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

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.
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
Try using a trout magnet. It's a great starter lures for blue gills 👍🏿
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.
wow bro BANGER video more ultra light stuff please
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 🤟🏼
What a banger, great videos every week consistently, if your not subscribed to my man Larry your doing something wrong 🔥
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.
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…

Our creeks here are definitely overlooked by most!
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!
Let's go. Awesome video bro
Great video, fish on!
Nice job Larry! Enjoyed the video and appreciate you sharing your journey buddy. #LarryMelton,Jr. rocks!
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...
been loving these missions lately! Another banger!!
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!
Micro fishing is so much fun! Another great video man!
Good fishing!! 👍
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....
Let’s go a 43 minute video I love long videos like this
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!!
The best budget UL rod for the price is the Lew’s Speed Stick HS that is only at Walmart. It’s only $34 and it’s great. The reel I would recommend is the PFlueger Trion ($40) size 20-25. You will not be disappointed. The Berkley Lightning rod at the 5.6ft Light is even better but it’s $40-42. I would honestly get the lightning over the Lew’s but both are great.
love your vids

Great video man, sure is fun catching a bunch of small bass, crappie, and bluegill on an ultra light. I just upgraded my ultralight set up, StCroix Panfish series rod and a small Shimano Stradic .

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
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!
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
Yo zuri makes awesome jerkbaits for this type of fishing. Explore the UL fishing world. It's exciting.
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 😊
Great new content sir

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

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.
Try using a zman mini flash back it’s Chatterbait made for micro fishing
Let's see some tiny creeks
Daiwa revolver is a great micro fishing rod and reel combo
The pond I fish in has monster bluegills cat fish large mouth bass huge crappies
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 😂
