I Never Used to Fish Like This

One of the great parts about fishing is that there is always something new to learn, especially if you haven't fished very long than it seems easy to find and learn new ways to catch fish.

Tennessee has got to be one of the most beautiful states in the U.S. everywhere you fish is awesome looking!

[@markgray8360]

Check out Justin's with the spot lock! He doesn't always use that one, uses for different circumstances. He also has a peddle kayak that he uses a lot. Kayak Catfish. He's how I found you, when he dumped his!!!😂 He would be a good one to reach out to.

[@crosscountrybankangler]

I like that you don’t fish with electronics. 90% of boat anglers would be totally clueless without them

[@AnAngryAngler]

Thats an awesome day for Cold Weather Fishing.

[@SchneiderC1952]

Great teaching video about catching cold water largemouth! I hope you will put out a video showing cold water techniques and baits for stream smallmouth. I have quit fishing winters here in Ky on my creek since I have gone 0-fer in my last 3 trips in November and December! Keep up the good work on your videos!

[@mkanyuh]

Check out some NRS boundary boots for winter kayak fishing...don't have to risk falling in trying to keep your feet dry getting in an out. some of the put in points are a muddy mess in the winter.

[@keithwilliams4273]

You are still a great fisherman motor or no motor. Don’t forget where you came from fishing on the ditches in Tennessee. “Ditches to Riches” thank you for a great year.🤜🏻💥🤛🏻

[@2007dixiegirl]

I think successful. I think the motor would be helpful specially the Susquehanna tournament you did.

[@mattbailey7049]

Not using electronics is part of the adventure, which is one reason you enjoy the way you fish.

[@Maz08]

John, you always have the best intro guitar music. Makes me wanna go moon shining or something lol.

[@mbnoonan1776]

Check out the Old Town Sportsman 106 MK. I love mine & no motor sticking up in your way.

[@thecreekcrawler]

At 5:11 not only did you break a rod but a fish was busting to the right side about 50 yards downstream.

[@charlesbrowder8416]

That was a good day of winter fishing you caught fish

[@gailreineke7186]

Thanks for the scriptures you post at the endings. That’s my favorite part of your videos. You may never know this side of Heaven how many people you’re reaching for Christ through your craft. I hate you broke your favorite rod, but I know God will bless you with a new one because of your faithfulness. May you have a very Merry Christmas!

[@tomkarau]

5:11 my wife & I never laughed so hard!.. "awwwww!!!".. so funny your reaction, there were tears in our eyes as we laughed our asses off.. sorry, but at the same time, Thanks for giving us such a good laugh!.. bet if you watch it now, all this time later, you'll probably laugh your butt off too.

[@therivergiveth]

Get the torqeedo plus innovative sportsman rock guard. Total game changer. And ignore the "you might as well buy a boat" comments, they don't understand that the best water isn't boat ramp accessible.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i would like to get a boat one day, but i could never give up my kayak

[@therivergiveth]

@CreekFishingAdventures having both is ideal. And the ultimate goal is a jet boat!

[@mattthomen1608]

Love my jon boat.8ft9 .it holds my Flippin stick😅,and any water 6 inches or more I'm in there!I had a ascend 10t,but my buddy would out fish me,cuz I would row,and he had a motor.so I went w the jonboat,it allows me to rest better stand or sit,and plenty of room for tackle,and my dog.Go John! Love your style, of videos,and content 👌. You have helped me a ton. So if I can help shoot me a question, about anything ✌️🤠.

[@FISHERFOLK777]

You like torqeedo more than Newport ?.

[@mattthomen1608]

@_FisherFolk_ I use a minkota 55lb thrust variable w battery life tester button.and I've got a 100 Amp lipo group 31 weighs 26 lbs.love that thing. I added a weedless wedge prop,and a vibration absorbing hub nut,which is awsome. Super smooth,noticeable difference in prop vibration.

[@micahgrim2597]

I broke a st croix casting Rod this year. Never a fun time lol. Thankfully they replaced it for free. I enjoy watching you search out a body of water. I’ve been hung up on electronics.. I think it would take away from the connection I feel as I am out there searching for the next fish. I love the element of surprise and feeling a big bass just smash my lure. I’d rather that be the start to fighting a fish in verses expecting it and just getting mad when I see fish on a fish finder that won’t bite. Just my .02

[@TD402dd]

On cold days I liked a hairy jig with a chartreuse trailer.

[@jackedwards1207]

I have a bixby on my SS107. They really are a game changer man.

[@yupk8303]

anything breaking in fishing is incredibly frustrating and annoying whether a rod, reel, or bait. i cant deny a spark of joy that comes along with it, though. the realization i get to go and get a new rod or bait, and having a legitimate reason/excuse to give the ol lady so she cant be too upset is sublime lol

[@riverpirate1022]

In cold water it's best to fish very slow with very slow finesse baits. Fish will not go far to chase moving bait at all because it expends energy and they are cold.

[@jaq1820]

Been watching for sometime now. Your channel is starting to become my favorite fishing channel. God bless brother.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

I appreciate that!

[@bustinfins]

I’m still trying to get used to winter fishing myself. Never done it until I started KZbin. I always thought that fishing was over when it got cold, lol! Enjoyed the video John, hopefully I can wet a hook and put another video out soon myself. Thanks for sharing brother!

[@cjohnson0420]

I can relate/ I broke the tip off of my ultra light setup a couple days ago. Way to keep your cool- I wasn’t so calm LOL

[@joekeith4917]

Dec is one of my fav months to fish. My PB for most fish in 1 day solo came in Dec. They bite best here in south MS right before a cold front. They’ll still bite spinners and chatters but I have to move em a lot slower than usual. Any day fishin is a good day regardless of the results. God bless.

[@HgcnLe1]

Oh yeah!! You made my day just being able to watch your video!! I really like the kayak idea and live in Gallatin, thanks 👍

[@josephcain8643]

looks like a good day and you caught some fish

[@meleagrisgallapavo]

Good vid! I like a dark blue and black chatter bait in the murky water.🤙 Though that chartreuse is killin them!

[@newjak72]

Broke my favorite rod ad put another tip on work but not as well but did work was pretty happy with results

[@gregstabryla9945]

Looking like Wendell with that beard. Thanks.

[@patrickhartman6818]

Im fixing my pelican up with trolling motor in front and putting in sunk in pole holders.

[@justinperdue3657]

I've got an xi3 with spot lock on my sportsman 120 and its a game changer in the current 100 percent worth it

[@shephusted2714]

get the gps spot lock if you can - if not just get a decent trolling motor - speaking of trolling - you should try trolling cranks right down the middle as an experiment - you can cover a lot of ground and it will help you figure out where the fish are - an of course talk to some of the fish finder manufacturers and try to get a sponsorship

[@mattthomen1608]

Long lining works. I use Carolina rig out back of the boat to clean up.sometimes a underspin,or a chatterbait too...while I'm dialing in the conditions.

[@Average_Joe_Fishing_Show]

Don't you have a Bass Buggy? I use a pond prowler when I want to use an electric motor. Works great for me. I use my kayak for smaller rivers. Those Old Town Motorized kayaks are a fortune. I hear you on the electronics though. I like to find them on my own without electronics too. Seems more of a challenge that way. Sometimes my instincts are right, sometimes not.

[@robmetcalfe8902]

Awesome video go big blue great win

[@timmoore1252]

You need to build your own custom rods! Check out Mudhole in Florida! Build exactly what you want n need!

[@thefisher6273]

try a football jig and might catch bigger ones.

[@mikeriter8729]

Took me a while to come around but the motor is a game changer. Go for it.

[@minidachshundfurrypaws]

You should try the hank parker signature spiner bait, love your video's

[@ivanwesley8182]

Love the intro footage and music 👍

[@RhYn0n]

John’s cinematography and editing skills seem to improve with every video!

[@reedmccool4518]

I recognize that river!!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yes sir

[@bradfrmktown]

You’ll love it I done it and love it.

[@heatherlandskron]

great video and great fishing!! have a good evening and week!! happy holiday to you and your family!

[@TheForemanOutdoors556]

Great video, sorry about the rod . I know that stings. Perseverance leads to success.

[@gmanadventurer8892]

You're getting like me, fishing the same river and same section of river over and over.

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Check out Big Frank's Outdoors in Maryville, Tn. They have a variety of small boats, skiffs, Etc..

[@mulletoutdooradventures6286]

Dude I've been pounding the Schuylkill all month. The smallies have been epic along with the walleye. Had 2 really nice muskies since Thanksgiving. Did the ocean last Sat out of AC and had an 80 plus inch bluefin tuna in the morning then moved inshore and hammered the stripers. We lost count and all were between 20 and 40lbs. There were allot of smoked arms this week 😂

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Sounds great!

[@jaredyork5166]

Dang, bro..sucks you broke ya rod. Always does I guess,especially a favorite. Seems to me,in my area anyway, on my Flint😊, that the shoalies bite better when it's colder..but the bite is slow as slow can be sometimes. Cool video and fish on

[@davidharris4030]

A good flat bottom boat with a good trolling motor can get you in a lot of places. It’s more comfortable and you can carry more rods, tackle,&food. I definitely see were the kayak is still needed but the comfort level in a Jon boat is awfully nice.

[@mariongreen6309]

You can have that broken spinning rod repair you may lose just a little sensitive it’s beat buying a new one

[@trainsinkansas576]

I watched a fisherman in Ireland he used a trolling motor on his kayak or do you want a regular motor.

[@WaynJul]

You pulled a Bill Dance and broke your rod. But you still caught more fish.

[@ericwalters6661]

Have you ever try a snagless sally

[@silksmoothw]

MUCH LOVE

[@analogoutdoors]

Struggling a bit with winter up here in Virginia. Thanks for the video.

[@MARKLOCKWOOD2012]

my experience fishing 🎣 December/late fall you’ll have to have sixty degree days more than one. then comfy chair on the bank boating 🛶 subtract 10 degrees no thanks just excuse to get out if i catch something or nothing enjoy the day.

[@TheLittleStuff]

Sorry you busted a favorite rod. Nice work power fishing in cold water!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Thanks man

[@samuelwarden6285]

Man that really sucks that you broke that nice rod. I'm sure you got your moneys worth out of it though with as many fish as you've caught on it . Great vid as always buddy. 👊👍

[@JimDavis-x3x]

Check John out with the backhand flip cast 😮 wasn't that long ago u hardly used baitcaster

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thats for sure, its amazing how comfortable i am now

[@ericvidacak6145]

Do you know how cold the water was or how deep you were fishing?

[@templeo8328]

At least you didn't tip your kayak and get a hook in your hand. Sounds like a good day to me.

[@JamesSmith-rm6to]

You were fishing to me that’s a successful day great video

[@southwestindianaoutdooradv4714]

I’ve broke a couple rods this year. Definitely frustrating but like you said when you’ve gotten a lot of use out of them you can’t get mad!

[@rocklanderoffroad]

Good Stuff!!!! Maybe I need to get back out....

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

theres still fish to catch

[@mattbailey7049]

Which bait is Jon catching fish on today? All of em!

[@nicklesfamilyadventure]

Lookin good

[@dragchute1]

All fishing aside ..do you choose your own music? There have been many intros that have intrigued me from a purely production vale. If you have a moment.

[@shannonboatright4894]

Sorry about the rod.. at least you didn’t step on it or close it in a tailgate of your truck 🫣

[@ri-jm5tn]

If I didn’t break something or lose something it wouldn’t be fishing😆. I have 2 trolling motors and they can get me to spots that a paddle won’t, but they are also something else that will break, and they are more heavy gear to lug around. I don’t use them as much as I thought I would.

[@davidpyles8270]

I’m sure old towne would throw a motorized kayak at you

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i will be asking them first

[@almcpike6512]

I am in awe of you. I tried to do fishing video myself. It was horrible. I have a sales KZbin channel and it is also horrible. Lol Thanks John. I'm leaving the KZbin fishing shows to the professionals. 😂

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

hey you just got to keep at it

[@jennifersatterfield9277]

Get that motor

[@terryslaton5582]

Still an awesome time! Was wondering if they bit in Winter…obviously they do!

[@mountaintroll7864]

Boats can supper simple too. 16 foot semi v tiller. And a good trolling motor.

[@savvasefsef]

Nice!!! I think enjoy is first priority, definitely sometimes, something might go wrong but that's the beauty of adventure!!!

[@dartmart9263]

A boat? I started watching you because you didn’t fish like all the others. You were wading and occasionally kayaking and still catching fish. That’s what drew me in and kept me.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thanks for watching, im sure ill get a real boat one day, i have 2 small ones and never use them

[@lynnpreuninger5050]

That Berkley worm in black is my go to bait. It will produce for me when all else fails. Love your videos.

[@MaineStreamFishing]

At least you can fish! Lol its over up here

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yeah man thats got to be tough

[@Paul.Casteel]

But its still does mean that you can't caught bass its just very Difficult in the winter even do it isn't Officially winter until like December twenty first .Its still like fishing in tge winter time that water is very cold.

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Great video! You might want to look at a specialty boat like a Gheenoe Lt10. Extremely good shallow water capability, but the utility of a boat.

[@tillion4210]

Dude you might want to contact shimano. They might warranty that rod for ya or give you a percentage off on another rod. I think their customer service is pretty good to deal with.

[@DoubleBogeyBass]

I was going to comment the same thing. I broke 2 Dobyns rods this year and only paid like $60 to have them replaced, better than spending the $150/200 full price.

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Another epic video 📹 Jon!!!! Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

[@michael1529]

Awesome winter fishing. Love your videos. Can’t wait until spring. I want to get out there now

[@bartbuskey238]

Wait, you have a boat you found last year. What did you do with it?

[@darrelscott1262]

I live in Indiana fishing shit down until march

[@mateomorizio2777]

Heck ya brother getting fish left and right it’s nice to see for sure plus I notice the new style drone footage ur doing great man enjoy urself down there and have a very merry Christmas

[@mattthomen1608]

Glad to see you growing your 🎣. Killer idea to try what you have not before. I recently punched out 2 fish in the cold fronts down here in florida.and ive never done that in the winter too... go John!

[@anthonyhipps8500]

You got out on the water and caught some bass. You didn't flip over or fall out. That was a good trip. Thanks for sharing.

[@calebbyler5024]

Call shimano customer service and ask for the express rod service plan. They will send you a replacement of the one you broke at 50% of retail price no questions asked.

[@darrelscott1262]

Merry Christmas John keep the good work up

[@jordanwalter2447]

I liked the concept of pac motor for kayaks bc i could put it on different kayaks , but i think there is a wait list

[@Jake-ky9ed]

Electronics in those creeks doesn’t make much sense? Fishing a big river, lake yeah but small water?? think a motor be a plus in those rivers having to go against that current, but any waters you get more range. Cheers man cool fishing

[@SleeperBBQ]

Yes finally. lol a motor

[@bartfoster1311]

I was thinking some of the exact same things this last weekend fishing the river! I was hoping for a couple big fish but did get one 20 incher. I also paddled my butt off! It took me 2 hours to paddle less than 4 miles back up against the current and I was really wishing I had a trolling motor or a pedal drive! The river was moving pretty good and really challenging to fish in the rain.

[@lawrencemcdermott3004]

John, if you ever want a Chauffeur to go to the location you were at and don't mind teaching someone. I have a gheenoe with a 20 hp, trolling motor and oars with a 4.5 inch draft. I live about 5 miles from you. You got me started fishing so I would love to learn more.

[@stevieg1108]

Well said John, love your videos and the passion you have for the sport and the adventure. Keep it up!!

[@christiankell6074]

John, I feel your pain with breaking your favorite rod. I did the same thing recently and I am heart broken. I would say the day was successful, and productive if you do end up getting a motor for your kayac. That could be a game changer for your tournament fishing. God Bless and GO KATS!!!!!!!

[@scottfrey2710]

That stretch of river is exactly what made me rig a trolling motor on my kayak when I was down there, John! And it took me pretty far up the river above that ramp you were at, drift fishing all the way back! If you want pics of the very simple mount I came up with, just contact me and I'll send them to you. The whole thing fits into the existing rod holders, so there no major modifications needed, and it removes easily in a few minutes! Definitely a nice option to have when fishing certain waters.... :-)

[@raygissendanner1476]

Great video and some nice fish beautiful place hope you have a great holiday

[@jamesmcdermott6934]

Hey don't b afraid to rip a lipless through there Brother because it's a total myth that they're slow in Winter n won't hit em rippin!!!
