    My father always used a rooster tail. 1/6 oz. yellow. If I had to pick one lure for a survival kit it'd be that. I miss my father dearly, my fishing buddy. God Bless to all anglers.

    First time I used a Rooster Tail lure was back in 1973 in a little creek called Knob Creek(before there was a whiskey by the same name) just outside of Fort Knox KY. Caught several small bass. Fast forward to 1997, I’m now in the USAF and spending a little down time on Santa Rosa Island FL casting a little yellow Rooster Tail into the surf. That lure caught a fish on EVERY cast! I’ve never had a lure be so successful. Rooster Tail lures can be hard to find so I always pick them up when I find them. Cheers

    Great video John! Things are waking up in your neck of the woods. Been kicking pretty good in Fla., the winds that is! Creeks are the only places to go, and the fish are stacked at the mouths bordering lakes. The fish like the clear creek water to hang out, and hit the seams of roiled lake water with bait getting washed around to feed. Beetle spins are a solid choice, and small 2” Countdown Rapala’s. God Bless!

    My favorite is a 1/16oz white with red belly beetlespin(not split tail). I generally run an ultralight with 6lb braid and 4 lb leader, that gives me the versatility to bass fish with the same rod because a 4lb bass on an ultralight rod is just plain awesome!

    Rooster Tails has been catching all kinds of species of fish for over 70 years. They work as well now as they did when they were first developed. I have been fishing small local rivers for nearly 60 years. Always a "go to" lure. You can pretty much always count on catching something on them. My favorite's are the white, black, and silver.
    Nice video, looks like a fine little creek.

      Always a great choice.

    Great Creek Fishing Adventures video we've come to love John. When I'm chasing creek panfish and small bass I always like to have these 3 lures. Beetle Spin 🪲 and Rooster Tails in 1/16 ounce and a Road Runner jig same size. I pack a few jigs in case they want it slower but the go-to 3 are the search and destroy baits to find them. Yellow and firetiger inline spinners for a bit of stained water, white When it's clear. I like the root beer chartreuse or res tail 1 inch grub on the Road Runner. Beetle Spin is green and orange, black and stripes solid body. That rod seems perfect, since I'm shorter it's 5'6 or 6' light action. Blessings brother

    You were SO right! That "Bonus" Red Breast at the end, WAS worth waiting around to see! 😊
    I stuck around after reading the Bible verse like I always do, as I know you often add on an additional catch right at the end of your videos; and as someone who loves to catch Bluegill, Red Breast, & other types of Sunfish, it was totally worth it to me, to see you land that SLAB like you did!!
    Now, to find a way that I can finally afford to buy a new Rod & Reel Combo a License, & some Tackle, so that I can go out and do that same kind of fishing for myself!! 😊
    Continued luck with great catches, in the creeks & rivers, brother!!
    Take Care & God Bless,
    Ron H.

    Try using a bait that looks like a wax worm. I've taken white 4-inch worms and cut them to match the size of a wax worm. Wading small creeks or wadeable rivers, this size bait works well. As for a spinner, I like the Mepps over the rooster tail. It casts better, and the blade is more flashy while spinning.

    Beetle spins and soft plastic shad on a jig head (particularly one with a spinner blade) have to be the ultralight lures I have the best success with. I live in south Louisiana, so the water can get pretty murky due to the clay soils, so anything with a lot of flash or vibration tends to be good. Rooster tails also work really well, but the fish just can't stay off of the beetle spins and shad
