I love it that you can catch a five pound fish in your kayak, or a bluegill in a roadside ditch, and your level of excitement is the same. You’re a pure fisherman.

I’ve been a creek/roadside ditch/ water no one else wants fish, fisherman my whole life. Seeing you do what you do is a great reminder of what fishing really is, pure joy

John have you considered talking to one of you bait sponsors and getting a creek fishing adventure tackle set to sell to your subscribers. It could have any of your tried baits that everyone has seen you fish with. Then you could use your dalton10 for a slight discount. I would buy one.

If I had to guess, I’d say a Creek Fishing Adventures tackle kit would basically be a big ol’ box of hellgrammites lol

Pound for pound, the best gamefish of them all.

How I miss those adventures around the lake and the streams, when I was just a kid 🥺... Thanks again, Father God 🙏☝️... The limestone creeks were just packed with everything a little kid needed for self education about the biology of joyful hours... No cell phone service needed 😎!!! Just a cane pole and a few worms!!!👍

I don’t know how you do it John, but your videos just keep getting better and better! Love the cut ins with the nature shots. Thanks for another winner!

such a beautiful creek. so peaceful. some really pretty color on this bass. One thing for sure....you will never go hungry lol.

The Little Critters are a nice touch, keep it up John!😎👍

It amazing that with all the water that came through last weekend that they’re still there. I went through the gorge today on the way back from Cherokee, and that deep blue-green water was amazing. I was looking for you down there!

Enjoyed the nature shots . The water was so clear. Good job, the video was a fun to watch.

What a beautiful stream and fish, great video.

I came upon your channel today from watching a video from your trip in Indiana... Then I found your from Tennessee... Nice!!! You fish like I do.. Your knowledge is very good.. as well as the cam you use.. The sound is good on your mic as well... overall... I can watch from my tv.. as well as my cell phone.. and also go onto my pc.. and enjoy it as well.. Thank you for sharing your videos and fishing trips,, I look forward too enjoying many more...

Man I miss fishing like this and catching smallies! Great video

Way to go John another awesome video bro... And make sure you don't cut out the part where you slap the water before you grab the trout😂.

My kind of fishing. Love to wade, you can see all of nature

Beautiful fish and scenery! Stay safe and fish on!

Wow does this bring back memories of fishing these holes when I visited family in Kingsport Tn. Blessings from Seward Alaska, and thanks for the great post!

I catch alot of smallies trout fishing, thats pretty good. Pound fir pound, smallies fight harder by far, love them

Great video brother. Appreciate you taking us along on this beautiful wading trip in the creek. Love to see smallies chasing the ones you're fighting. Shows me there's plenty of action. Everything was crisp, scenery and nature spectacular. Blessings John

Working on my Georgia Bass Slam. Just picked up my Bartams. Thanks to you I know where to grab my Georgia smallie!👍

Man the river looks beautiful right now! I didn't know it got that low

John, I've watched your videos from the beginning when you first started posting them. It's enjoyable to see all the beautiful places you venture to.

Good stuff as always, John! Brought back fun memories when I fished parts of that stretch! BTW: Love the musical interlude with the nature shots! Your videography is second to none! :-)

great video and great fishing John and beautiful nature!! thank you for sharing!!

Great video John, keep em coming.

Love to see you do more appalachian mtn, creek fishing adventures. Those fish are insane would love to keep a couple beauties in my aquarium, their colors are unmatched to lake smallies!

I’ve been really busy with college and work recently and haven’t had time to fish but these vids help. Thanks.

My favorite KZread channel 🎣👍

I was up there Friday morning trout fishing. I'm loving this early season low flow schedule.

Just beautiful scenery & some nice catches, hard to beat that SM bite!👍🙏

A trout fan from New Zealand here watching your videos. We only have rainbow and brown trout (basically as our key freshwater river fish species) - no bass to enjoy so have to watch your channel.

I love the fact you’re taking the steps to raise your game in the bass world is you create videos fire each step in you’re journey the successes and failures it’s brilliant. You are already an amazing angler and I Am so inspired by what you have accomplished what you are doing.i am very new to the bass world and I’m learning everyday from some great anglers, but you are the topping on the cake and I can’t wait to get myself out on my first kayak bass fishing adventure. You keep pushing yourself forward and upward reaching higher milestones. You are already making young girls want to go for their potential as well in the bass world or in life in general just do it!!!!! Take care and God bless ❤❤❤❤❤

Great scenery and. Nice clear water look like great time

Another good video! I spent the day smallmouth fishing in a Lake Erie river… nada😩glad to see someone can catch them 👍🏻

If I had an aquarium big enough, I’d totally keep a smallie or a spot

I think you had a good time this trip John,.....glad to got into them. I'll be headed back there in a week or so myself. We caught 14 trout between the 3 of us below the powerhouse this morning. Was a very good day. Keep putting up the videos man,....I sure enjoy them.

Beautiful river reminds me of rivers I fish in Michigan for native trout Brookies. NICE CATCH love those smallmouth👍

Always love the great scenery as you go on your adventures! Also like when you talk about the lures as you fish them. Glad the weather and your water was not moving too fast! I’m still in the Nikko hellgrammite camp. Tried another brand but it seriously smelled of plastic.

I fish water like this in the Blue Ridge Mountains of VA, love it!

Envy rod and a Stradic reel. Nice setup

Another great video and content. You're doing a great job changing up your videos to keep things interesting.

Wow John! What a beautiful great place to fish. Maybe I can make a trip over there this summer and we can finally fish a spot like that.

Thats a beautiful spot. I got my first hellgramite fish this week, two nice brown trout. I usually catch 10 rainbows to 1 brown but since i was trying to catch rainbows for a weekly tournament, i caight 7 browns to 1 rainbow.

Great video, keep fishin’

Nice work

Enjoyed.

Trusty old reliable hellgrammite still getting it done!!!

All beautiful nice fish

Thank you for the beautiful shots of God’s Glory John 🙏🏼❣️🇺🇸

Love your videos .I'd like to see a creek fishing video using barbless hooks and pros and cons . Some think that some lost hookups are actually due to the barb .

Beautiful video as always! I need a new hat and I'm about to pick up one of yours. Also, ironically I got two phishing attempts from the lurenet website linked.

Those Rainbow Trout are feisty fellows!!!! Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee

Always Love ya vids John....I wonder if anyone realized Matthew 3:3 is Talking about John The Baptist? Plus Extra Bonus...your name also is John. lol May The Lord Bless You with many More days of fishing!!!

Another great video!! You make fishing look so easy!! Question…… do you rig your Hellgrammite weightless or with a ned rig. I bought some just trying to figure out the best technique. Thanks!

Great video

Think this is also my favorite type of fishing! It's a little hard here in N.Florida to find a creek you can walk up without a boat, and you also have to watch for venomous snakes, gators and other critters that could wreck your day, but I'm still going to walk up creeks when I find them...FishOn....Jim

In retrospect, you need to release the fish with more care. If you value your quarry, put them back like you want to see them live. Don't give them a slap to the face by throwing them in hard into the water after you've caught them

This was a very good video. Even though you have fished some of this water before on video this one was much better. Also im a sucker for the helgramite vids anyway. I bought 70 dollars worth of nikos last summer and gave many of them to family members to have for the niko experiance. I am still liking the small obsidian ones on a 1/16 oz jig head the best. I caught the first redeye bass i have seen in a decade in our creek on that lure.

Dude, I just preached Matthew 3 last night! That looks like a great day on the water.

What’s up John I was wondering is you have any recommendations for beginner kayaks because I’m trying to fish some creeks

Beautiful place. Is that an old mill? What is that? Really cool.

Come to middle tn and do a video with us! We would love to take you to some great spots we know and do a collab video. Let us know! Keep Casting!

What set up with what line are you using?

Back to back to back.

John: Tackle question. How long have you had your Stradic FM? I bought one a little over a month ago myself. I have 2 Stradic FL 1000HG's and got the new Stradic FM 1000HG for a new TFO ultra Lite Panfish II. It was a bit hard to turn the handle compared to my old ones. Like they used truck grease in it instead of reel grease. About ten trips in, I made a cast after moving spots and felt what I thought was a tiny brim hit. Leaned into it but nothing was there. Started reeling again and felt what I thought was a bunch of machine gun brim hits. Cast out again and the machine gun tics/taps started again right away. Figured out it was the reel, not fish! It was really bad! Returned the reel. For $200 it sure shouldn't have felt like that! Defective or Infinity drive issues? Let me know how yours works out. It already looks like the reel handle is turning a whole lot more freely than mine was. I may have just got a bad reel. I'll be very interested in how yours works out over the next year. Nice video by the way. Looked like a lot of fun. Blessings!

That is a beautiful clean river area. What river, near what town?

I went looking for that bait on Amazon and the first hit was a Rebel hard Hellgrammite? Is that new? I know you like the crick hopper so I thought maybe you hadnt heard of it.

Is that bc an ENVY rod? If so how long is it? 6’?

Wild fish! I'm thankful you're not fishing in Bass Pro's tank 😂

When we were kids hunting spring lizards in the rotten leaves we found them which we called penny winklers.

What's the name of the rod your using and lb test line and jig head and the name of that bug on the hook?

I'm going to be camping on lake hiwasse just inside the north Carolina state line from tennessee the third week of June. We fish the lake but what I'm really interested in is wade fishing some rivers or creeks for small mouth. I live in south Mississippi where we have several species of bass but not smallies. That's what I'm looking for. Would you mind recommending somewhere close to where I'll be camping to have a good chance of catching some? Been a subscriber of your channel for a few years and really enjoy your content. Help a brother out😊

What size reel do you like on a light rod

@CreekFishingAdventures

17 күн бұрын

1000 to 2000 for light rods

Maybe you tried and just didn’t show it but I’ve found that the actual white riled up water at the very top of the hole will often suck your bait down and get it deeper in the hole faster, which can trigger the bigger fish that tend to hang out at the upstream edge of the hole….

Where is this?

Have you moved away from the Zman Bullet Z Finesse?

How do you always snag them right in the lip? Whenever I fish I'm always spending like 10 mins getting it out of their throat🤣
