Micro Fishing Tiny Spillways & Ponds Multi-Species Challenge (Landing Big Bass with Miniature Gear!)

[@LarryMeltonJr]

What do y’all think about this video? More micro fishing?

[@gmot]

Yes fs

[@reeljourney]

It's cool. If you come back to FL, I have some small ponds near Tampa that have trophies. One of them on that little crappie rod would be insane. I personally wouldn't do it lol

[@setthehookquay9906]

Yeah

[@kadams3298]

You need a net Larry for the e-bike so you can just scoop them up 😂🔥🔥💪🏽👍🏽

[@benballow8272]

Yes! Get a BFS combo and don't look back. I know creek fishing favors spinning gear, but a bfs setup is a blast! I've had several 20+ fish days on little tiny Texas rigs

[@OzarkBassinTV]

Love me some micro fishing! ❤hell yeah dude!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Man that was great. I couldn’t turn away from all the action

[@LarryMeltonJr]

Thanks bro! Same to your post today! It was good to see the bike!

[@davidclark8113]

I love rooster tails I keep one with me every time I got fishing. I have caught every from creek clubs to 5 lb bass.

[@christianw7747]

Ultralight/micro setups are the move. Every fish feels bigger and stronger. Great for small creeks and ponds. Love using this setup on my kayak! Keep up the awesome content brother 🤟🏼

[@st93er]

wow bro BANGER video more ultra light stuff please

[@jaylancole7406]

I wish more people did micro fishing videos

[@Jeffery-bj9ju]

Same

[@traviswilborn7272]

Try using a trout magnet. It's a great starter lures for blue gills 👍🏿

[@halflife352011]

Larry discovering the fun of ultralight fishing is awesome! Its a nice change taking the ultralight out and leaving the bass gear at home. I use a st croix 5' 6" ultralight medium action with a Piscifun Carbon X Spinning 1000 series with 4lb fluoro

[@will9130]

Let’s go a 43 minute video I love long videos like this

[@boharrison2393]

Ultralight fishing is really fun. I often would rather wade down a creek than get on my boat and go down the river. It brings out the kid in you.

[@RABassin]

been loving these missions lately! Another banger!!

[@davidwilliams1805]

Nice job Larry! Enjoyed the video and appreciate you sharing your journey buddy. #LarryMelton,Jr. rocks!

[@randyhopkins8417]

Great video definitely need more micro fishing content I definitely like micro fishing when bass are being finicky or cold weather panfish seem to bite almost year round here in Texas.

[@LarryMeltonJr]

More is coming! Good info!

[@deucemoose7852]

Great video! If you're wanting to learn a bit more about panfish(ing) I highly recommend KN Fishing Smarts. The guy who runs the channel is a biologist and he has guides on both identification and technique that are both good for someone just coming to fishing and have a lot of depth and info for someone like you who knows fishing, but just maybe hasn't made a point of learning about these specific fish. Most of my fishing is for panfish in creeks in the midwest, but his videos and website taught me a ton! He's got a specific and in depth guide on what size hooks to use for each species and a seperate guide on what lures work best for catching em and they come in both video and text form for whatever you're more comfortable with. So glad I found your channel, been fun to watch your content. Keep up the great work!

[@NASPELTZ]

What a banger, great videos every week consistently, if your not subscribed to my man Larry your doing something wrong 🔥

[@kingdeladan4347]

Great video, fish on!

[@B-Rad_P-Ark]

I love that usual dinks feel like tanks on ultralight gear! Get some of the tiny chatterbait from Walmart with a 3" curly tail grub...

[@DrDitchpickle]

Micro fishing is so much fun! Another great video man!

[@FanOfLiberty1776]

Good fishing!! 👍

[@maryannegreenslade78]

I really enjoyed this, the fish were on fire🐟🎣🐟🎣

[@joshwagner8468]

Let's go. Awesome video bro

[@timbenefield5197]

I’m hooked on creek fishing now thanks to you and creek fishing adventures. I too live in Alabama and love the tiny creek in front of my house at the walking trail…

[@LarryMeltonJr]

Our creeks here are definitely overlooked by most!

[@bigmoemedina313]

When using a grub with a wiggly tail like that try to tie your jig using a "Loop Knot" it will swim so much better and more natural. Great video as usual!! Feel very Happy for you!! simply awesome video!!

[@bjcox6695]

Awesome video, Larry! The creeks are finally filling up around me, and I've been itching to catch up on my ultralight/creek fishing 💪🎣 In the future, you won't find anything longer than 5'6" there but Walmart usually keeps a solid 5'6 Lews UL ($35-37), and there's also a 5' shakespeare UL ($19) that have both been great to me 🤙 The Lews is a one-piece, but it has a bit more backbone than the Shakespeare!

[@lunkingfishingyt]

love your vids

[@LarryMeltonJr]

Thanks man!

[@LaMarrBrewster]

I appreciate your enthusiasm. Fun video

[@ricg2011]

Try some Rooster Tails on that ultralight next time. Cool vid.

[@RomanMoroniesFargingWall]

The YT channel Fish Anything has a ton of review vids on ultralight rods and reels for all kinds of budgets. I think he has collabed with Creek Fishing Adventures, too.

[@ricg2011]

The biggest fish I have caught have been on light/ ultralight tackle...good video.

[@1ofakindfishing]

Micro fishing is more fun than regular fishing but I love fishing for all types of fishing new sub bro 🤙🏼💯

[@OzarkBassinTV]

Hey Larry! Also if you want the sunfish species besides bass gill and crappie hit the creeks! so much more fun! skinny shallow waters and hits every cast! loved the vid! i need to micro fish my local ponds lol

[@SeekKnowledgeOFC]

I don’t know how you manage to keep uploading absolute 🔥🔥🔥 but you do, keep up the great work man! Always makes my day better!

[@BlkAndyTV]

I started micro fishing last year here in PA on the off seasons and the multi species that happens during micro fishing is the most exciting keep it up larry

[@LarryMeltonJr]

More to come for sure. Thanks for your support!

[@dennistidwell7188]

For a weather app I type in my town and I get live radar and hour by hour temps and rain chances. Hope that helps, Larry. Loving the creek vids....

[@joelfrederick859]

Yooo love micro fishing. Leland Lures makes a great jig head for getting into small spaces. Combined with the Berkeley Gulp Alive Minnows 1” and Worms it’s almost unfair.

[@IssacMayberry-ch5ve]

Bro as a fisherman myself your videos are helping me be a better fisherman so thanks alot

[@LarryMeltonJr]

Glad to help!

[@hooksethijinx4769]

Yo zuri makes awesome jerkbaits for this type of fishing. Explore the UL fishing world. It's exciting.

[@rubenkayaks2469]

Get you the Tfo ul rod with a daiwa fuego best combo 💪🏼

[@knhoriuchi]

Great video! Just remember that you don’t have treble hooks to keep them pegged. I’d love to catch some bass on my ultralight setup 😊

[@AnAngryAngler]

Marks has the owner block heads that John uses. These creeks will be 🔥 once the rain stops.

[@LarryMeltonJr]

Yessir i’ll check them out!

[@josephkee1298]

Love your videos.

[@devondadude420]

Great new content sir

[@LarryMeltonJr]

Thank you!

[@thetroutslayer]

Great video man, I am used to using ultralight gear and possibly the best ultralight lure is the Trout Magnet, I have caught everything on them!!! I have also landed trout up to 7 lbs on my ultralight gear!

[@brandoncoble1610]

Them yellow bass pro glass rods are fire for crappie

[@LarryMeltonJr]

I’ll check them out on my next trip

[@stuartday3232]

Loved this! Pretty much how I fish here in the UK. Small lures and weight and fish for bites. Quite often you get a surprise fish that you just wouldn't expect and that's half the fun. Box of chocolates fishing at its best 👌 👍

[@JaxsonMcBride13]

Your videos are awesome!

[@LarryMeltonJr]

Thankya!

[@cameronfogarty3312]

Mule fishing Co. Makes some of the best baits for panfish. I recommend the Donkey tail jr and 1/64 oz Jughead. Suspended under a bobber or vertical jigging works

[@kongmengvang4127]

Try using a zman mini flash back it’s Chatterbait made for micro fishing

[@kylefetes454]

I also just started micro/ultralight fishing I’d recommend going braid to leader so your floro or mono won’t give you headaches later with memory problems

[@tiyokalisat]

Mantap kawan👍

[@hectorramos2490]

Man Larry you read my mind ive been thinking about getting into micro fishing a lot lately and I think this video solidified it.

[@bstanfishing]

Awesome!!!!

[@LarryMeltonJr]

Glad to help!

[@timothyholt57]

Dude, I love it. Got me wanting to get out and do some micro fishing myself.

[@michaelhendrick3245]

[@ronwallace7563]

My step dad used to say...."It's not the size of the worm that matters, it's the angle of the dangle that makes a difference".

[@13outdoors47]

I actually bought a Zebco Crappie Fighter spinner combo…about $25. I’ve had it a few years and have actually traded out the reel. But for a 2 piece rod ; it’s amazing. I’ve caught 3+ lb bass out of the creeks here ( S Illinois) and it has held up amazingly. Like that you are doing the ultralight thing 👍🏽. You will genuinely start to like it more than all other forms of fishing 🎣… John is the reason that I got into micro fishing

[@BigBassAssassin]

Try out the zman micro series (shad fry, micro trd helgramite) uses their mushroom jig head. Also been having alot of luck with the googan squad micro clutch

[@BigBassAssassin]

Also Ollie's has Vicious brand braided line in 10lb 20lb 30lb and 50lb and a bunch of floro/mono from 6lb and up

[@michaelscantlin5060]

Man at walmart here idk if it is where your located they have a lews two peice for like 30 bucks it’s awesome for ultra lighting

[@alexlivan5563]

The pond I fish in has monster bluegills cat fish large mouth bass huge crappies

[@ImUrMISERY]

You should try Chace Lake two. Its a old golf course that was flooded and now its two huge ponds

[@AnAngryAngler]

Any Fish in it? Drive by there everyday.

[@LarryMeltonJr]

I’ll have to check it out!

[@AnAngryAngler]

Hit it Late Thursday, landed a 1 lB Bass on a rooster tail. Those fish are hungry. Way to many turtles but the Cahaba access has potential.

[@ImUrMISERY]

@@AnAngryAngler They got some bigger than that in there especially in the back pond

[@ImUrMISERY]

@@LarryMeltonJr definitely worth a video plus there is a gap in the woods around one of the ponds it takes u straight down to the river so after u get done fishing the two ponds u can put your kayak in.

[@xxPigpen]

"NOAA weather unofficial" is the best weather app I've found

[@CountryKirby.]

I get tired of watching people only catching and releasing Bass. I’m glad your trying to switch it up.

[@urbanfishn339]

What was the rod and reel you bought at Bass pro for micro fishing.

[@urbanfishn339]

I really like your videos😂

[@TylerDoesStuffnThings]

Just started doing this for myself a bit caught a bunch of little panfish and bass around my local pond with a tiny little pre rigged purple worm which actually broke eventually and then I took the rig apart and used one of the hooks on it to make a micro wacky rig and that continued to catch tons of little bass

[@redeyetrucker520]

I use 4lb crappie max high viz green and catch several different species from bluegill, crappie, bass, catfish and walleye. It's crazy strong line! Also when using light baits on 4lb line you'll get further casts.

[@charlesgeorge4391]

Get you some small crankbaits and try them their fun

[@LarryMeltonJr]

Yessir!

[@jonathanzambrano6349]

I'm not a Sixgill guy but if you want a super dope ultralight check out their Aether. 7 foot one piece sensitive enough to feel a fish fart!

[@gmot]

Use spider wire fishing line way better on ultralight

[@JQ3434]

Great video .. but that lakers prediction didn’t age well lol

[@joyjoywin]

Daiwa revolver is a great micro fishing rod and reel combo

[@tylerwatson3651]

Let's see some tiny creeks

[@BreamBassBeyond]

I'm having a blast micro and creek fishing myself right now. I'm in the midst of filming a series trying to catch each of the red eye bass species here in Alabama, it's become a bit of an obsession 😂

[@LarryMeltonJr]

Send it!

[@BACKWOODZ187]

So the jigheads are this years choice of bait

[@dakotanelson1257]

Shakespeare ultra lite rod from Walmart. Lews lazer spin spinning reel 200 series with 4 or 6lb Pline fluorocarbon leader on 10lb Suffix performance braid. All under $100 for the set up. Jigs 1/64-3/16oz and any baits from 1” to 3”.

[@MG3Angling]

go with a bfs reel and ultralight casting rod.

[@Spongtheifbob]

That bass eyeball 👁️ was infected

I figured something had to be up w/ it!

@@LarryMeltonJr bacteria!!

[@SGT_Reid]

So after you have bought and collected all your regular bass equipment and baits, you move onto BFS-which is just miniature versions of everything you just bought and collected😂

[@LarryMeltonJr]

Man I got lucky yesterday tackle warehouse website was down I was ready to spend some money 😂

[@rubenkayaks2469]

16:16 there’s a big carp or koi you can see his swimming under his hand
