Creek Fishing with Ultralight Tackle for White Bass

Today we are going bank fishing in a small creek where some white bass are running to spawn in the shallow waters. I'm riding in on a bike with my micro series ultra light tackle to get this little rod bent!

Love this kind of video. Chill, out in nature, and out of a boat!

[@TheZeppelin14]

I agree, I get tired of seeing bass fishing.

[@Bman1113]

@@TheZeppelin14 it's just when it's bass fishing all the time. The bite tends to slow down and while I can respect people still continuing to try for the fish, it's not the most entertaining.

[@Ashtonb7]

yea

[@barrysarver3873]

This reminds me of my youth, fishing of the banks and cataching whatever was in the water. Congrats on a million.

[@beatbox64661986]

I like this just to go to the river and fish get away from the boat and going to just the basics so much fun awesome video LFG keep up the hard work and have a wonderful day

[@tharemyhopkins5873]

Really fun change of pace. Thanks! Hope the knee feels better quickly.

[@yoshithao9245]

Love using roostertails for whitebass. Especially when the whitebass are 10 inches plus. Smacks the roostertail so hard that they almost be taking the rod outta your hand. Low water levels when waters arent too warm and too cold, walleyes love em too.

[@rgdayo]

This was totally different. Loved it!

[@kennethlocke4213]

White bass are notorious for grabbing the lure right at the point of picking it up out of the water. They'll hammer it the second it touches the water on the cast too. Best lures I've used Rooster tail,little George,& esp TITANIUM inline spinner bait. You'll get the longest casts and presentation with Little George but down side is it dives deep treble hook hang ups.

[@johndrx165]

That is plain fun! Twisty Magoo! Classic LFG!

Gold AND Green! Googans, take all my monies!!! ❤🔥🎣

[@Johnnycavalry]

We've been killin the white bass for the past few weeks in Central TX. The weather and water temps have been higher than up in NTX. When those WB are stacked up in the creeks, lightweight finesse jigs, underspins, and in-line spinners are my go-to baits. White/chart 2"grub on a pink head 1/8oz or 1/16oz underspin jighead is my favorite. Hard to go wrong with any small marabou type baits either.

[@DamnChinn]

I miss doing white bass fishing in the Midwest . And the rooster tails always comes in clutch . Lol

[@PizzaShrimp]

ultra light in the winter video owuld be lit! watching to kill the itch to fish during the storm! tight lines

[@pringals]

Love small stream fishing with ultra light gear. I think one of the first videos of yours I found and started subscribing was way back in the day of you and OSG walking and fishing a creek. Forget about the full length rods and even the two piece rods and get a couple telescoping rods. The telescoping rods are perfect for small fun fishing and pack great in a backpack. Get ya some! Maybe even break out a line of telescope rods yourself built to a quality you'd be happy with. I always have one in my trunk, in my hiking bag, have several I keep with my throw and go kayak gear, and I even keep one in my golf bag. So handy. I've landed a 7 and a 9lb channel cat on them while fishing for bass, so they'll be good enough for occasional use.

[@TBassFactory]

It’s nice to see you still out there fishing Justin. You tube hasn’t put one of your videos or any large fishing you tuber on my feed in months. Good video bud

[@zacbell1559]

Love the creek fishing content. Need to creek fish with a camp and cook video.

[@danenovak3312]

Love to see white bass fishing man👍

[@EoffZooStaff]

That was a fun adventure!!! My first thought was danger noodles. enjoyed watching the creek fishing. did not enjoy your tumble. Hope you are ok. Thank you for sharing with all of us!!!

[@rowdybroomstick6394]

Going back in the crispy collector is definitely a good idea! You'd be able to fill the stringer/livewell! We don't even have a length minimum around. If it makes a sammich we cut the side's off. Really if think about it the 3/4 pound to 1 pound male white's are about the best eating. Very little red in the fillets, sometimes none at all. If keep some of the bigger white's, you can fill a bowl with fillets and about a cup of yellow mustard and let them sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes then batter them up in your favorite seasoning and fry! Really good,and doesn't taste like mustard at all. Best way to eat white bass that I've tried yet!

[@cpt_kirk]

Fun one. Get them shoes a little muddy. Water is so low, the rivers around Austin have been slow on the white bass movement

[@harleyshaneepperson871]

Love the white bass content

[@outbackwithtrevor9156]

Morel mushrooms should be popping!!! Fish and shrooms! Yummy yummy

[@joshwagner8468]

Let's go. Love your channel lfg. Go catch em 👊😁

[@seanbeck9991]

if you forget to run the line through the bail, remove the drum, open the bail, reinstall drum and its all good

[@JTVoutdoors]

@LFG I just want you to know how much I appreciate your videos and you as a person. I know that you get thousands of comments like this all the time.

[@brandonwalmsley1863]

LFG. I feel you with the knee thing. I hyperextended mine playing vintage baseball a few years ago, so if I’m out of the water trying to maintain balance my knee pops as well. Once I hit 30 my joints went downhill! 😂

[@chase5.56]

Love the video Bub

[@Hey_Euphoric]

17:20 I never use a spinner without a swivel and at least 1 foot of leader. I have a light rod dedicated to spinner lures and I never have to deal with my line twisting and knotting. You can get micro ones perfect for that rod, or do what I do and remove the clip from a snap swivel and use that. I noticed it helps the lure rotate and you can keep it anywhere you want in the water column and work it slower with better action

[@WhereMyTeeth]

Who doesn't love a tattooing of your bait! I love your sayings!

[@Lethal1160]

I'm sorry to hear about your knee buddy, but I'm glad to see you hitting small waters on the bank! Nice change of pace. I have my 2 piece UL under my backseat all the time. It's perfect for the gills

[@aisanangler5075]

We fish with like 5 ft 6 $15 cabelas rods when we go out like this in Kansas. Lots of trees to work around and if they break, they break and it’s no big deal.

[@brandonflanagan5353]

I caught a 6.2 (my pb) large mouth on that mini recon a couple of years ago!

[@clintonbruning]

LFG help googan develop a BFS rod and reel combo. I don’t know if you’ve tried it but it makes fishing trips like this one even more fun 🤙🏽. I’d try one out! I’ve caught a bunch of fish in the 5-8 lb range of bass on my channel on my ultralight dobyns casting rods and it is a hell of a fight.

[@royleeborn6445]

Get well soon 🤘

[@careynotman2225]

LFG, if you put a small swivel on the line to attach to that Panther Martin that will stop your line twist. PM are the main choise for stream fishing for me up here in Wyoming. No swivel=line twist.

[@GrumpyGillsFishing]

I think that's the same lure i was using today. the bill on mine seems shorter, but i was tearing up some trout and green sunfish.

[@yaobfishin9408]

Get them crispy boys again but do a catch and cook out there next time. Great vid, nice change of pace.

[@bryanmccloskey2722]

That panther Martin is always the first thing I tie on. Can go from bluegill to pike and everything in between

[@r.j.macready5620]

Thanks. What size and color combo on the Panther Martin. TiA. Noob

[@jdbeernfishing2916]

You always keep a garbage bag & bungee cord in your bag on your bike. That way you can always transport fish back. 🍺🎣

Good catfish bait

[@matthewmyers4903]

Road runners and curly tails are good

[@parrothead5977]

You should suggest a creek rod ultra light 4-41/2 to 5’ 🤙🔥🔥

[@GasdUpFishing]

Question: What are the reel specs you look for when pairing with an ultra light rod, like the one in this video?

[@JohnSattoCH]

Love it!! 👊👍

[@gardyoutdoors467]

White hair jigs 1/8 oz are the best

[@mai45774]

Come fish MN this year.

[@MrM00b-kw3xi]

What reel did you use for your yampa river? i like the cork on it a lot

[@tatertots-n-soup]

When crappie are finicky you might try bouncy your bait of the shore then fall(plob) into the water. Like tall weed wall or rock wall maybe trees or weeds with a root stru ture hanging into the water. Mr twisters minnows and sometimes crawlers

[@tatertots-n-soup]

Mini crank baits can work great but trebels are normally a problem on the shoreline

[@1albertoknot1]

L F G Your the B E S T

[@ksaggie1359]

Hey Justin, what knot you tying on those lil baits?

[@jacobbogard6376]

The Googan should come out with the own electric bike with a fishing holder and tackle box

[@timc8913]

Enjoy these type videos way more than traditional fishing videos by anglers who use boats & equipment that cost as much as my house.😀

[@PaulJFleischer]

Nice!

[@Bowmen522]

Hey, a trick my dad taught me for rooster tails is using 2 swivels it works like a dream thought I could share his knowledge here

[@r.j.macready5620]

How far apart from the rooster tail and distance between swivels? Thanks for the tip.

[@corytenhundfeld1553]

Danger noodles 😂😂

[@johnharvey4757]

Great video. Get Mulletman to take you to the coast.

[@MyGeniusLeads]

Do you ever do guide fishing? If so, how much?

[@keithkillion4245]

Check out and see if EBike is strong enough to pull a yak in the country around your place? Make it easier in the creeks to get them crispies. As always, great vid lfg,see ya next time

[@janiraisanen7532]

Go and get that knee checked out, thats how my arthritis started. Nice to see some bank fishing again

[@schust3r212]

Cast 4 got me

[@thanglee1954]

What was the weather like that day. Cold?

[@BadKarma.-]

Where can I find the Ultra light rod? Can only seem to find the 7ft light action rods on the website

[@beatbox64661986]

One thing iv learned when using treble hooks always have plyers at the ready

[@tleb8111]

Danger noodles. 🐍 😆

[@joshparker7125]

I like the 5 cast rule. Use that myself. Usually ends up more like 10 cast.

[@evanjordan5948]

Danger noodles also known as nope ropes😂😂

[@gregunderwood5566]

Dang you should've done a fish fry on the bank

[@millytopshotta]

You hit the Arnold Swartz voice 😂

[@brandonparker2964]

LFG is the best

[@HOLDFASTBEAR]

I catch more crappie on mini cranks than when I actually target them with crappie jigs, I once had a crappie annihilate my mini banger just as I was lifting it out of the water to make the next cast, smashed the rattle and startled me 😅

[@SonOfVulkan]

I've always wondered but I've never seen, is pike species ever caught in texas?

[@wesshannah-hs3cm]

Funny this video came put today I went out and white and hybrid bass fished today.. in the Chattahoochee.. it was sunny out do they didn't really bite till 90 minutes before dark

[@trentfindley7212]

Rackl3y don't hate but my pb crappie broken twice in a came from a dd22. 2.9, 3 cast later 3.4. Back in 06

[@unariusmiller1783]

I would love to see you try bfs fishing

[@todddickinson3262]

Absolutely changed my life! I can’t believe how much fun I’ve had with my BFS setups. It has made fishing as fun as when I was a kid, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves fishing.

[@PaulJFleischer]

Using a spinner with no swivel. Ha! You're lucky homes.

[@heinrichshultz]

You'll be back tomorrow catching those golden crispies.😂😂😂

[@jdbeernfishing2916]

Is the white bass in Texas the same as striper bass in California? 👍🏾🍺🎣

[@GodWillzIt]

Good video. I prefer the 6’6” light fast MHX for river fishing. All the fun of an ultra light, but way more useful. I do build some custom rods..if you’re interested hmu
