Wading for SUPER CLEAR Creek Fishing

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

That is my absolute, number one favorite topwater.

[@jasonlovell651]

I can't get enough of theses creek fishing videos considering that's my all time favorite type of fishing to do ahead of catfishing

[@stevenwillard8436]

That title sequence is the best! Looks like a lot of fun.

[@timlacy2284]

John , Great Video and Outstanding Creek Fishing. Wow creek fishing at it's best. It's better to fish those creek during the week than on weekends, I did notice lots of four wheeler tracks. That's kinda creek I dream about. God has Blessed You. Tim L.

[@glenndaugherity6187]

The Spook is awesome for smallmouth especially when there’s no floating grass ! Great video 👍👍👍👍

[@wbranches1]

I love your musical intro and all your musical underwater videos.❤

[@supremecanine6848]

Heck of a good video! Mixing in the music with the underwater scenes make it awesome!

[@RL_RaZorr]

Wow crazy creek and amazing fishing that day and is that off the 41a bridge I saw you and couldn’t get the time to say hey but I hope you had a blast and hope 1 day I can see you that’s been my dream

[@robertsonfamilyfun9873]

Those long ears are so beautiful. Nice job on those underwater shots of them.

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Unbelievable looking creek Jon!!!! Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee

[@terryhaller3718]

I use a black Zara spook in Clear water and I catch a lot of Bass.

[@terryhaller3718]

I have been trying to text the number given and can't get through, any help would be great..

[@christopherwood2290]

I caught 6 bass on a jerkbait after work Friday of Memorial day weekend. The bass inhaled the bait. I think it was pre spawn males. Had a heck of a time getting them unhooked. Didn't have pliers on me. I may try either filing down the barbs on the treble hooks or just crimping them.

[@johnbubbajohnson5630]

I enjoy watching all your video John. And all those were all real nice creek bass. Thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family.....🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊😀🙂

[@randyblevins9489]

Nice smallie day ! The hellgrammite gets it done again !!! Be safe. Randy B.

[@metrolinksouth6813]

One of the best fishing channels on youtube!!

[@bennydoane5581]

For as much tire traffic I see in the river bed that was a good day

[@dougalexander7204]

Beautiful water and scenery. Thank you for the adventure. It’s always a good video when you’re in your zone.

[@meleagrisgallapavo]

I love the way you mix the music and various shots in with the fishing…very entertaining!🤙👍

[@LostintheOutdoors]

Man that is some crazy clear water! Good lookin stuff!! Enjoyed watching as usual

[@papilloncycles3463]

John, was fishing on my birthday, two days ago, and heard a similar bird call that you heard at the end of your video. Did get a PB 15" Crappie out of a lilly pad bed in 10" of water on a 32nd ounce tube. Good day!

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

That water is beautiful

[@meleagrisgallapavo]

Gotta love walk-in the dog!

[@ehouse430]

that's a Zara puppy, walking the dog is what the side to side action is called. I always let it sit a few seconds before retrieving. Also another good creek top water is a tiny torpedo or a small pop-r

[@johnrudy9404]

Also John, appreciate your introduction of an underwater aesthetic in filming. The part with the over hang and under bank cut out reminds me of some of my favorite trout paintings.

[@howardharstine2804]

Top water is fun when they are hitting! Thanks for sharing John!

[@jerryplesko9521]

🐠 I 🙏 didn't 🙏 know 👍 Tennessee 🐠 had 🙏 so 🙏 many 👍 streams.Nice 🐠 fish 🐠 🙏🙏👍

[@fishingtherapy4565]

That fish intro has a back!!!

[@steveramey4229]

Great day on the creek, thanks John!

[@christiankell6074]

I cant believe how clear that creek was..WOW Another good video John with some great footage of the chipmunks having fun of course you catching some more great smallies and large mouth. I must acknowledge the Rock Bass but I am a bit sad there was not the token RED BREAST..LOL God Bless and Go KATS!!!!!!!!!!!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yeah no redbreast in this area of tennessee

[@leemowers9395]

Very nice bass walk in the stream. Thanks John for sharing.

[@eqot8480]

Loved the underwater footage of the spawning longear sunfish. Another great video, John.

[@johnsmoothsenko8674]

I've had people ask how I could enjoy fishing so much, even though I'm not always catching anything. The answer is much easier to explain with your videos, the scenery is amazing! I enjoy being outside missing bites, more than I do staying inside doing anything. Besides, it's called FISHING... not catching.

[@ronaldshank7589]

Look at you, booooooyyy! 118,000+ Subscribers! You're doin' great! Gotcha some good Smallies today, man. Looks like you had a great time. It's so all-fired hot up here in Virginia, that I'm only going wherever I need to go, when necessary. Probably about 90° outside, even now! We just had a huge Thunderstorm just miss us here in Staunton, Virginia, here about 2-3 hours ago. Man, yesterday was a great day to be out and about. Never got much above 70-73 degrees yesterday. Now-Hot. As in "I don't think Tarzan and Jane could stand this kind of hot! Anyway-You have a great evening, and God bless you and yours!

[@SXSVideos]

Good video! I used to do a lot of creek wading. Perfect for this time of the year! We actually used to catch a lot of smallmouth on shiners and a stick bobber.

[@mikeboyce584]

Great underwater footage

[@JD-HALL]

Many thanks John.

[@mikec9606]

Beautiful area and river. Those kind of creeks you never want to stop exploring!!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

You got that right!

[@bradalderman]

Thanks for the explanation on hellgrammite rigging! Good to know the Z-man jig heads work well with Nikko baits.

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

Yeah that donkey would've scared me too! 😂 That was very unexpected! 🤣

[@christopherwood2290]

Classic Intro will never get old.

[@Kansas_Murph]

A spook is one of my favorite lures. Works good in the evening and the morning.

[@prestonrussell605]

Enjoyed the underwater footage!

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Good looking fish 🐟 in that creek 👌

[@waterratlyle2590]

Beautiful creeks and great action in this one. GREAT WORK SIR🤝🏼

[@volslover1504]

Have you ever fished Indian Creek in middle Tennessee Olive Hill area. Big smallmouth bass. I usually start out under the bridge and go left. Some shallow fishing and deep holes. It is full of smallmouth and rock bass.

[@johnrudy9404]

Funny John, camera perspective appearance, you seem a mile away from the h2o. Also, theres been a move toward single hooks on plugs. The spook is a salt water staple. Guys report NO fewer hook ups with singles. Plus, crimping the barb helps.

[@NishCatchEmFish]

Great video! Love the spook, I usually catch more with it than any other top water

[@Shudaba]

Red head/white body spook is the bomb! Slays the smallies and largies

[@LeviW133]

Nice video man love your videos keep up the good work and go catch a big one

[@brianathern9154]

Great video brother. The water is gin clear like my favorite 2 up here in IL . Long casts are a must and the 10# braided line on my topwater. I have a jig rod rigged with 6# copolymer line P Line and backup spool with same braid. I definitely use some twitch or pop and pause. I usually get bit on the pause or the "next" twitch. Your creek wins for aestetics and scenery. Plenty of chipmunks, mammals and some snakes. Love exploring with you

[@markbrooks5278]

Enjoy your videos, i remember suggesting minnows one time and so you bought some and gave it a try ,with no success..well i wasnt talking about bait sbop minnows, get yourself a minnow trap and put a small ammount of dog food in it or maybe some bread and catch you some creek minnows the 2 to three inch ones will be the best, ive seen the smallies tear them up...anyway..keep up with the good work you do, and thankyou so much!😉👍

[@mshinn13]

Great video! Really nice looking creek

[@johnharder5618]

Nice video Right now my creeks and rivers are BROWN and high As we just had 2" or so of rain But I had been getting the Large Mouth , Small Mouth and Rock Bass on 4" Motor Oil rubber worm Or a Rapala , either twitched on the surface or a FAST retrieve Interesting to see different ways to catch the bass

[@LSMTT00]

Those longear sunfish are always super pretty

[@EngineeringHooksets]

That water looks amazing. Nice video man

[@aceboardtheangler5252]

That Zara spook is 🔥 I have been catching fish on those things since we were kids

[@buffoonoutdoors]

I'm surprised there aren't more people out there given how gorgeous the setting is.

[@mikethomas5412]

Beautiful creek. Thanks for the video.

[@careyleavins1087]

Such a beautiful creek!!

[@johntfg2865]

Me: Yay a fishing video! John: What are those chipmunks doing? Also me: There goes that dream. Great vids fellow John keep it up!

[@farmbikemike8923]

Try a Spook Jr in clear. Rough it up a little bit with a Scotch pad. I put a red dot on its “chin”. It’s a killer bait for really clear creeks here in MO.

[@reel2realfishing]

With this heat, wading creeks comes in clutch lol

[@hankcogburn2600]

I started using the hellgrammite this year. I’ve been catching so many more fish on it. Inland lakes in Michigan. The large mouth love it!

[@johnnygross4415]

That the same as a perriwinkle?

[@williambenner5550]

I never used topwater on creek before, I will have to try it now!👍 Good video man!

[@bumfit5491]

Use barbless hooks or file down the barbs on your hooks ! Mr. Bluegill says thanx !

[@PaintedTurtle001]

Super day you had! 👍

[@shannoncoffey9908]

I catch alot of small mouth on 3in pearl flukes in clear water like that in East TN

[@riverfishingwithfrank]

Nice video. Love all your videos man keep it up!

[@TylerKennedyFishing]

Great video! . We tried to get 100 bass this past weekend from that creek. Looks like the same stretch lol

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

theres a bunch in there for sure

[@TylerKennedyFishing]

@@CreekFishingAdventures there sure is!

[@timgillenwater5989]

Nikko hellgrammite does it again can I ask you what size hook you use I know you have probably answered this a hundred or more times I'm talking about the bare hook and thank you for showing the Z-man jig heads so much and thank you for the scripture 🙏🏻

[@shane508]

Rad underwater clips

[@CrazyCWM]

You should try a mini white buzz bait I’ve caught plenty of smallmouth on it and always fun one to use

[@josephwatts8147]

I’ve caught some big smallies on a larger Zara Spook

[@tracyholland5318]

we enjoy watching your videos

[@douglasmedlin7159]

Most people fish the top water kind of fast like you were doing. Sometime slow your retrieve and use more side to side rod action also let it set 5 to 10 seconds before starting to reel it in. Love your show been watching ever since Justin from kayak catfish went with you and he flipped his kayak . Yall 2 along with Aaron are my favorite shows to watch.

[@606OnTheFly]

Zara Super Spook Jr has caught more fish for me than about any topwater. Muskie, smallmouth, large mouth, hybrids. My favorite bait

[@thomaskitlica5572]

I just wish we had smallmouth I live about a hour from the coast in Alabama so I would have to drive at least 5 hours to get any

[@neverone-and-donefishing562]

i was wondering how you even get small fish like shiners and stuff on those big hooks

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

It's cool when they keep knocking it out of the water. 😂

[@FishingWithDamon]

Love this video, I personally won my first tournament not too long ago and very proud! Anyways bro another banger of a video remember the grind never stop💪💪

[@TheRoaddog1970]

great job love your channel

[@timothygreen9884]

Nice pebble beach next to creek! Your camera seems very high definition .

[@TrueNorthOutdoorAdventures]

Another great one John! Do you ever go straight Flurocarbon to avoid messing w/tying a Leader? I've been doing that this year on a couple setups... the Fluro is expensive, but it's sure been convenient & working out well!

[@BlueEyedColonizer]

Thats a good idea. Put the time of day you catch each fish. Id be curious to know

[@vongilhaussen2565]

God bless this man..

[@a.r.t.4611]

Nice river.

[@bryanstaten5585]

That noise near the end was donkeysquatch!

[@roberttrumpower6376]

John, please pray for your viewers. Enjoying. Every video

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

Ouch, glad you weren't hooked bad!!

[@jamesblair2338]

Great and enjoyable video. What is name and color of hellgrammite you are using?

[@JasonRyanWilson]

I wished you'd come up to Kentucky in the Cumberland Gap area. I live 15 miles north from the Cumberland Gap tunnel. I know where some old ponds are where coal mining companies would use 50 years ago for this and that. Now? They're full of largemouth bass.

[@JasonRyanWilson]

I can take you all over Bell County, Kentucky and we won't have any issues with anybody. My good friend is a retired Lt. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife.

[@stillbill1878]

Wanna change the game with Spooks? Find the clear Zara Puppy. Don’t ask why or how it works. Just know that in that clear spring water you fish, the clear Puppy will change everything for you.

[@edwardbtown2766]

The spook is a big fish bait.i use black ones baby spook

[@nitroballistics]

nice video also nice smallmouth

[@bigdm9349]

put a live minnow on. those finiky ones will instinctively hit. I bring a 4ft cast net with me.

[@ethanholsapple1147]

I went creek fishing at a creek by my house and caught 115 on a little whopper plopper and caught a 2 lb 3 ounce smallmouth

[@sc6802]

CFA, what is your optimum rod length for creek wading? thanks.

[@davidnewton3064]

Why do you rig the helgrammite through the side? Seems like there is more hook gap when rigged top to bottom.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i really dont know, i just like the way it fits

[@riverratfishing]

Fabulous video. I tried a new creek, I could see plenty of small mouth but they wouldn't hit anything. Caught plenty of rock bass and red ear. Any advice? The verse was perfect for your video.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

not sure, i just try to fish slower and let them look at it for a while

[@raygissendanner1476]

Jon have you ever tryed a kastking baitcaster reel if so what was your opinion on it

[@tannermccalister9841]

Change those hooks out to single hooks. That’s what I’m doing on all my top water creek baits. It’s so much safer! And more safe for the fish too. I think I’m going to do that on my UL crank baits too, because they are about half dangerous when you land a fish

[@bumfit5491]

Use barbless hooks or file down your barbs on regular hooks . Great video I love creek fishing …

[@Captain_Clark_CDoryAdventures]

Keep the treble hooks and pinch the barbs down with a pair of pliers would be my suggestion. Tight lines ya'll. 😎👍
