Wading small creeks and cooling off. Brings back memories of younger days. Thank you for taking us along and bringing back the memories!!!

[@RiverCertified]

You bet man. It's still fun regardless of how old ya are I promise.

The kayak, bank fishing, e-bike videos are a change of pace. Good stuff. Kind of like your early videos. Thanks for putting the Chanel out there.

It feels like a chore occasionally, but not when I go creek walking.

Absolutely love fishing tiny creeks like that because you just never know what you will get!

What a beautiful creek ,Spencer. Always a blast to explore a place like that.

[@RiverCertified]

Absolutely agreed. Kind of spoiled in a lot of ways.

[@TB-zw7dt]

The displeased bird around 18:55 sounded like a robin. About as dangerous as the N. water snake. This video brings back childhood memories of wading all the local creeks long before having a driver's license. I don't doubt for a minute there is probably a 3#+ fish somewhere in there. Thanks for stirring up the memories. Catching bait and fishing go hand in hand and is half the fun (sometimes).

[@RiverCertified]

Glad you enjoyed all of that. I'm sure I'll be back on it again one if these days. Sure would be fun to find a few dandy sized ones living in there.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

The flatheads in the Great Miami River love or loved those little channels like that, that was back in the late 90’s early 2000’s though, hadn’t done much fishing in there since, what a bummer too, big bummer!

[@RiverCertified]

I heard it wasn't what it used to be (maybe from you). Bummer fir sure, but that's the way fishing goes sometimes unfortunately.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

@@RiverCertified - yeah for sure buddy, for sure! I just watched Dieters episode on paylakes, but I telling him about the Great Miami and how guys are catching the bigger or big flatheads and then selling them to the local paylakes, I believe that’s the main thing that’s happened to the Great Miami. But that’s a long story, for another day maybe, take care my friend, Peace ✌🏻

Looking forward to seeing some overnight kayak adventures.

Great video Spencer. Love that type of bait fishing, perfect to bring my daughter along. Plus you never know what you might catch. Pulled two nice steelhead one year when we were getting chubs for a pike trip the next day.

Ive learned fishing for panfish, if i dont get a bite in 15 seconds or less im not deep enough or in the wrong spot. They like to be close to the bank up under rocks and cover.

My Man!! I did the same thing today. Caught a couple good channels on cut crappies.

Haha I've definitely paid the price a few times. Thanks for watching!

Exploration is the stuff!, never know what you will, find, see or hear...looked to be a fun day on the water. I do that alot in small creeks and streams to catch bait (chubs), tends to save Baitshop costs..lol

I ran out of Fallfish ( skipjack ) however I have some fresh frozen sunfish. I showed a few people my catches including the huge Northern Pike and my personal best Channel. Now they want to go fishing with me lol. I’m a loner but maybe I will take one and see how it goes.

[@edoranplast]

What a man you wading with three poles. Seems unplanned trip. Something we do here is catch our river baits on n a creek using ultralight gear and small pieces of crawlers

[@The_Reel_Angler]

Question? When the water is rising you fish the banks. But if it’s falling the fishing isn’t ideal but where do you fish. Bank or deep holes. Thanks in advance brother

[@jacob2790]

Went to my easy access spot the other night to get a feel for the bite and see if it was worth the work getting out to the good spots. Soon as my bait hit the water I hooked up to a 48 lb flatty and successfully landed him on 20 lb test. Needless to say I didn't bother going anywhere else lol.

[@RUSTY50F1]

I grew up on creeks like this one.

[@RiverCertified]

Sounds like a solid childhood

[@egregiousblunder5395]

"Havent lost my mind yet" The lie detector has determined, That's a lie!". Otherwise, I love fishing for all sorts of baits/dinks in tiny creeks like that. I can burn a whole day doing it easily. I'd walk creek systems like that one as a kid, pack me up a few cold cut sammiches, grab a few little hugs drinks or capri suns, grape big league chew, grab the dog and be gone till dark.

I went out and got some dinner cats today, where I live there’s not many giants they put some 28k channel cats in my lake yearly and black them in a channel for a weekend for kids to learn how to fish you catch channel cats every 5 minutes all day if your trying but there like 5lb and less because of it. Good time on bass rods tho lol

[@sawyermartin4434]

Enjoyed this one man! Quick question. Are you legally able to run a seine net in your state? I have lived in Florida for years, but when I lived in Wisconsin & did a ton of catfishing, I always ran a seine net in smaller creeks to get suckers for bait. Worked amazing!

[@RiverCertified]

Yeah, I just rarely have someone around to help me run one. I know there's ways to do it solo, it's just not as effective

[@sawyermartin4434]

@RiverCertified Yeah running one solo sucks to say the least. I always ran a 12 or 14 footer with a buddy. Suckers were almost guaranteed if we walked the net up to deeper grassy banks.
