- Tournament weekend for Yak-a-Bass stop #5 Lake McClure. It’s been a very dry season out here in California and Water reports from July 2019 to now show about 120 foot drop in water levels and about an 80 foot drop from just July last year. In this video we get there Friday to prefish and scout the lake and then head into tournament day on Saturday.

Nothing better than a GB vid before work to start the day off right😎
Cheers!
Nothing better than watching a GB video at work. Lol
Gravity bong?
@@Frewsfishn yup that’s exactly what I meant…
ua-cam.com/video/TtBSbPNTdp4/v-deo.html
Man..I hate those dog days but you persevered! That finesse rig saved your day!
it gives me great joy to see someone enjoy fishing as much as I always did.
Great grind Greg. I always try and mimic you and your techniques. Really appreciate your teachings and explanation of how the fish react during certain times and conditions.
You inspire me every video to toss the pole every chance I get in my spare time. Thank you.
Come on everyone, let’s help Greg get to a 100k in August and share his videos with your friends and family. Tell them to support a great guy doing great things! Anyone up for the challenge??
the support already is much appreciated🙏
@@GregBlanchardFishing 👊🏼
Watching in Tokyo, Japan. Just subscribed.
Amazing you're able to win tournaments while filming for your UA-cam channel. Shit I'd struggle just to do one or the other. Keep it up GB! Can't wait for the next vid.
Congrats Greg!! Well deserved. Like I always say, you teach us more than you know. Especially, 1st season anglers, like myself. Whether it be with my new kayak setup, baits, rigging, etc. Great job, and awsome vid..🙏🎣🤟
Great job buddy!!!! Way to change with the conditions of the lake! Congrats and God Bless!!!👍😊🙏🙏🙏🙏
Good job GB!! We are always rooting for you.
It's not how you start, it's how you finish! Never give up! Good job, Greg! Enjoyed the vlog! Hope we get some rain, soon!
Another GREAT video Greg! Thanks for the good content! Last, THAT MERCH THOUGH!!! Your sweater at the end is dope I'm going to buy 1!!!
Well done Greg. Thanks for the video. Makes my Friday at work barely tolerable!!!
Sweet finish Greg!!! Way to pull it out especially with “Old Faithful “.
I remember boating on this lake with an old friend almost 20 years ago. Imagine what California lakes will look like 20 years from now.
puddles
gotta irrigate all the yuppie wine vineyards.
You can see the drought from space even...
its not spontaneous they drain it
Great camp info! Love the videos as always!
Great job Greg. I loved the Eagle sounding off at the beginning of the vid.
Love the kayak tournaments always so entertaining!
First time viewing, I'm subbed. Kayaking in SWFL. Sweet Dinner. Wow, quick limit. Now it's all about the upgrades. WooHoo. Nice job and good working finding the fish.
I’m not even into fishing but some how like watching these videos !
Congratulations! Sad about the worse than usual drought in CA. Some of our family best memories are camping and boating at McClure!
I like to sleep in my van but have avoided summer nights lately... I am still going to have to make one or two of those magnet screens!!! Thanks for the idea!
Nice job especially under those conditions! 👍🎣
Love to see you do a video for people who are looking to get into tournament fishing.
Best part was watching you make campfire dinner!! Then the battery pack was cool. And the DIY screens were smart.
This is actually amazing dude I won a tournament there the day after, cool vid!
The legend, another great vid, congrats on the finish and being in da money 💵!!! Keep grindin Greg #youndergang
solid finish!! great video Greg 👊🏼
Good times, sad how low our lakes have gotten. Props on the truck camping ingenuity!
Greg this is some nice camera work. This my first time seeing this video. Good luck. So fair its better than clear lake 2022. Like no dead fish smell.
Greg straight up fishing in the desert.
That was like Mad Max
ua-cam.com/video/TtBSbPNTdp4/v-deo.html
The more well edited food segments, the tougher the fishing
😂
Showed up in my recommended this morning am really glad I watched got yourself a new sub ^_^ great content man!
Good show man, kept me interested. Happy to watch more.
I agree. I liked it
Thanks for posting
Loved the “does every boater have the same playlist” comment. Lol. I heard Skynyrd like 20 times fishing this last weekend.
Awesome video great job on the tournament as always awesome content..
Well done G. Well done.
It’s a great feeling limiting out early.. congrats on the 6th place finish
A spray water bottle to spray your blanket or sheet down put your fan motor blowing on you, very comforting and refreshing.
Haha "does every boater have the same playlist?" No doubt! Great fishing Greg! Considering the conditions. You are in tune
nickle back is lake music huh
@@MaYbYl8eR Nickle back is popular cause Canada was too nice to tell them they suck.
Mcclure is my home lake. I say you did darn good. Crazy thing about this lake is you never deviate from what is working mid day. Maybe sunrise or sunset but after 8 or till 6pm you find out what they're hitting and you keep at it. Dinks is the norm for lake mcclure with some outliers of course.
Greg is getting ready for football season with the Fox Sunday Football theme ringtone at 6:25 😂
Well done, sir. I said to myself before the tourney started that the guys in the money would need one or two good largies to round out their sack. Nice to see you back near the top of the standings.
Greg, to me is a Humble, experienced, genuine, top 10 kayak angler, in the world. I believe that. I'm in my 1st season, 1st and last kayak, and no need to upgrade. Hoodoo sports lime truse, impulse 120, Fin drive, with the Torqueedo 1103. Been on the bank all my life, except for the 4ft raft we all had with the oars, 1 Rod, tackle box, and live night crawlers lol..My dad bought me that setup, and couldn't get me off the water. Now fishing 3000 acre lakes, is much harder. But Greg's vids always teach, as he fishes. 🎣🙏🤟
Sucks the water levels are low, but there's nothing better than being on that water when the sun rises. Beautiful!
It’s cool seeing the water lines like looking at a topographic map but also very sad sight at the same time
Killer setup man good luck 👍🏻
Good Stuff, Congrats on 6th place. Good Video. Really enjoyed it, thanks
Nice work Greg!!
Nice vid bro you dedication is admirable
You should put solar on your roof top and charge your “generator” during the day.
Your rig is awesome, BTW. Have not done any kayak fishing, but that rig is dope!
The spots on that lake fight super hard. I dropshot on a 733 with a small baitcaster braid to 6-8 leader carbon and it handles them a bit easier (if you wanna try.) Good Video supreme editing can't wait to see how you upgrade little by little your camping and cooking gear. Thanks again
Morning vibe!!!
great job greg. gotta give it up to my hmong brothers too. you guys did awesome
Phenomenal video!
"Does every boater have the same play list" hahaha
Dude..i loved your determination and patience..your really a great angler and was so happy u got that largemouth to pump u up the in the score board.. your experience on kayak fishing is awesome..i hope i can get the chance to fish at least one tournament in my life..i live in Mauritius from the indian ocean and do a lot of bass fishing from the bank..and trying to creat a bass fishing competition here to induct my people into bass fishing and catch n release over here..hope one day if u are travelling over here or in Africa let me know would be great to go out fishing with you..
THE BEST BUD LOVE THE VIDS LOVE THE GRIND TY
Lake McClure bass love the Neko rig senko man. Always do good with it there and won a tournament last year with it
Nice job!
thank you Greg!
I couldn't imagine fishing a lake that low. That is wild...
Man I pray the water levels come back I literally almost stroked out when I saw oroville my gosh and now I bet so many others as well crazy weather
That's a dope solo shirt man, nice threads
Is it me or am I the only one that think the food looks perfect🤤
Sometimes watching these after tourney videos can be painful… 🤨lol
Great job Greg!
That opening off-road Greg scene was intense!!
Dropped like Crazy Greg good luck
I guess it’s low enough to retrieve a lost bait now. Hopefully no one else has taken it🤞🤞🤞, swimbaits don’t come cheap.
😆...I know the feeling! I make note at Bull Shoals when I loose swimbaits, and pray I'm the first one back when water drops. Though it's been high water at Bull Shoals for years now!
@@Tbowie13 yup, it really hurts the soul. I could probably go get the bait, but I have 2 more now so I don’t really see a reason. Someone will get a nice surprise.
@@morganyoder4277 Yeah brother, I always keep backups of my I-slides and Vatalians and so on, but it still stings a bit to loose a 262. Hell, I've got roughly 80, Vision 110's, but it still stings to loose even one of those...lol. But I'm with ya, after all the effort time and money, when I get on a good bit, the last thing I want is to loose the bait that's key to that bite and not have at least one extra, to keep it going!
@@Tbowie13 I lost a deps 250. Hurts a ton, but whatever it’s the price you pay.
@@morganyoder4277 Yeah that stings!
Like the bug screen idea.
Looks like it will be dry by next year! Hopefully the rain comes soon
GB is one of the best fisherman on UA-cam
Great job bud!
Thanks for posting payout
Nice catching man, tough bit for sure.
I just got back from Shasta lake, its 148 feet down... hope we get a wet winter. Cool vid by the way.
That was a nice size Bass
That shirt is 🔥 Greg !
enjoy the channel, good luck!
Glad I found your channel, love the vid new sub boss!
good one dude
Man you grind for those fish keep it up man peace ..
Welcome to my backyard where it is hard to find the big one but u will always get a bag of 14...good job bro
Chartreuse and White ALWAYS works in CALI. HAHAHA When you said, "Who are we?"... MY FRIST THOUGHT WAS YOU'RE ONE OF THE LINDEL BROTHERS............HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Hey Mr.Blanchard about a year ago I posted a comment about how to convince my dad to let me get a kayak and good news I finally got one, thank you.
I would take photos of all the structure above water around the lake for when its back to normal. Definitely will help find bass later on
Great effort! One hundred bucks, 100 times better than nothing
Id gladly pass all this rain we have been getting in south louisiana to you guys
I like the window screens. Wish Ford had not gone with the aluminum body, but it does have some amazing advantages...except magnets are ineffective.
I don't even live out that way an that hurts to see that lake just evaporate like that I always said there has to be like a runoff of some sort draining these lakes little by little but. I guess if its so hot out there and it doesn't rain for a long time I could def see that happening really hope u guys get some rain and great video tho always look forward to ur vids.
Morning coffee viewing! Congrats on making the top 10! I kept yelling at the fish to stay on - wishing you the best on Clear Lake 😊 (I don't understand the thumbs down posted - don't follow the videos then SHEESH!!!)
Haha Thanks Liz! Hopefully there's still some water left when we get to CL!
You make some good vids! Just subbed
Aww yeah get that 🧅 on that hotdog 🤩😂
Always root for you Greg unless fam is involved 🤣 Jherv! #3
Congratulations on placing in the tournament... But the water levels..SAD .. REALLY SAD.. The Frye Guy..
Nice job man. Fishing was crazy tough out there
Hope to see your video of this.
Thanks man and congrats on 2nd! Gotta get out there together sometime!
@@GregBlanchardFishing Thanks! most definitely, maybe sometime in august since we only have one event going on.
Gained a new sub for fishing in that California tough waters.
I hope you get some rain out there really soon!
Hey Greg, I’m looking at the Slayer Max 12.5 and the Titan 12 and was wondering if you think there is a noticeable difference between their speed and maneuvering. I know you did a video with the 10.5’s but wanted your input with the new slayer
Thank California for that one
