- Опубліковано 22 бер 2020
- In this video I hop on a plane and head to Dallas, Texas where I pick up a UHaul truck, borrow a kayak and catch a decent fish or two in preparation for the B.A.S.S Nation Kayak Tournament on Legendary Lake Fork!
HUGE THANK YOU to Mariner Sails for making this trip possible. Check them out and show them some love.

FRIENDLY REMINDER FOLKS - This video (and the entire Texas trip) occurred March 12th - 15th which was right before things got crazy in this country. Being in the San Francisco Bay area, I've been on a "shelter in place" order for 1 week straight now and have yet to go fishing (Fortunately, I am still able to work since I'm in healthcare). I've got 1 more video from Texas (the tournament) on the docket but other than that I'm not sure if and when I'll be able to fish locally again. Lakes, parks and other launch ramps are closing one by one despite fishing being a permissible activity with appropriate social distancing.. More than likely, fishing/content will slow down a bit on the channel so if anyone has some creative "at home" video ideas, I'm all ears. Other than that, I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe out there! -gb
Greg Blanchard do some updates gear videos or talk tournament strategy with lake maps and stuff. Or do some bank fishing if ramps are close
If you work in health care wouldnt it have been more responsible to your patients to just go fish on an isolated lake? Why travel across the county and possibly pick something up.
Stay safe man, just got to let this crisis pass. The bass will be fed and big by the time you get out. Stay healthy and safe. We'll still be here. Nice vid tho.
A five minute 'fit for fishing' workout would be pretty cool. stay safe Greg, all the best from the UK.
I'm in washington and we're about to have the same order. It's been nice fishing everyday since my work closed down. Crazy times.
While everyone is quarantined, Greg's videos comes in to save the world. appreciate you always bro
Go yourself WEEN!
You're literally the only fishing youtuber that I can stand to watch the entire intro.. great video!
haha thanks man
U should check out thresher fishing for saltwater, Greg and coop are my favorites
Same here. Love the vibe I get when watching your videos.
Here ar the end of the world, I at least have my Greg Blanchard videos.
end of the world, Jesus Christ
@@timf1095 calm down, nancy
Greg, can you do a price breakdown video that covers tournament travel and costs (hidden or obvious) for us? It looks super expensive!
I second this!
I like this idea.
Love that idea, will answer it in maybe the next 2-3 videos!
@@GregBlanchardFishing thanks bae 😘 I'm a man. But l love you.
@@GregBlanchardFishing Thank you, sir!
I’ve been watching you for two years or more now and I’m hooked on your fishing style. And I don’t even fish. Because of you, I’ve bought two Native Watercraft pedal kayaks and do recreational kayaking and photography out of them. My kids love using them because they’re easy to get around in. Keep doing what do, because I watch. And I enjoy your style of fishing and how you detail everything that you do. Who knows, maybe one day, I’ll try my hand at fishing. Stay well.
100% on Mariner sails! I stopped in there while I’m here in Dallas for a school and was really impressed. Dave was great and showed me all over the store. Just wish I could’ve fished fork.
I've been fishing a few seasons and was thinking about getting a boat with my bonus money this year after we get out of the lock down. I'd been vacillating on what to get, your videos of the native watercraft titan helped seal that deal for me, and I was stoked to find the native watercraft titan and then to also see that you went Mariner Sails in Dallas and they hooked you up... Yeah. I'm going there to buy my boat and gear, you should show them and other sponsors this because your content guides people to their products. Thanks for what you do my dude.
Just wanted to say thank you for all your content!! I’ve been watching most of everything you have and it’s good work!! Keep it up!!
That lake is a prize fishery for sure. I was there for the Hobie BOS 2 weeks before this. Fish were just starting to move up back then. We had some cold weather when I was there...mornings in the low 30's, and I thought that those Florida strain were gonna freak out. Come to find out they adjust pretty quick there.
I would love to go back there again. Next time I might just go for fun...no tournament...lol! Fishing for me is different when a tourney is not on the line! Stay safe out there!
Man great timing on video. I fished Lake Fork in 98 while I was down there with Fast Track Driving School. Great lake.
Good Luck in the tournament!!
Thanks Greg, virtual fishing with you while in quarantine.
Good luck tomorrow! Tight lines😎
Good to hear you’re safe bud!
Man it is good the hear from you! I think in depth video's of what you use and how you tie it on etc would be great. Stay safe!
Thank You for sharing your adventures
Seems like you planned very well for lake fork. Hope you slay in the tournament. Stay safe out there.
Keep rocking Greg 👍🏼 You can do this 🤘
good look blachard, i luv me the 6th sense lures, great baits. good luck on ur tourney man hope u catch some biiggins & place good bro!!
Greg you did a fine job picking your spots.
Great video my friend!!!Looks like an amazing place!!👍👍👍
Wahoo!! It’s the time of year for series videos!! Stay safe Greg!
Dang man, we fished that Tuesday and Wednesday that same week....just missed you. We always stay there at the Marina. I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Allen Sweat. Can’t wait for the tournament video!
LMAO 😂😂 all the comments on a pre recorded video. Before the lock down. Calm down people. I actually chop it up with greg from time to time. He's taking things seriously. He's not out fishing right now.
Good job, greg!!!!!
Super cool shop! Need something like that in Northern Indiana..
It's always humid here in Texas and the closer to the Gulf you go the more it's humid. Some folks call it "the air you wear" but it keeps us from freezing to death in winter. We can fish and golf year round.
Good job figuring out that Fork bite!
Now That’s what I call living the dream , stay safe
Glad you found a brush bite. Where I was at on the lake there wasn’t a brush bite. I got 7 bites the whole tournament pulled 6 of them to the boat. Only able to measure 5 as the 6th one wasn’t a cull. I drove down Thursday night and only pre-fished Friday. That species was a Freshwater Drum lol.
As always you've delivered good stuff keep at it
Younder Gang baby!! My guy!
Love fishing the brush, we nearly always used spinner baits and would wake them just below the surface never letting the blades come out of the water. Highly effective and can cover a lot of water for the aggressive ones. Won several tournaments with burning spinners even in the winter especially on rainy days. Your welcome
I absolutely love your videos Greg, and i have improved my casting ability a lot watching your POV Check Cam, but i wish you would give us more information about how to get more involve din these tournaments... Great Videos
Stay healthy! Thanks for sharing.
Heck yeah brother! Hope you lay the smack down during the tournament! I want to see 110 inches or more. I think that will at least get you in the top 5. Good luck, stay safe!
My brother called it. Cool that mariner sails helped ya out.
Awesome video my dude! Always dope when the plan come together 🔨🔨
Man you really put in the work to make your dream come true. Great job! I bet that was an exhausting weekend.
Lake Fork Marina!!! Fished there many times...many 3-8 lbs. in the launch area.
your videos get me pumped for fishing man! keep up the great videos. (But stay safe)
Ayyy, Mariner Sails!! I work about 10 minutes from there. Great shop!
Seriously fishing is the only and best thing you could do in a quarantine.. I’m going this week
The Mariner Sails guys are great to do business with.
Greg, Watch you, & enjoy. Don't Yak fish, but really enjoy your vids. Today is 3/23. I live 115 mi. from Fork. Probably going 3/23,(new moon). Stay safe, hope this crap fus it's course sooin. I'll post back to this vid if I land a PB, lol.
Greg, your the reason I want to kayak fish...can’t wait for the next video
Thats awesome man! go pick up a yak, anyone will probably work first time out. thanks for tuning in
Great video Greg !! While we’re all on lockdown do some rod and reel and tackle trunk videos. I always look forward to your yearly run down of gear you’re using!! Stay healthy dude!!
You are a logistics wizard! Cool video Greg!
Stay save out there! Good luck on tourney..👊
Good luck. GET THAT W!
Doin it up in Texas Delta style loving it stay safe out there in crazy Cali
Been seeing mariner sails on 30miles out with Ty an Theresa for years seem like a great shop an great people
Same! AGreed, great folks and shop
I never knew how much was involved in traveling the tournament circuit, great job 👍
Nice production
lockdown video ideas: how about a tutorial on how you setup your sonar and what you look for? Always interesting comparing notes with other fishermen. No two will ever do it the same way.
Yes. Thanks for going fishing. Smart move on the opposite color on fishing the jig. Here’s hoping you win this thing dude. Bring it back to California. SoSoCal
Nice Greg! I love that kind of lifestyle, traveling to new waters. I do a lot of moving/traveling myself. Except I don't get to do it solely to fish. I'm jealous. Good luck out there!
Awesome video!!
You have been busy. Hopefully will be fun fishing Lake Fork catching some Florida large mouth.
Man I wish I had a kayak shop like that close to me. That place looked awsome. Id be broke when I left.😁
Crazy you caught a drum off that bait
You can launch anywhere out of Stockton still, or even holt, the whiskey slough area. From there you can get to franks track pretty easy for the monsters too. =)
Love the Sierra Nevada shirt!!! Shout out from Santa Rosa Cali
Hey Greg. Living my fishing life thru you man. Wishing you tight lines. My folks and bro with family lives in Dallas. Wish I was there but got a nice gig in rehab here in Long Island
Nice man, hope you are staying safe out there, rehab crew still has to work during this time
Definitely like that native... Good luck brother...
Thats crazy, you and Mark Daniels both gave a shoutout to O while yall were at Lake fork
Been on that lake once or 5,000 times lol. Welcome to Texas Greg!
Everything is bigger in Texas! Everything..... Have fun fishing a world class Lake in texas
Hope you stay Healthy with all this stuff going on. It's weird seeing you in my hometown picking up a kayak haha!
Hey Greg really appreciate your videos.
When will you have the tournament day on lake fork posted? Thanks
I love the 6th sense swim jigs. All 6th sense tackle seems to be excellent
I've really enjoyed it so far. Just made an order for some shad style baits including their big swim bait which I think will do really well!
Lake Fork is definately one of those bucket list lakes, hopefully you had a great time. If you get desperate to fish, Folsom lake is still open. Unfortunately I was there on the 22nd of March and the fishing still sucks. Great video as always, stay safe
Bummer! Fish on beds yet? I would've thought for sure they'd be locked on by now.
@@GregBlanchardFishing I did not see any beds, caught my only fish in 12 feet of water--- water temp was only 54
Last time I stayed in those rooms the ceiling caught on fire. Always good times on Fork.
I was at that airport the same day, dallas if nice compared to cali. Be safe out there with the virus
Can you make a video on how to flip and the setup you use .you make it look so easy
Great video bud good luck
Great videos as always! If you ever need a kayak near Houston, let me know. The Titan 12 propel is all yours and I’ll deliver it to you and pick it up.
Lake Fork Is Texas Best Lake For Crappie & Bass Fishing Hands Down!
Love ur truck! 19.95! 😂🤣😂
Captain your taking on water at the start of the video, lol
Man I wished I knew you was coming to Texas I would have love to meet you. Oh well maybe next time!!!!!
Glad to see you're doing well, hopefully you got yourself some wataburger before you left lol
Good "Run-Up" to the Tournament. (Just stay away from anybody with the "Beer Flu"!)
Hardly wait to see your NEXT Video... Take care, Bro...
Fishing in the rain- orange 1/2 oz. Spinner bait with double Colorado orange and red blades
"Another great video brother tight lines"
My dad lives on lake fork and I got my pb bass there it’s awesome
What would you rather have a flat bottom aluminum boat or kayak
It would have been nice to see you catch a Toyota Share Lunker while you were at Fork. There was a guy in our area catch two a week apart. That's a 13 plus lb. bass. It qualified him for the Share Lunker Program twice.
Hope you did well in. The. Tourney ours so far in PA are cancelled
Thanks Dave, it'll be an interestint tx vid for sure. same, everything out in CA is cancelled at the moment through april
Good morning first off. Spank some bass in Lake Fork
Hey people dont understand patient responsibility vs my life responsibility is beyond me. Again you stated this was before it all broke heavy
Saludos greg yo vivo en Texas y también tengo un kayak Slayer e visto todos tus videos saludos
Welcome to TEXAS!!
Interesting that you were able to catch fish on the white swim jig given the conditions.
Good luck 👍 friend
Hi Greg I saw you fish some Dobyns rods and I was wondering if you would go with a 733 or 734 for throwing trigs 1/8-1/4 and small plastic swimbaits (gambler ez)on 1/8-1/4 jig heads? And would you go Sierra or champion XP. Thanks for any advice and great video as always
Dude ... I will save it for the next one 😁
Haha, good seein' ya out there man
I was on a trip to Pyramid NV on 3/15. It was supposed to a 5 Day trip. Unfortunately it was cut short because of the stay home mandate, the closure of our hotel and eat in restaurants. Can’t wait til all this is over.
Shout out to that dude
Good video man your going to hit 1mill really soon your going to blow up and the hard work is going to pay off.
Thanks Corey! 1 mill would be unreal
Greg Blanchard it’s going to happen really soon your probably next like tacticalbassin
