Wading in a cool, shallow creek on the hunt for some nice largemouth, doesn’t get much better. I’ve had a lot of success on what I call a “micro” wacky rig on light mono line with my ultralight rig. In those shallow creeks during the summer downsizing lures produces more action. I will always keep a couple of small Rooster Tails on hand (2 or 3 colors). Inline spinners are a lot of fun when the water is moving more. You do a great job with your videos. Thank you for taking us along. - Tennessee Smoky
I know exactly where this creek is. I live about a 1/4 mile from there. I would not have believed there was that many fish in there. It floods badly when a lot of rain
I would love to go fishing!! Being a widow that has no one to go fishing with. I've not gone in many years. Fishing is on my bucket list. I 'm 69 years old , not in the best shape. I can only dream. Enjoy watching you fish here in my hometown creek. Chickamauga Creek.
It seems I'm always lucky enough to be on the tablet when your notice about a release of a new video, and off I go straight to your channel. Love the creeks in summer. There's always something waiting for the bait no matter what it is.
Very cool creek until the quick sand muck bottom showed up. Very healthy bass population and nice compliment of panfish. Good to try out different baits and rigs. Many thanks brother man and blessings to you. Keep it coming
I love listening to how excited you get while you’re fishing I know that feeling I lost my fishing partner back in December to cancer oh I miss fishing with him.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but it is amazing how people feel like they're entitled to every bit of information - names of streams, etc. Essentially, they don't want to do the work of locating streams themselves, scouting them out, etc. You give out more than enough general information, and after all, the whole point of your channel is that there are all sorts of places to fish, no matter where you live, and many of these places are overlooked - I know some of the streams I fish down here seldom if ever see any fishing pressure.
wow I just noticed that you are now up to 92K+ subs. I think when I first started watching your videos you were only at a couple thousand subs. Congrats on your success!
I'm always impressed by your accuracy with spinning reels. I can do the same with a baitcaster. With my spinning reel, I still cannot cast, at a distance, underneath overhanging cover without ending up in the branches.
I thoroughly enjoy these longer videos. I am excited again about fishing. This past week I caught 67 keeper perch and a 2 lb largemouth bass. I enjoy fishing creeks and quiet areas too. I enjoy seeing the wildlife while I'm fishing and in your videos. It amazes me, but doesn't surprise me that since I've been watching you in only about 3 months you've went from just above 70K subscribers to over 91k! God bless you as you enjoy fishing and allow us to enjoy watching you enjoy it too!
Thank you so much John for talking about not revealing your fishing locations. My favorite creek was mentioned on You-Tube and has since been decimated. Six gentlemen came down the creek, five with casting nets. On another weekend a mile down the creek at another bridge four gentlemen were clearing out the creek with home made spear guns. Keep in mind this is what I witnessed while I was there, Lord only knows what occurred when I wasn't.
I am so envious of you, but happy for you at the same time. Where I live, to catch fish you have to drive over a hundred miles. No nice creeks like you have all around you. Thanks for the videos, so I can live vicariously through your adventures.
I do like these little extras. I feel like I'm getting to know you better which causes me to watch more. I also agree with not sharing your locations. I love that you take ppl fishing. This is your channel John. Just honor God, and He will honor you. Your brother Joseph
Thanks for the answer on license ...new veiwer since Justin's trip with you I'm enjoying your channel so far. Almost 60 and did alot of Creek and Beaver pond fishing growing up.
This is my local creek. I live in this town. There is a network of creeks like this in my town. Nice to see what's in them. I usually just go to a stocked pond to catch a few but this creek is interesting. Hopefully he will come back and fish a couple other creeks in this town.
Bass, Bass, and more Bass !!! Oh, and some redbreast too ! That was the biggest warmouth I've ever seen ! Great content, John. Congrats to the winner ! RKB
Great video again John. I love all the creeks you fish. It makes me wonder about every creek and river I pass. You just never know where you are going to catch something interesting. By the way, I really liked your recent collaboration with Kayak Catfish. Justin is a cool guy. I’d love to see you partner up with Typigpatrol in the great state of Texas. By the way, if you ever get a hankering for a Canadian adventure up in the middle of beautiful British Columbia, I’m game to show you my favourite spots. Wishing you tight lines and God bless.
I just spotted a likely little creek at the east end of my hometown mainstreet that I want to try. I can access it from a small parking lot near the bridge.
I just found your channel recently from kayak catfish. This is the type of fishing I grew up on. This is how I cut my teeth with a rod and reel. Love the channel and the content.
Hey some time when you drive through my area of Arkansas ,let me take you to a creek. Small mouth spotted some not many rock bass. I think you'd like this place so if your interested give me a shout. BTW i love your show i grew up creek fishing.
When you use a wacky rig, what size hook do you use and where or how do you place the worm on the hook. There is a creek close to my house that have lots of bass in it, but I have a hard time getting them to hit my lures that I use. I really like your channel and it has got me to exploring some creeks in my area. I like in Oxford, AL.
My daughter and I watched the video you went to catch bowfin in Eastern NC. I tried the same weightless cut bait on a hook like you did and didn't get the hook up. That said my daughter hooked the same bowfin I missed for her first bowfin. It was a 24incher. I would like to take you fishing if you are going to be in the Eastern NC area again.
I was watching an episode of shark tank. Not sure if it was an old one or not, so this may not be news but the guy was making and selling rings that you wear and they cut line like butter. He cut all different weights of line and it cut right through all of them. And you can't cut yourself. I hope these get marketed if they haven't already because I sure could use one! Better than fingernail clippers or carrying scissors.
@@CreekFishingAdventures the creek that is on the south side of Camp Jordon goes around and back into Chickamauga creek. The pond is down close to the intersection. I found it while canoeing, I haven't been back to try it.
Please do a video on Creek wading footwear. Seems like you wear regular shoes sometimes. Do they get rotten and smelly? Any tricks to different boots or footwear you walk creeks with?? I used sandals with toe cover but the stitching ripped apart after a few times of water use. Thanks.

You should do a special where you meet up with Richard Gene The Fishing Machine. That would be for one epic video.
I would love that btw...
I don't think RUclips can handle two GOATs at the same time. That would be cool though.
Might as well fish together now..... before they fish together in paradise!!!!!
Good idea. I would not miss for anything!
Yes!
This is Spring Creek located in East Ridge TN. I never had a day that I didn't catch a nice fish here. My backyard is on this creek.
I really enjoy your fishing trips. Thank you for your testimony and love your Scripture verses. Come to Springfield Mo. Great river fishing.

Some of the creek's around lake guntersville have some nice small mouths and pike
5:01. That looks like the creeks in my area. They are teeming with snapping turtles as big as garbage can lids.
14:41 thats a place that has been dugged out by beavers to transport branches to their "home" (dont know the english expression). Greets from germany
We call them dams because they usually block the current.
You are doing a great job leading us to places that we never dared to go until now.. Keep up the good work
God Bless and GO KATS!!!!!!!!!

Great little creek....those no account creeks everyone else passes by usually fish really good 😉👍
Always enjoy watching
Enjoy watching all your videos especially the Tennessee streams. Keep your lines tight

You need to fish the chickamuga Creek just off hiway 136 in ga. Those are my old fishing ground
A lot of smallies in there? I fish chickamauga creek in Chattanooga
@@savagemane7630 getting about time to move back will do alot of fishing in the creek then
I love listening to how excited you get while you’re fishing I know that feeling I lost my fishing partner back in December to cancer oh I miss fishing with him.
Maybe jon would fish with you
So sorry for your loss. I work in healthcare, and have lost several family members.
Jon is closer to my daughter's age for a fishing partner.
@@nancycopple4204 Nancy, so sorry for your loss.
I’m a great supporter, keep up what you’re doing, your fishing is such a pleasure don’t stop.

Well. Anyone with common sense can find this place. I’m on same page quit burning our. Spots!

Civil war or American Indian.

My home town has plenty of great 🎣 spots.. Chattanooga Cleveland areas
16:55. John using a Shimano rod. Never saw it before. I have four really nice 1980's Shimano graphite spinning reels.
Love it. People need to relax and just fish.
nice job on this video. pleased you don't give up all the spots u fish. True, it would be a disservice to the local anglers. Good call
I just spotted a likely little creek at the east end of my hometown mainstreet that I want to try. I can access it from a small parking lot near the bridge.
I really enjoy your videos! I no longer can paddle and creek fishing is what I can do. Thank you so much for the great videos!
Thanks for the video and God Bless.
I hate getting in muck like that, it’s like a suction cup stuck to your feet.
Went fishing today and somehow caught a bluegill on a wacky rig when going for bass in a pond
Love your videos and love your honesty I always look forward to getting my notification that you posted a new one
Another great adventure. Thanks for sharing.
I like the dialog at the end. thanks for the video.
This video was informative and entertaining. Always enjoy going along on your fishing adventures via video.
He's got some balls walking in that creek
Music to fish by lol!
Love the fishing adventures.
Really appreciate your honesty.
Keep doing what your doing cause it's working.
John, have you ever tried a 4" grub in these creeks? That is my #1 bait for high-pressured water....
Yes, continue with the special videos please.
Love your videos.
I like what you did by just doing it and fishing for a living. I want to follow you by doing a fishing to.
Thanks for the videos they have always been great.
Just subscribed, love your videos man. I'm a new fisherman and I'm hooked. God bless.
If you end up In 2 deep, you might be back at the hotel. lol
I just found your channel recently from kayak catfish. This is the type of fishing I grew up on. This is how I cut my teeth with a rod and reel. Love the channel and the content.
Great video, congratulations to the winner. Love just waking the creeks and seeing what lives in them.
Awesome content as always. Keep it up John. Don't mind the ads man. Keep doing you and God bless. Tight line's!👍
I need to go fishing...
I just found your videos. Awesome
Another great video brother keep them coming
Nice video mister John love your videos keep up the good work and go catch some more big ones
You should come up to upper East TN and fish horse creek, it goes a long ways and a good variety of all kinds of fish!!
Hey some time when you drive through my area of Arkansas ,let me take you to a creek. Small mouth spotted some not many rock bass. I think you'd like this place so if your interested give me a shout. BTW i love your show i grew up creek fishing.
Great video this is my favorite channel to watch
That's beautiful looking water.
awesome action!!! I need to get in some creeks here soon. How did you like the Shimano SLX rod? I got one a few months ago it's a solid piece!
About to hit 100k lets go
I'd rather catch 20 small ones in a few hours then 1 or two big ones lol
Amen, I’ll be happy to catch anything, including a frog!
Not me. Give me something over 8 and the whole day was worth it.
Really enjoy the specials!
Congrats to Racer and congrats to brother John for another fine video!!
Born and raised in middle tennessee, just recently discovered your channel. Gotta say would love to do some creek wading for smallies with ya.
I love watching your videos
Love the videos man!! Just got some new hellgramite and tadpoles used your code!!
Come on up to southwestern Ohio I can show you some good creeks full of smallies!!!
That creek was a good producer. Nice work !
This one of the best RUclips channels out their
Love the view and your contents 💕🥰 I’m one of your new subscriber
I actually like the detective work of trying to figure out which creek you’re on.
I know exactly where he's at
Try two O rings in a X then thread the hook were it sticks out from the side not in line with the plastic bait for more hook ups!
Get over to Knoxville John! We need to get on song Smallmouth!
When you use a wacky rig, what size hook do you use and where or how do you place the worm on the hook. There is a creek close to my house that have lots of bass in it, but I have a hard time getting them to hit my lures that I use. I really like your channel and it has got me to exploring some creeks in my area. I like in Oxford, AL.
Two way ton.vh[ok. With a O ring that connects to worm or just simply stick it thru the middle. I use a 1/0 hook. Works best for me in smaller creeks
Thank you for not sharing all your locations... being a local angler, I appreciate it!
I was going to say the same thing. It’s bad enough as it is.
Lol...I grew up on that creek...it runs right through my grandparents backyard..
It may just be me, but I don't see the big fish you were pointing at. But it is so much fun watching you fish.
Wow! 🐟
Fishing is fun plus times for happiness ***** AMEN 🙏!!!!
My daughter and I watched the video you went to catch bowfin in Eastern NC. I tried the same weightless cut bait on a hook like you did and didn't get the hook up. That said my daughter hooked the same bowfin I missed for her first bowfin. It was a 24incher. I would like to take you fishing if you are going to be in the Eastern NC area again.
I’m going to Gatlinburg/pigeon forge the 21st. Been watching ur vids from there getting ready!
Cool seeing the place I live in on my recommended
Great stuff as always!
Always good stuff!
What creek is this, I live in outside of Chatt and I didn’t recognize it
Is John using a tiny zip tie as an o ring 1:26?
I was watching an episode of shark tank. Not sure if it was an old one or not, so this may not be news but the guy was making and selling rings that you wear and they cut line like butter.

Have you fished the pond across the little creek from I75. It is before it runs into Chickamauga Creek?
No I haven’t been there
@@CreekFishingAdventures the creek that is on the south side of Camp Jordon goes around and back into Chickamauga creek. The pond is down close to the intersection. I found it while canoeing, I haven't been back to try it.
Great video man
Hey i know where that is... About a mile off I-75 in East Ridge Next to the old O'Reilly's before it moved
Nice fish.
Thanks for putting the bad boy bluegill intro back on!
Please do a video on Creek wading footwear. Seems like you wear regular shoes sometimes. Do they get rotten and smelly? Any tricks to different boots or footwear you walk creeks with?? I used sandals with toe cover but the stitching ripped apart after a few times of water use. Thanks.
Classic intro!
