Clear Water Creek Fishing -- Middle Tennessee
Ойын-сауық
So I took a week off work for vacation and the first place i went was a couple hours over to middle tennessee to fish a creek i had been dreaming of fishing for a while now. When i got there it was better looking than i even had imagined. Had a great time wading and fishing the crystal clear water and catching several smallmouth bass. i went through several different lures to try and catch fish but a lot of fish looked hesitant to hit when usually i would have caught them. The fishing wasn't as on fire as i hoped, and was not able to land a monster. It's so fun exploring a new creek and seeing what is in there. This video was edited while riding in a vehicle so it might not be the best.

Pure fishing at its best
Years ago, I owned property on the North Fork of the Shenandoah River. There was a spot where the flood plain butted up against a rock outcrop. I used to find nightcrawlers in the rich soil deposited there. The Smallmouth Bass would go nuts. Now I'm older, I've sold the property, but I will never forget catching those smallies out in the rocky river bed. My favorite fish of all time.
Enjoy your vacation and keep the vids coming:)

Another great video sir you are amazing and just seeing the fish and the size of fish you catching on the little steam are amazing I mean it really is keep up the great videos and even better fishing thanks for all you do
Have to love that crickhopper. I have them in six different colors. Lol
What a great spot, fish everywhere, lightweight fishing is awesome, I’m doing it more lately & really enjoying it. It’s not always about catching big Bass, you & Fish Hawk have great content & your vids have helped me out immensely being a newbie, nice catches!
Love your vids
Awesome videos! Keep it up
Amen great video! Such a pretty area. The water was so clean and clear. Wish you would have got that big one in. That’s fishin though.
I love this I fish my river all the time and catch nice large mouth and small mouth

That used to be my idea of what I wanted to fish until I learned that dingy water was much easier to fish. I can go to the dirty looking Rock River here in town any day after work and catch a lot of unsuspecting smallies, some almost at my feet. For over 20 years I looked at the brownish water and never knew it was loaded with smallies. They have no idea you are there and you dont know when they will hit. Cant see shit, but more fun to me.
Ready all the time let’s go
Great video again. Beautiful creek. And those Nikko hellgrammites came through again!! They do for me all the time. One of the best soft baits out there, IMHO.

I have been catch em like crazy on 1" 3/4 cabelas swim bait all summer long
John, excellent video. I think that Smallie that you felt that you rushed was going to come off at some point. It's been my experience that fish like that, that do a lot of dancin' are really prone to throwing the hook, especially smallies because they are the best at doing it. It was really fun watching you go after that guy on "sight". The video quality was such that I could watch him swim over which was amazing. Thanks for showing the "Adams Family" of suckers there at the end of the video...that was way cool watching them turn over rocks in search of food. Thanks for posting bro.

Live crickets work super well oftentimes for Smallies.

he wanted it because it was green, organic, biodegradable he is just a hip fish.... this is how I used to catch all of my fish in the day (and 90% today) Live bait.. none of this plastic stuff brother. ( but I am learning to fish with it). Very very beautiful spot.. if you ever have a chance to come to the northwest let me know.. I know of plenty of fish we can't catch together.. and some we can.. thanks for the share and carry on!

It is amazing how any creek within 70 miles of the Nashville Metropolitan Area could be so clear, especially if you fished this in August of 2019, when almost all water is full of green algae, and there are no mussels in these creeks.
Hmmmm. That place looks familiar! :) Dangerous little creek - gotta be careful about the weather. Give me a shout if you're in my neighborhood. Great video!

Helgrammite is a good choice but try that dressed Mepps I was telling you about it. More flash and noise. The big smallies cruise up and down the creek and they love aggressive baits. They get spooked easily though.
Enjoy these Middle TN creeks, if you’re still around middle TN I’ve got some places you could check out. Some really awesome smallmouth spots around the Antioch and Murfreesboro area.

Creek Fishing Adventures Oh. I have the same model and size as well. I really it too, especially the drag settings. But the only downfall with the spinning reel is if I whip the rod too hard for a long cast, the bail will automatically shut on me. I have lost a swimjig and a chatterbait (3/8 Z-Man Jackhammer White) when this happened.
Try some topwater. I have a lot of luck in KY creeks with whopper ploppers
