Covid and bought my yak from them.
He's got a kayak for everyday of the week. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Figured you were on the way out here, when I saw your old boat on Facebook Marketplace.
gotta make room in the garage
@@GregBlanchardFishing can’t have the parental units complaining about junking up the space.
The bigger fish in that group under the barge be like, lets get Mikey to try it... Hey, he likes it, hey Mikey!
🤣🤣🤣
morning!
Love the vids glad to see your feet are dry ....lol sometimes the water looks deep in your yak
thank you sir! I think this boat not having like crazy amounts of gear/weight to it keeps it much dryer or really keeps the hull high enough in the water so the water can't push in
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Check out the YakGadget Quadbar for a single fish finder mounting option. I just bought it for my TitanX 10.5 and it's pretty clean if you're only running one graph. I know you typically run 2, but for 1 graph it looks a lot sleeker than the captains bar.
THE PHONE!!
Mom Blanchard in the next live stream chat... "Gregory you forgot to clean the garage before you left" 😂
Weird seeing you on a Titan and not be standing in a few inches of water. Definitely a much lighter kayak build!
Awesome build !! One question tho is about the foot steering pegs what brand are they ?
Ironic… anything you like, I seem to like too 😂
Good to see your back home.
Hey Greg, can you give me a link to your foot steering controls that are on your setup back home? The ones that the Wizard installed for you. I cant seem to find that roller foot peg style track anywhere man. Thanks for the help, I'm a long time fan! Keep up the grind 🤙🏼
thank you sir! Hit up @wizardwerx on IG, I know he's got some plans for the kit and the one I ordered the parts through
Wake and bake, cup o coffee and the new GB video it’s looking to be a good Wednesday my friends.
Thank you Greg and we know you will bounce back after last tournament. Way to grind boys. Tight lines
Those foot pegs for steering are awesome. Since native is the same company as Bonafide I wonder if they would fit on the bonafide pwr129.
They are not Native they have to be custom made or something because they are not for sale online and Greg always glances over them really fast.
Anyone else want to see Mikeybalzz and Greg go fishing? Just me?
I'm currently working on setting up my first "real" kayak and doing foot steering. The steering is gonna be natural or really take some work to get used to I imagine. Hey maybe I'll see you some time in NorCal Kind of a newb getting into the tourney seen out there. Your vids are insightful.
Ahh yes ,coffee is good and Greg Killin It in New York good mornin. 👍 I think it was probably the water temp that was kinda affecting them. Like you said Greg it was warm before you got there then a cold front. I have a feeling if it warms up ,your gonna have a great time in New York. Thanks for the video bro.
yessir! weather has been crazy like rainy cold one day and then 80 degrees the next and i guess its been like that all spring making these fish act kinda funky at times. Fishing has been great tho, only had 1 "semi tough" trip and even that was like a 85'' bag lol
Are you using the stock bracket for the new seat? Didn’t need an adaptor or anything
Where do you get the under the seat drawer?! I have a titan 12 and i just have a small storage box under mine kind of a hassle getting in and out can’t find the drawer
Do you travel with all of your electronics and black pak on the kayak?
Looks like Native could’ve really designed the rear tank well better. It would drive me crazy having to add foam under my box
Hey Greg, can you share if you cut the charger cables and tried Anderson plugs? Just curious how people are charging these days...
Also in New York and I have a slayer max 12 it’s a beast and just got a nk300 on it testing that motor out this weekend !!!
helluva setup! you'll love it
