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.

How awesome is it that every year you basically go back in time two months to the prespawn on a fantastic fishery!

You should do a video on why you decide to move to California

Should’ve stuck around for Hobie event on Cayuga next weekend!

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.

Id love to have just one of these kayaks and hes got I think at least 4 of them now. Maybe 5.

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.

can't beat em. Nice, some great fishing all around us

EVERY single time I go out I end up cutting something on my fingers and not realizing it. EVERY time😂

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.

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

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!!!

@GregBlanchardFishing

Ай бұрын

thank you sir! thats really cool to hear and will continue sharing the trips for as long as I can!

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

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!

Finally.. all day of work and now home to enjoy greg.....

Greg thanks for taking me with you!! Kayak looks great! Good fishing have a blessed day!!

Welcome back home. If I ever get some money to buy a new kayak we gotta hook up for a fishing trip.

Welcome back to NY

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!!!!!

We know the season is officially on when Greg shows up. Cayuga lake magic dock time!!

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!

Super clear!

Nice boat.

THE PHONE!!

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.

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.

Figured you were on the way out here, when I saw your old boat on Facebook Marketplace.
