Winter Creek Bass Fishing...How?

Can you catch creek bass in the winter? Of course you can, but how hard is it. Small creeks in winter through Tennessee can be really hard and then have days where you find them active. Different types of streams are different also.

I love your videos im a young kid who loves fishing and you inspired me to go fishing and go to church and now I’m saved thank you John

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thats really awesome to hear!

[@PopPopTN]

Hey, Karter. That's great! Thanks so much for sharing your story!

[@riverpirate1022]

Fishing is great but please avoid the religious cults unless you like being brain washed and molested. All religions are fake fairytales, and all Abrahamic religions are stolen from older pagan beliefs. Do your own research, it's all there on google and at the library, oldest scam in the history of mankind. Religions were created to enslave and control the stupid masses of humans; most of us are evolved now and don't need these corrupt cults to be good humans. Just be a good person and stay safe!

[@Goatslife657]

Proud of you Karter for your love of our Lord and proud of you John for the man you are

Walking the Creek. Back to the roots. I like it and in winter 🥶 to boot!

[@Justfishcatches]

I love those yum crawbugs. That color combo is irresistible to those young bass

[@riverratfishing]

That's my favorite Yum Craw Bug. Lots of Red eyes, Small Mouth, and Large mouth. Great winter video.

[@realisminscale6478]

Dude...! It's about time!!! LOL....Water cold??? When you coming down to Richmond? We need to tear up some Mexican food.....let'me know. G

[@aceboardtheangler5252]

I’m going to get Mexican food now 😂

[@fishingthelist4017]

That size and color Crawbug is one of my favorite soft plastics. I had better head to Walmart and get some more before everyone else cleans them out like those bubblegum Yum Dingers.

[@johnwhite993]

Another great day fishing. It’s not always about the big ones. Enjoying Gods beautiful creation is always a good day

[@nickvargasfishinfool9612]

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Those Rock Bass were stacked!!! My goodness 😳 😍

[@blaineschlagetter8983]

Hi John, one way you could rig it would be to think of that craw like a tube style soft plastic. Use a tube jig head inside the hollow body of the craw.

[@TrueNorthOutdoorAdventures]

Another great Video as always Brutha! This one should be called 'the Rock Bass SMASH'.

[@randyshaw8613]

Good old rock bass you were slaying them for the time of year

[@media1groupDC]

You've come a long way. Think your were at 27K when I stumbled on to your feed. May the Lord continue to bless you and yours brother!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Yes! Thank you!

[@PopPopTN]

John. Karter Bone's comment is why the Lord has you doing what you do. Keep it up. We don't always see the results of our faithfulness, but He's promised to reward it. Thank you.

[@leafcat07]

I love your videos and the wholesome, compassionate content , and look forward to all your weekly posts. I had to stop watching the video today, I'm sure it's my critical mindstate I fined myself in lately, and positive... I mean I am confident that what I had picked up on is unintentional, and even sometimes difficult to accomplish given the often adverse terrain that we hunt for unpressured fish, which is a passion I know we share. Sorry in advance for being judgemental.

[@howardharstine2804]

That’s Creek Fishing Adventures! And in January yet! Thanks for sharing John.

[@johnmac4769]

I have caught Large Mouth Bass through the ice up north. So they are active year round.

You never disappoint John, enjoyed it🐟🐟🐟

Perfect stream. Thank you for another adventure.

[@brodiedavisalmostprimitive1262]

I picked up some those crayfish yums. Looking forward to using them.

[@richardsousa2625]

Picked up some of those ewg ned heads. Ned rig is def on my list of things to master this year

[@The_Next_Cast]

Nice setup for that creek! Thanks for sharing!

[@tbecker403]

I bought a couple bags of those crayfish soft plastics years ago. I couldn’t figure out why they were hollow either. They caught fish, though.

[@johnnyweaver1300]

It's been so long since I went fishing I've forgotten how to detect a bite, you must not have done good with the spinnerbait or you would have showed it, one thing about tying to straight braid is if you get hung up it will be hard to get that bait back because the braid is way stronger than line! Great video!

[@jerryplesko9521]

At least there is no snow ❄️🌨️ ketch some fish Thanks 🙏 for the video

[@jeremycooley9784]

I love that rig setup, especially for the creek. I have used those craws before but it looks perfect on that offset ned hook!

[@johnmetcalf6104]

I really like the videos you post. I've learned a lot from watching them. I don't own a boat to go out on the lake, so I do a lot of creek fishing.

[@randyblevins9489]

John, you are "rocking the bass" in this one ! LOL ! Pardon the pun ! Good to get any creek critters this time of the year. Thanks for content, for those of us that can't get out easily this time of year. I agree with your end analysis of "stable water and stable weather" for best possible winter chance. Always be safe. Randy B.

[@claycook7307]

The nikko craws are so good!

[@markwybierala4936]

Again, another video that fully shows your technique. I also noticed your skill with the turnaround and getting the lure back into the water for another retrieve. I’m gonna work on my casting skills a bit this year.

[@coreymcdaniel8264]

I was just thinking about you my brother; glad to see your making creek fishing videos

[@christiankell6074]

THANKS JOHN FOR THE ADVENTURE!!!! As always you bring us another good video with some great tips for winter creek fishing. GOD BLESS and GO KATS!!!!

[@WoodboogerFishing]

Always love them Creek videos!👍🙂

[@BigRed1999]

Another awesome video! Keep up the good work John!

[@DodoBird157]

Try trout magnets or mini trout magnets in the winter. I’d just put them on under a float and maybe put some small split shot to assist casting. Then just use it like a crappie jig. It’s small and subtle.

[@brianathern9154]

Well buddy you discovered one of our creek and river go-to lures. We rig the 2.5 Yum craw bug on a 1/0 - 2/0 Weighted Keeper hook jig and "polish rocks" for smallies. The mid-shank weight makes it drop more horizontal than butt first. The hollow body allows for a nice hook set. Glad you found some bass. Blessings John

[@ri-jm5tn]

I’ve had real good luck with that Yum craw on a 1/8 oz ned rig hook. I’m always curious about the water temperature where you’re fishing. My local water is hovering around upper 30’s to low 40’s and the bite is practically nonexistent. Great job!

[@tylerpalmer8973]

I'm so jealous that you can fish open water there all year, basically. I'm not a fan of winter, lol, and all we have is "hardwater" fishing until April.

[@BassManStrikes]

Those little craws are awesome 😎

[@claycook7307]

Where can I get one of your creek hats?

[@raygissendanner1476]

John i would like too see you make a low budget fishing setup rod and reel lures hooks for people with little money that will work good great video nice creek nice fish thank you for videos

[@heavenbound358]

That was really sound advice. 👌

[@starkeyshelbyj]

Ive seen/used it rigged shank over the top, with the barb in the hollow of the bottom of the body no piercing necessary

[@Fishslaptv]

Looks like south chickamuga creek. 👊🏻💪

[@earlwilliams2889]

John I have those same lures you are using but I have never used them eather but I wil this spring thanks

[@jamesritter5078]

John, I just had this thought tonight: Has the idea of maybe making a DVD (or a series) of "BEST OF CFA" ever crossed your mind? I know you have a LOT of videos, and you could do them on different themes: Big Fish Trips; How To _________; Florida Trips; Panfish; Smallmouth; Big River Fishing, and so on. I know nothing of what might be involved in such a project - It's just an idea. Babe Winkelman, and In-Fisherman have done these kinds of things.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thats a good idea, i try to have them in playlists to find certain ones

[@jamesritter5078]

@@CreekFishingAdventures P.S. - I sure wish the CFA long-sleeve T-shirts would come back. The one I have is wearing out.

[@6stringgunner511]

Thanks, John!!! GREAT information to have!!! Your knowledge is greatly appreciated!!! You never know what climate or weather conditions you'll be experiencing while fishing for fun or survival. God Bless you and yours.

[@repairdrive]

Winter fishing up here in Chicagoland is just so hard on my frozen hands. Don't like to fish with gloves. Especially with ultralight tackle. ❄

[@martyadams3915]

Good video! Winter creek fishing can be tough! When it comes to spinner baits I believe you would be hard pressed to beat a black or brown rooster tail or dark colored meppsin the winter creeks. The yum products seem to be doing you great. I have not used them a lot but your positive experiences with them is pushing me to try them more. Winter can be a really good time to fly fish especially with weighed head wolly buggers and bead head nymphs the hellgrammite lure could really do good here. You hit the nail on the head with you have to fish the bottom, I believe that is the success to most creek fishing but especially in winter. Keep up the great work and as always when you get ready to do some videos in the helen ga area shoot me a message I will put you in a cabin on the creek.

[@darkreignfilms5648]

Love those craw bugs in that color, one of the few lures I’ve actually had consistent luck with around me. Along with the crickhoppers of course.

[@antonioperez1734]

Gonna go try this out in a spot I found near me with slow water in the next few days. Subscribed!!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Good luck!

[@mattcounts5201]

That yum crawbug is all that I ever use. It works best, in my opinion, on a 1/16 oz jighead. I drift mine in semi swift water

[@Michael-le7kl]

That soft bait is imitating a soft shell crayfish that smallest and Rock bass love

[@heavenbound358]

Where did you get the strange intro music

[@micahgrim2597]

I JUST took the same yum Crawl to a shallow park of a river here in ohio lol. Got skunked 😂

[@waterratlyle2590]

Awesome video with great tips at the end.

[@dannyyork1142]

Them small claws are same ones in Jason cristie kit at Walmart. I bought one 10 years ago like 15 bucks. It had all the hooks and like 5 diffrent sizes and colors of that little craw with hollow body and tail coming back to body. Killers on creek fishing.

[@charlesbrowder8416]

Good ol rockbass got to love em I use that same craw on jigs for a trailer in the river you know which river I'm talking about

[@4trx3vxn4]

Mannnn that little Greene sunfish attacking the camera killed me😂 they are sooooo aggressive. One of my favorite fish for sure

[@13outdoors47]

I’ve actually have used those craws for trailers a lot. They work great on jigs

[@ri-jm5tn]

PS: I got a couple med-light Piscifun spinning rods on deep discount. Really impressed with the quality/action.

[@jonhammes6209]

In VA, if the stream is less than 50 miles long, it's a creek, if over 50 miles, it's a river. Not sure how it is in other states. Also in VA, if you can float the stream in a canoe, it's considered public water even if it crosses private property. Some land owners disagree with that law and harass fisherman even if they stay in the water while crossing private property.

[@riverpirate1022]

Mosty correct except in the S west where there are some Kings Grant land/water issues where the landowners DO own the water from hundreds of years ago. In most states navigable water means you can take a powered boat up river/creek. It really should be any water you can float down or paddle/motor up more than 50%

[@CREEKFISHING423]

Rig those like tubes. I've been using those baits for decades and they produce. Before YUM, they were MadMan's Crawbugs. Yum bought the rights and the mold years ago. In muddy water, throw the black with red flake and hold on.

[@tombrewster54]

Excellent video as always John. Love it!

[@danflores8445]

Great fishing videos, great adventure!

[@roypeavy3542]

Enjoy your video 👍

[@steveklick]

You turn the reel like a pro! I wish the fish had a way too feed them so you can give them a reward like how when people catch lobster they put a minnow in its claw and release it so that they have a little snack to leave them off better than they were especially after going through all that. I almost think sport fisherman should carry along a little syringe full of food pellets or something so that they can stick it down in the fishes belly and pump some food in there. Do you realize how awesome fishing would be if everyone did that? Fish are often times extremely stressed after being caught especially in the down season when they are technically starving and are trying to conserve just enough energy to make it to the next feeding season.

[@agnesfasher7035]

John, I'm curious, do you use straight braid or tie on a leader? I'm starting to experiment with braid, and was told most time you tie on leader, but certain situations you don't have to. That looks like hi viz braid. I have that same braid. Thanks for another great video.

Still can't believe how active the creeks have been this year, blows my mind. Usually they turn off around muzzle loader season and don't turn back on until late March or whenever we get a few warm weeks in a row.
