I love doing this. Fish the evening bite camp out and get up early and fish the next morning. Only need a few supplies and I sleep in the back of my grand Cherokee. With the seats down it fits a full sized air mattress.

I think the camping idea is awesome - you can get the evening bite and the morning bite - plus you can sleep in a bit - you need to do that at Berryessa - those trees in the morning are calling you - or Trinity Lake for some giant smallmouths🎣👍👊

You should definitely do this again! It's the best of both worlds, you get to fish a late afternoon bite before dark and then you get to fish the early morning bite...You couldn't ask for much better! Truck camping isn't too bad for just one night, so I say it's definitely worth it! I wish I had a bench seat in my truck to lay on, or maybe a camper shell....

I'm actually a little shocked you've never done this type of trip! This is the routine for my family and I on a weekend getaway. Get to the campground late afternoon and set up camp, I go fish while the wife and kids hang out, I come back and make dinner, we sleep, I get up and fish the morning, I com back and make everyone breakfast, then we leave! I like that I get to see if the morning or evening bite is better at a body of water.

Gotta give you a big thanks Greg! Got my first limit of the year and finished 6/39 at tournament this weekend. Been a very tough year for me this year. Trying to hold out from getting livescope and just learn the fish and I have to say watching you has been the biggest help outside time on water! Just seeing how you fish catching or not is so helpful. Watching you do it and get AOY without scope make is all that much better.

Greg, I love all of your videos❣️💯👍🏼They bring me back to when my 9 kids were younger and we’d camp out at Lake McClure. I have so many fond memories of teaching them how to fish the ponds for blue gills and release them back into the water ❤ As a child, my parents always took us to Lake Mohave and Havasu before they became “party lakes”😢which is when we went to NorCal where things were still “family friendly”. I was definitely a “River rat” kid back in the day;where campsites were not filled with raging parties, etc. I love the reservoirs in central Cali. Your videos bring me back to those special memories. My kids are all grown up now, so you help bring them back to life❣️sorry for carrying on about the nostalgia of it all 😬But your videos help me to bask in on those “Glory days” . Cherish every moment, Greg❣️Thanks so much for your quality videos AND the music 🎶 you choose❣️So much of your music choices remind me of George Benson. Yea, we were those obnoxious folk with speakers 🔊 on our wake towers. So sorry about that 😂

Launch @3-5 pm and fish until 11-12, sleep for a few hours and get up at 4 when it’s still dark and start rippin lips again. The frog bite at dusk is epic. Can’t forgot to stop for a burger and cocktails at Richmond Park either.

More bite windows, and an opportunity to do some night fishing for some XL fish trout pattern glide baits or 8 to 10 inch purple worms, 6 to 8 inch spoons. big offerings at night pay dividends. Yup spending the night is more relaxing the drive home safer, you've rested up some.
