EASY Going Creek Fishing - HOW I FISH Nikko HELLGRAMMITE

NEW CFA STORE creekfishingadventures.store/ Once again I am out exploring and driving around Tennessee looking for a place to stop and fish. This place was in north middle TN and was a beautiful location to do some wading. I started out with a swimbait then switched to a Nikko Hellgrammite to fish some of the deeper runs and decided to show how I use it and where I catch fish with it. Clear water helps out catching more fish with this lure. I usually use them on a medium or medium light setup with 10 to 15 lb braid and 8-10 lb mono or flouro leader.

I AM SOOOO HAPPY TO FIND YOUR CHANNEL!!!! I've been following you for several months and watched almost all you videos. You are a very good fisherman. and love what you are doing. I'm 62 and have bank fished all my life, but I have learned so much from you. Keep up the great work!!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Thank you so much!!

[@loganmichael4275]

Your not 62

[@kevinjtoner]

You’re fortunate to live near clean, rocky bottom rivers and creeks (despite your 3hour drive 😄). Where I live everything is mud!!! Love your videos.......thank you 👍🎣

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

Awesome tips on fishing the Hellgrammite. I bought a pack this year to try just because of your vids.

[@BigBRebooted]

That's the same here. I always used live hellgramites but I tried the Nikko hellgramites and wow! I love them!

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

Scooter McScoots they work fine. I don’t find that they get any more bites then the Z-Man TRD. I will stick with those as they are easier to get. Walmart and Dicks sell them.

[@BigBRebooted]

@Scooter McScoots the bigger bass sure do. I've caught more larger smallmouth bass this year using Nikko hellgramites than I have the last 5 years together using live hellgramites.

You NEVER fail to be entertaining and so much fun to see where you are fishing next!

You are actually the first to inform me of these, awesome bait, caught me my biggest smallie last week, 4.5 lbs, first time using them

Man, you wore them out! I love it when the water is clear and the weather is perfect to walk a creek. I usually take 2 rods, one with a hellgrammite and one with a small square bill. Epic video, John! Very well done.

Great content hellgrammite is a great lure all different species which you have demonstrated real well this is one of your best videos very clear very precise camera work great thanks again John you do an outstanding job. I do wish we had that clear water in Indiana reminds me of Missouri trout fishing Bennett springs.

[@eli8699]

Good video I got some Nikko hellgrammites because of you and the smallmouth love them

[@apocalyptico5092]

Great Video. I agree with your technique. I try to make soft baits and creature crankbaits look alive but helpless.

[@desertbrewcrew1974]

Beautiful day John. Im going to order some hellgrammites this week end. Ive been lucky with the crickhopper that you fished, its caught crappie, bass, even trout. Try an olive green woolly bugger on a bare 4 lb test with a bobber about 4ft from it. Works well in moderate to slow moving streams.

[@MarkMeadows90]

Man, creek water is some of the best. Nice and crystal clear. Some of the underwater release videos I could see other fish in the distance.

I want to thank you for inspiring me to try river fishing. I live an area without much access so my brother and I drove a bit to get to the Vermilion river west of Cleveland, Ohio. Had a great day of catching rock bass and some smaller smallies. Great day!

Glad to hear it!

We’re blessed to have so many of these small creeks and rivers in east and middle TN. Most have great fishing in them!

[@stevebrown6414]

I'm looking for legal access/parking place on Tumbling Creek in Humphreys Co. TN. Every thing is fenced off, posted, and private property. Where are the access points? The land owners don't control the creek do they?

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yes on most creeks it is private property, sometimes ther is access places where people dont mind, there is a creek that is amazing in middle tn but out of the 5 bridges on it i can only access 1 small piece, its aggravating because i know it has really good bass in it

[@daltonstanthegameplayer1207]

That water is awesome

You need to come troll down the Cahaba River in Alabama. Great place to Bass Fish in a boat of any size. And the fish love Helgramites.

He makes it look so easy...

[@mikerhodes2528]

A lot of people like to fish right below the riffle which can be great but the tail end of the pool right above the riffle especially if there is good depth and good size rocks has produced some really nice bass for me.

If I traveled 3 hrs in any one direction I would be 1 to 2 states away. I appreciate your dedication to what you are doing. Your channel has grown in 4 months by 50% and I am sure it will continue to grow at a similar rate.

I'm definitely getting a bunch of them, there are some real nice creeks in Polk county here in Florida and I've tried everything from live bait to artificial , and watched fish just swim away from my bait so I'm going to give the helgramite a chance

not sure how it will work down there but they worked goo for me when i went to the everglades

[@davidmealing9529]

U got some good looking creek to fish in

Man, that water was so clear it looked like those fish were floating in the air when you were reeling them in. If you’d like to hire me as a creek/river scout for upcoming episodes I “might” be able to clear my schedule for a couple of....years. 😆. Great video Brother, REALLY enjoyed it.

that place looke very fishable - try throwing a plastic craw too - hope you can do some late summer floats on some big clear water - you have not gotten spooled yet - try some big live bait also - it usually works even for the big fish, think about doing a carp/big catfish show - chum a bunch - overall just keep exploring but have high expectations i.e. do some research but also do some random google map exploring
