Creek Fishing for Smallmouth Bass...

[@richardbauman4731]

Evening John , wanted to drop a comment and let you know as a longtime subscriber. Everything in your videos has come together. The camera work and editing are just top notch . Your knowledge on how to fish is just as good , and your a decent fisherman on top of that , Just kidding on your fishing. Keep it up and your subs are going to skyrocket !

[@Eric-ed8ti]

I never get tired of watching you catch fish. I hope you don’t get tired either.

[@thecanopyclimber]

Can't get enough of your creek wading vids!

[@realisminscale6478]

You know, you figured it out when you went to the Nikko Hellgrammite and you were at the 8:30 mark in the video. That was the stretch where you were fishing the grass stands along the far bank and it was next to the deep channel. You caught more quality fish in that stretch than I saw you catch at any other stretch. The Rock Bass in particular was a very healthy looking fish, along with several Smallies, especially that one you caught later on that was the largest smalley. Great video John. Loved this one.

[@Fishingsippi]

The quality fish that come out of little streams like this never gets old

[@barryloy5772]

You have the best fishing creeks , clear water and just plain fishable. Thanks a million for taking us along on your journey.

[@randyblevins9489]

Yep, John, the water level in all our creeks is low right now. We had rain for several days in a row, so the clarity is down some. i had to chuckle a little at the point when you said" there's a whole herd of smallies going under that tree" ! Gotta love our Appalachian dialect ! Always love the WORD. I have noticed some other channels giving a bible reading of a few verses also. Spreading the beautiful WORD of GOD is a blessing to all. I pray that everyone who hears will be doers also. Please keep up the good work. Pap Blevins

[@barnpostmedia]

We are definitely lacking on rain, but at the moment my area in GA (CSRA) has a full lake, and the Savannah River looks amazing.

[@ryanshaneprod3487]

Could watch you creek fish for small mouth all day man keep the vids coming!!!!!

[@nicholasgonzales1706]

The intro of the fish and the camera is lit

[@aaronbigfishpreston9300]

Sir I absolutely appreciate your videos and encouragement. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with me and the community.

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Beautiful creek and amazing smallmouth bass there Jon!!

[@granvillej3316]

John it’s absolutely amazing seeing the behavior between your tournament fishing then watching you fishing in a creek or river! The mental preparation you need to fish under pressure the time you need to find the fish or dealing with a fish you lost and trying to keep yourself focus to place in a high position! Wow to see so relax commentating your whole experience walking in these creeks and rivers kayaking, in these rivers then participating in a tournament is like you completely put on a different hat. I sure do enjoy both experiences and love to see you being home some hardware especially in the kayak adventure series where your competing with some amazing top anglers! So tight lines sir take care and God bless and can’t wait to see you place 1st place!❤

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i do like doing both, but i cant take too much tournaments in a row

[@ivanwesley8182]

These are my favorite videos, creek fishing for smallies. Plus the Nikki hellgrammite makes it seem like your greatest hits haha. Thanks again John, you’re a blessing to this homebound old man!

[@DecRon]

You are my favorite fishing KZbinr

I have loved that opening for awhile

[@raygissendanner1476]

Thank you john for a the great small creek fishing video

[@maryannegreenslade78]

Another great video John, keep up the good work🐟🎣🐟🎣

[@brianathern9154]

Great video John. I never get tired of wandering creeks for smallies and whatever shows up. The new Rebel soft caterpillar looks pretty good and they made it right. A few creeks we fish produce similar sizes but there are the occasional 18-19 plus inch smallies that turn up for us. Your enthusiasm never wavers brother. Blessings

[@Cortreames1234]

Nice vid love watching them😊

[@ericharrison8950]

Always enjoy your videos! Very humble! God bless!

[@johnnyweaver1300]

That's a jewel of a creek, nice, you had great catches, i like that rebel bait looks like a caterpillar, I'm sure those bass will eat that good!👍🎣

[@39love31]

Love the Vid!!! and Glad to see ya got ya Bible verses back up again...In my 4 years of watching ya. You Only Missed 2 times Of Putting them Up! God Bless and Stay Safe my Brother!

Trophy Size is truly relevant to size of water your fishin. Fun watch

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

[@jeffreyzeitz2711]

Awesome day!

[@何振祥-q4b]

真羨慕你們有這麼棒的釣魚環境，水又清魚又多，真希望我們Taiwan在不久的將來，也能擁有這樣好的釣魚環境。

[@darrelscott1262]

Good job John I like your fish

[@mikeboyce584]

Upstream , downstream and any stream just as long as you can fish. Nice clean smallways, pretty water. It's low up here in indiana too. It's rained a lot but hasn't helped the creeks much. Hope to get out soon.

[@rayhollingsworth2588]

Nice smallmouth 👍

[@OntheRealFishing]

Okay fine! Now I have to get over to crystal clear creek tomorrow to see if I can find any big ones. Awesome trip Sir.

[@OntheRealFishing]

No big ones but, loads of fish.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

haha, getting a bunch is fun

[@jaredyork5166]

Nice video. Great to see you catching even with the heat and low water conditions. Fish on and Go Dawgs.

[@waitaminute7257]

I saw that rod and just had to have one. I ordered the 6.8ft medium extra fast tip. 👍😃

[@Oskarsgaminglife]

Nice first catch love smallmouth bass my pb is a 5 pound smallmouth

[@davidrauschenbach6871]

Thanks for the code for Nikko! Some nice patterns on those smallies!

Great video, Love your channel!

Praise God for the Word of God! Thank you John for another creek fishing video! It always brings back childhood memories.🙏

Love watching your videos, thank you

[@tayloralexis1504]

Casting skills on point buddy

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

Beautiful creek. I went two weeks ago and the water was much lower than usual, but did manage to catch a few. I hope to go again this weekend. Maybe I can get into some pickerel as well as some bass.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Good luck!

[@DanglinWithDiego]

Would either of you two gentlemen like to share the creek info? 🥲

[@SW_OhioFinesseBandit]

I caught me a super nice 17.25” 2lb smallie the other day out of my creek spots. The creek crawler actually just moved really close to me so hopefully you’ll make the trek up here to get on some of these southern Ohio smallies! If you ever come up I’d be happy to share some honey hole spots good for content with you bud.

[@tennesseewebb2651]

Just bought some Nikko hellgramites to try for the first time because of you. And the discount code works! Can’t wait to try em out.

[@heatherlandskron]

great video and great fishing!! enjoy watching your videos!! have a good day and week. thank you for sharing! god bless and stay safe.

[@heatherlandskron]

I shared and tagged you 2 days ago your video on my community tab. Have a good day and weekend

Fishtales is my favorite tackle shop! Another great video. I fish south chick creek a lot and have been wanting to find new water but am afraid to make a drive somewhere and the fishing be bad.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

oh you got to take chances

[@vincent763]

Creek fishing was brutal for me this weekend 😭 tried some new streams going back to my old reliable next weekend

[@johnrigdon7682]

Always a great day when you upload bro! Also that Elizabeth Marie blah blah thread is a scam with a bunch of bots. Seen that same thread on a few videos. Delete it if you can

[@FiremanKevin]

Always jealous how much gravel bottom streams you guys seem to have down south. This particular are of Ohio has some rock but a LOT of silt 😅

[@barnpostmedia]

That creek bottom is beautiful. I need to figure out where that is on my next trip to Nashville.

[@joeblack8345]

Hello John, are going to be at the show in Knoxville in January? Maybe you can come to Greenville south Carolina in February.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i plan to be in knoxville

[@Fish-nd9ie]

Man I wish I had creeks that hold smallies I have to go to lakes to catch them

[@Wilford_j]

Need a new favorite rod since the PA trip. lol 😆

[@charlessessions7293]

Bro. John I figured u might use the Rebul Creek Critter like U used in Virginia 😊 I gunna get me sum of then in orangish color .... God Blees and take care ......

[@TheHemiphil81]

The small mouth bite is pretty good up here on little river in walland and Townsend tn if you know where to go on the old road 😊

[@mattbailey7049]

I’d like to know where! 😊I live in Knoxville and would love to get on some smallies!

[@TheHemiphil81]

@mattbailey7049 drive into walland cross over tge bridge beside rock kings store. The only store in walland and that is the old walland hwy.

[@jdnettles]

@@TheHemiphil81thanks for this tip, going through there today, hope to wade an hour or so! Any more specifics to save me a second?

[@acm_1028]

Have you ever fished Stewart Creek around Volunteer Park? The bass were destroying bait fish today but didn't want any of my lures.

[@smoovefishing]

I have fished down stream a lot and I don’t seem to catch any less if I am going down or up

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thank you, i just mention it because people think it is a big deal, more important is casting where you want

👍 Pretty work, John. Speaking of rods, seems like I remember you fishing an Ark at one time. I'm looking at one. What did you think of yours?

i like mine, the handle seems loose but i think the newer ones are really good

[@silentcustard6612]

Hey man, love the vide, amazing as always! Just a question, though. I fish some ultra clear water, (a river you’ve actually fished in the past before) and I always have difficulty with fish seeing me before I see them, or me spooking fish. What’s the best way to fix this? I cast on places before I walk them but then nothing bites, and two seconds later a 16” smallie shoots out from nowhere! Any advice appreciated. God bless.

[@wciii3591]

Personally, I wear darker colored shirts. I think John wearing a white shirt allows the fish to see him too easily.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

maybe longer casts and walk slow and steady in the areas you think fish are in

[@rexbronzbackhero2373]

Hey John nice setup. I like your reel not sure what the rod was like 6.9. What #testline do you run?

[@John330vids]

What size hooks do you use for situations like this?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

1/0 offset 1/16oz jighead

[@matthewarnold431]

What kind of boots/shoes do you recommend for fishing in creeks besides like sandals or something for warm weather more like when it’s colder

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i use the same water shoes but just wear waders or waterproof socks

[@badbogey7638]

Looks like you wade a lot of creeks around eastern TN. I live on the other side of the blue ridge in NC and just curious if you ever come across any bear? I spooked one the other day fishing/wading and we scared each other equally. We both went running 😅.

[@jefflarson4982]

John how many times have you hooked yourself removing hooks from fish? I do it ALOT

[@W12w222]

Could you mention what river or creek you are fishing in your videos.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

only if they are large major water systems

[@scottfrey2710]

@@CreekFishingAdventures Thats called wisdom, John! :-)

[@ryanshaneprod3487]

Can you leave links for the jig heads you use for the hellgrammite and that other bug bait you used? I see you Texas rig it and rarely see you use EWG hooks

[@Daddy-uf6in]

Great vids. But a little class is needed when placing fish back in their home.

[@veix.0]

What creeks do you fish in around Chattanooga, Tennessee? I've been looking to step up my bass fishing game and have gotten a lot of tips from your videos.

[@tomritter493]

I like the last lure catervrawaler?

What brand 1/16 jig head are you using with that nikko hellgramite?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i was using the bass pro tungsten one

[@LukeAPGibbs]

What creek? I live in Columbia and have been trying to find different spots. Been out every day this past week and have only gotten 3 bites nothing hooked and landed. Any advice on spots or tackle. No boat or yak yet

Is this on the Harpeth?

No. Harpeth is a lot bigger and not very clear.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

oooohh thanks, I've been trying to get access there

[@NeoWickSpeed]

Where the heck you find all these amazing creeks where there is literally nobody there, you can walk it for miles and there isn't any houses or private property to bother you????? I live in georgia and basically everything that looks like this is private

[@MetatronsCube23]

Water ways are not private, even if they go through private land. If you stay in the water they can't stop you from fishing it as long as you entered the water via public land. The only waters that are private are lakes or ponds fully within private land. You can go up or down any creek/river etc.

[@NeoWickSpeed]

@MetatronsCube23 I think in georgia it is navigable waters. Not super shallow creeks that aren't navigable by boat and they are trying to go even further currently with laws on the books

[@mattbailey7049]

@@MetatronsCube23yeah, in Tennessee it’s only navigable waterways
