Searching for the Creek GREEN Fish (Not Bass)

[@Itchin2Fish]

I had some good fortune from one video. Same thing happened, he put up some signs. I was sad in the video, but understanding to the owner cuz bank fisherman use to trash up the place before the signs and fence. I basically vented about others trashing it up. Somehow he watched my video and appreciated what I said. Then he allowed me to continue to fish. Score!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thats cool

[@jeremycaraway6432]

Green sunfish are my favorite by far to catch.. next to crappie.

[@Itchin2Fish]

@@jeremycaraway6432 they taste surprisingly good too.

[@The_Next_Cast]

Great creek fishing experience John! Several memorable moments throughout this one! Thanks for sharing!

[@GrumpyGillsFishing]

Dude that’s awesome! I love those little fish too. Out of the small fish I like the warmouth a little more, but green sunfish are so fun to catch.

[@starkeyshelbyj]

Totally into your enthusiasm for the sunfish, particularly the green sunfish,John 🙏🏼❣️God bless you young man🤷🏻‍♀️🙏🏼

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Good looking spot for crappie nibbles!!!! Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee

[@brodiedavisalmostprimitive1262]

Yeah man! Enjoyed. Looking forward to more spring catch

[@Astigos]

The end of this video is the most real fishing experience ever. Ultra relateable. Such is life!

[@MarkMeadows90]

Love catching those green sunfish. Aggressive little fish. I throw out a chunk of red worms on a hook and you can see them coming out hiding from a rock in a creek and swipe at the worms.

[@glennmcleod4751]

Beautiful Green Sunfish John...

[@texascreekcowboy1587]

always looking forward to the videos. I appreciate how you go for multi species too. Tight lines amigo.

Love the channel. Been watching for a few years now. I am a native Tennessean myself. It is great to see people like you and Alex Rudd out there fishing "somewhat" local waters.

[@TheOutdoorsVlog]

Another great one man! This kind of creek fishing is what I can relate with the most since it’s what I tend to have time for after work most often. Thanks for sharing!🎣

[@brianathern9154]

Great video brother. Winter seems like it's gone in IL so bring on the fishing. Our ponds just started getting active, creeks aren't ready yet due to heavy rains. Keep getting out there. Thanks for taking us along John. Blessings

[@ericpettyfishing]

Literally just got my helgramite from Rebel! I got the other color, but boy did it work last weekend! Rebel rules!

[@hannahalger4951]

Green sunfish are alot of fun to catch! Such pretty colors.

[@Economics-rn3ef]

I learned about fishing road-side creeks watching Creek Fishing Adventures. I recently caught a 3lb largemouths off a bridge over a small creek I never would have thought about fishing. The creek was very shallow, but had some deep holes. That was where I caught her. Thanks!!!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

now thats cool

[@randyblevins9489]

Glad to see that the weather is nice again. Super to see that the creeks are starting to be active. I love creek fishing,just trying to see what you might get bit by. Thanks for taking us along with you. Will you be doing the Sevierville smallmouth tournament this year ? Always be safe and watch out for snakes. Randy B.

im glad it is spring where i can do this again

[@benrolison]

Great video, you definitely taught me a new way of fishing jigs

[@josephwatts8147]

I was needing a new hat as my favorite was blown away. Picked one of your up. Hopefully it brings some luck

[@jkeithfowler]

I caught a really colorful red breast yesterday while fishing a spillway that flows right out of a private pond in to a creek then under the road so you can fish both sides as cars go by. It's not the safest I guess but you never know what your going to catch which makes it interesting and I caught a new species the other day wasn't even sure what it was but after researching it ended up being a creek chub. As it started getting dark I noticed something swimming around not sure but I hope it's a a fish and not a dang beaver. I haven't ever caught a carp so I'm hoping that is what it is but even a catfish would be fine definitely don't want to hook a beaver. I enjoy your videos Thanks and I'm looking forward to the next

[@redeyetrucker520]

You should try fishing those creeks with a fly rod, you catch way more fish!

[@williamandrews4251]

The stripe on that large mouth was so pronounced it was cool.

[@barefishin]

Been watching for years and it still fascinates me how there are largemouth in these tiny creeks. Haha stay away from that goose😂

[@darinhill9760]

I have 3 small crappie one 3 inch channel cat and 2 green sunfish in my aquarium. Very much entertained especially when a big nigjtcrawler is dtopped in lol they drag it all over

[@RobertxJenks]

Some of my favorite creeks now have no parking signs for a half mile on both sides of the bridges, creek fishing is more exciting sometimes

[@raymundopelayo1]

Inspired me to get in google maps and travel to every creek I come across

[@Ron-vq3zl]

Fine video, John! I recall a few other videos where you fished at that same creek & culvert. You always seem to make some pretty interesting catches there! I do hope that land owner had a REAL GOOD REASON for putting up those no trespassing signs, & didn't just do it because they've become fickle headed and/or arrogant! I say that because back in WV. (where I called home, from 1986 to 2013), there was part of a rural country road that was closed off in about 1992, because of a really old, medium sized, metal framed bridge, which was deteriorating, & hasn't been replaced yet, the last I heard! Anyway, in about 2010 or so, I decided to park my car near that ol' bridge, & try to do some fishing near it, & before I could even get down to the water, this guy appeared out of nowhere, telling me that it was private property, & that I couldn't fish there, and after a short, calm, yet rather weird conversation with this dude, I politely got into my car and left, and went and fished in a usual spot, a good ways downstream. About a week later, I decided to go a round-about route and come down to that bridge from the other direction, & try to fish near the opposite end. Well, UNBELIEVEABLY, before I could even get to the water once again, here come this same dude, telling me the as before, that I COULD NOT FISH THERE!! I quickly left, & went home, and called the DNR, who told me that this dude could not legally keep me from fishing RIGHT AT that bridge! I recall asking them if they could send me a letter stating that, so that I could show it to this guy, should I try to fish there again. If memory serves correct, I believe they ask me which house (near that bridge), that this guy came from, & I told them! If I recall correctly, they told me that they couldn't send me the letter I had asked about, but that they would send someone to talk to the guy, & that if he gave THEM any guff, they would take some sort of action against him. I dunno if they ever sent anyone to talk to the guy or not, 'cause a short time later, my car was stolen, and was found to have been sold to a salvage yard & SUPPOSEDLY, immediately crushed!!! Anyway, I didn't have a car again for a while so that I co& en I eventually picked up & moved to the west coast for several years. Anyway, it's just a dang shame that there ARE some people out there that WILL post signs, for no good reason at all, & as I said before, I sure hope that's not what's happened in your case! God Bless & Highest Regards Always! Ron Abilene, TX.

[@Ron-vq3zl]

P.S. Guess I should add that while the guy in my story DID have a "No Parking sign or two in front of his house, (which btw; was about 2 lots away from the bridge), there weren't any "No Trespassing" signs posted AT or NEAR the spots adjacent to the bridge where I wanted to fish! Also, I'm sure by now that some of you must be wondering the same thing I did on the 2nd day that this guy "shewed me away," which was/is this: "Fella, do you sit at your window, or on your porch or something all day long, just to specifically watch for people who want to fish near that bridge???!!" GOOD GRIEF!!! R.

[@tomritter493]

Great trip out gills aren't quite ruñning trout are in now

That would have been the best aquarium bass! That little guy was cool as hell. Sure you can go back and get one

You know John, we buried my brother today, thanks for your prayers but our Lard and Savior wanted him to come home, I was feeling sad but your video made me feel better just watching you fish because I love watching you fish.💞 You makes me laugh 😊

sorry to hear that, im praying for you and family

[@user-mj6lap17]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@charlesbrowder8416]

Good video man the river is on 🔥 today after work I run down to the bridge caught 2 good ones seen more the buffalo are starting to come up

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Nice 👍, i saw the buffalo last week but fished over an hour and didnt get any fish, i will try to kayak next week

[@charlesbrowder8416]

That was my third trip finally got me a couple quality spots

[@kaboom4679]

Try a Rebel Crayfish . The Hellgrammite and Crickhopper are good baits , but the Crayfish is an absolute killer . I always have about a dozen in various sizes and patterns .

[@martyadams3915]

We are all looking for that next piece of water to explore and the one thing we can always predict is change. I grew up lucky. I had a half a mile of creek a bit larger than what you were fishing but by no means a river. We caught red eye bass all manners of sunfish, chubbs and occasionally rainbow brook and brown trout. Later on I turnned it into a trophy trout stream with fish up to 9 lbs caught. Then suddenly a lot of change happened upstream on government property and it was no longer a viable trout stream. Now it's a creek again like it was when I was a kid. We still have the rental cabins from the trophy trout days but now it more family oriented and I see kids doing what I did as a kid. If you are looking for new water to catch those creek fish in let me know. I believe the effort you make to entertain should be rewarded by those of us that watch your work so my stretch of creek and a couple nights in a cabin is always open to you if your interested.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

its always changing, thats right

[@victoralbert1451]

I’ve been going on my own creek fishing adventures. You’ve really inspired me to be constantly exploring and wanting to find new spots.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Great video John, it's always good to get out on a beautiful day & get your line wet & you got some great sun fish, I was wondering why you never drop shot or you've never shown it!

just never try i guess

[@calebprice304]

Love your creek fishing videos. I’ve got quite a bit of stuff that you recommend as far as bait go. What is your go to early spring lure to use for small mouth rock bass. Really any creek fish that will bite.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

hellgrammite or craw

@@CreekFishingAdventures what colors and size. I have the kit you have with the trout magnet craw kit. And the trout magnet big and small Hellgramite Would that work if not then what

[@steveboggs9777]

Good day of fishing. The warmer weather sure makes a big difference. I see that a lot. Owners let you fish the creeks on their land with no problem. Then, a bunch of people come out and trash the place. The owner is only protecting his property which I can't fault him for that. It just stinks that a few disrespectful people ruin it for the rest of us.

[@omaraparicio884]

What line do you recommend for creek fishing ? Mono , braid ?

[@TheOutdoorsVlog]

I know you are asking John but, I typically use mono because of the rocks. Mono will stretch and last longer against abrasive rock than braid.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

4 lb mono is great all around for light action

[@omaraparicio884]

@@CreekFishingAdventures Do certain brands of mono have an advantage over others, or are they all relatively similar in quality?

[@omaraparicio884]

@@TheOutdoorsVlog Are you also using mono for bass fishing? With so many fishing lines available, it's overwhelming to choose from. Although I'm interested in trying braid, it seems like a hassle to tie a mono or fluorocarbon leader.

[@TheOutdoorsVlog]

@@omaraparicio884 For bass fishing I use a variety, although, I do use mono more often than not because I fish with light tackle and soft plastics most. It depends greatly on the area I'm fishing and what type of lure I'm using. if I am fishing with a crank bait or hard jerk bait, for instance, I typically use flourocarbon. If I am fishing with a football jig, I am likely to be using Finns braided line. I hope that helps.
