Ain't nothing better than creek fishin'.. kind of like Forrest Gump and his box of chocolates..."never know what ya gonna get" lol. God bless & go fishin'!
Beautiful water good looking healthy clean fish don't it just drive nuts when you see the tires in the creek good video from the best fishing channel on TH-cam
I went to the lake today and caught some big cats. While that was fun, something about the light tackle in small creeks and ponds makes me internally happy. Nature is flawless in beauty.
I really enjoy your videos john. Ive been fishing streams my whole life and I am a big time smallmouth fisherman. I fish all over kentucky and most importantly I am a faithful follower of Jesus christ. I really appreciate how you share your faith on your videos keep spreading those seeds of hope to the lost young brother.
Really enjoyed this one. This is the material that brought me to your channel. Missed it lately. Hopefully you continue on your Creek fishing. Love it.
Jon, confidence in your lures is so important for successful angling.That is one of your best qualities as a fisherman.You are confident in certain lures and you stick to them.
Can you make me feel better about myself by throwing at least one expensive lure into the trees and lose it each trip! Lol. You cast good man. Nice video
John I love watching your videos. I live in the NC mountains about thirty miles from Appalachian college in Boone so there are numerous places to fish within a fifty mile radius. If you want to catch a lot of good quality fish you just need to be willing to wade. I have fished for miles at a time in the local waters around here and have encountered very few other fishermen unless there was a road running along the waterway. May GOD continue to bless you.
You have definitely got it figured out and mastered. I love your creek wading videos. You manage to wear them out consistently. Keep up the great content 👍
Just subscribed! I have been watching your videos for about a month now. Really enjoy them! I'm from Southeast Kentucky, also Christian country boy. Truly enjoy your laid-back approach to fun fishing. Waiting for future videos!! GOD bless! Randy Blevins
I continue to be amazed by the number and quality of fish that you catch! The "creeks" in the area where I live are so muddy... The only way you can tell where the bank stops and the stream starts is because sometimes the stream is moving. Moving mud. We get nothing like what you catch. Very enjoyable to watch. :-)
My type of creek; that looks very similar to the streams I fish here. It's amazing how these streams change character based on the topography. Where I live, it's flat and swampy in places, and the rivers are pretty wide, tidal, and ringed with cypress trees. Drive a little ways north, into the hills, and they look a lot like this stream. Most of ours, in their upper reaches, have a lot of sand.
This is the best kind of fishing...exploring... catching fish...staying cool in the water...and you usually end up with a few big ones...other people spend 20k for a bassboat and cook in the sun all day for 2 or 3 large fish. You want big ones....upsize a bit to a kayak and a bigger river...same thing...exploring...catching fish...staying cool in the water...and you usually end up with some even bigger ones. Rivers and streams are sooo much fun. Keep up the great fun!!!
Creek Fishing is the best fishing you'll ever do. Anybody that grew up out of the country & had a creek by their house, swimming hole and fishing hole all in one 😁. God bless & go Fishing
Because creeks often have trees encroaching from both sides, conventional casting is often difficult or impossible. I developed a technique that uses the rod and lure like a bow-and-arrow. The timing has to be precise, but you can shoot a lure into a pocket that would normally be inaccessible. Some of the best pockets along a bank would have to go unfished without that trick.
Hey John, I know exactly what you mean when you say these creeks change. That's something I have noticed through the years, and sometimes it doesn't take long for some creeks to change their characteristics such as depth, rapids, and deep holes. Good little video, and a classic example of clear stream fishing.
beautiful creek. running water is always so pretty. such a great time in the outdoors. I use to creek fish when I was in HS, but that was 56 years ago. We used top waters that had 5 treble hooks on them. Highly illegal lol. Lots of fun though. Here in East Texas, we always had to contend with the cotton mouths. But, we were young, didn't matter. Really enjoyed your video.

His fishing videos are very good, this lake is incredible and has big and beautiful fish, congratulations fisherman. Hug!!!👍😉
You are the best fisherman I've ever seen you are so cool cuz you go for anything and doesn't matter whether they small or big I love your reaction when you catch a fish God bless you buddy
Z Man has several smaller crayfish baits I use on 1/16 oz jig with a #2 or even #2/0 jig hook I find that sometimes is I do a real slow retrieve With lots of letting it just sit on the bottom That the picky large bass will move over and suck it up
Thanks for this one. I just love fishing in these small creeks and rivers just like you do. However, I have seen lots of people fishing those swimming baits and catching big fish on them. I have yet to catch a fish on them and this video was a great help to me. Thanks.
@@desertbrewcrew1974 , Big Bear is beautiful. I went there several times while my father was stationed at Ft Irwin. I was last in Big Bear in June of 1992.
That's beautiful brother.. And thank you for your faith.. In a world lacking in morality its a blessing to see someone use their platform to promote a good moral center.
Enjoy your videos... keep it up....if you ever want to go on a road trip and fish . I live 40 minutes west of Nashville. 3 different creeks within 15 minutes from me. I can't fish anymore but would take you. keep doing what you do.
This is a fantastic video. That water is so pretty. I haven't been able to find many creeks around here. Guess all these lakes take up all of the room. lol. We do have some beautiful lakes tho. Going out this weekend. I just got some new jobs and can't wait to try them out. I don't care what I catch, I just like the challenge of finding the right set up for what's biting. Thanks for sharing. Happy fishing. God bless.😁🙏🐟🐠🐡🐌🐛🍩🍔🍟🚣
Man I grew up fishing that creek you brought back so many memories of fishing there back in the day you should use a smaller jig next time catch alot more fish in there and on the other side of the tunnels go up the creek towards cave springs catch some nice rainbow trout up that way maybe try your hellgramite thanks for the video it was great to watch makes me want to come back home to fish
Is 6’8” the shortest they make that serpent rod? I like the weight of my carbon x 2k and 7’ dobyns fury but I feel the serpent might be a tad lighter than the fury.
Nothing like creek fishing on light tackle! My favorites are panther martins for bream and creek chubs, but my best kept secret is a zoom baby fluke pinned through the nose with a medium cricket hook with no weight and worked like a jerk bait. Recommend you try it!
Creek Fishing Adventures just a smaller hook is all you need man! Retrieve it like a jerk bait and watch the bass and big green sunfish flock to it. My favorite colors are Anything natural like Arkansas shiner.
Love catching them spots those were eating good healthy fish. I'm loving the hellgramites I use a 1/0 off shank worm hook make it weedless on a Carolina rig works great.
Look how green and clear those holes are.. must be deep.. beautiful gods country brother... blessed my brother blessed... I can't be in the sun unless I'm standing in the water.. somethingnabout my feet staying cool from the water doesn't make me feel sick
You the man John, me and Bubba are headed to chick tonight, going to crash in a Hotel and wake up bright and early and hit the water all day tomorrow in the Bass Boat, pretty pumped about it!!!!
Beautiful little creek. Clear and purified by the rock formations breeds healthy fish. I only catch and release but for those who eat their catch that's some fine eatin' to be had. Very enjoyable video. I'm thinking about two of those logo shirts! I'm HOOKED on the look of them 😉😁😂. One for me and my husband might be fun. Wish some fishing channels would offer logo patches as a choice. Would look great on fishing vests, tshirts, and caps and soft gear boxes...just a thought.
@@CreekFishingAdventures Oh 😎! I'd be so UP for that. Many of us lady anglers have plain ball caps we wear, usually in solid color. A patch for the side or front of a ball 🧢 would be especially nice! Since I wear my UV 30 or UV 50 sports shirts for summer fishing, polerized sun🕶️ and a ball 🧢 that logo patch would "L👀K" mighty fine. 🔥 idea! I'd also ♥️ to see a waterproof decals for the YETI cooler too. I know, "girls", we want it all 🥰. I'll be keeping an eye out for it! 👍
Was planning on floating south chickamauga Creek this weekend near Ringgold, GA this weekend and kayak fishing. John has a vid about it, that's how I heard about it. Does anyone have any specific suggestions about where to put in and take out?
Thanks for the info. Had emergency at work, just got off, it's 1 am sheesh. Still planning on going though if I can get up early enough. I live an hour from there and it is gonna get hot tomorrow.
You’re the reason I’m going out to get an ultralight set up and hit some PA creeks. Thanks man keep catching.
Can't wade most pa creeks. Remember or creeks are rivers for most people, lol
I live in PA too, we really do have some nice creeks and bodies of water. Good luck out there
Bass pro has 20 dollar 6ft ultralight. It's yellow. Got 6lb mono on it and man the smallies fold that rod. So fun.
@CreekFishingAdventures I have an ultra light set up, but I've never tried creek fishing. But I am gonna try it next week while I'm off work.
Ain't nothing better than creek fishin'.. kind of like Forrest Gump and his box of chocolates..."never know what ya gonna get" lol. God bless & go fishin'!

Jon, confidence in your lures is so important for successful angling.That is one of your best qualities as a fisherman.You are confident in certain lures and you stick to them.
You are right about that, plus learning how to fish a certain lure to get the most bites
Always nice to wade through a cool creek on a hot day!
Haha, best intro ever. So honest and funny.
Man that water is beautiful
Can you make me feel better about myself by throwing at least one expensive lure into the trees and lose it each trip! Lol. You cast good man. Nice video
Ditto!
👍
@Tenncutty we must be related 😁🤣😁
I know the feeling 😆😆😆
I'm always blown away by his casting accuracy and skills!!
I don’t know why but I love your intro so much😂
Same lol
I agree it's pretty cool!
😂 Yeah, I love it. Kinda sets the mood for some nice creek fishing for sure.
This one is my favorite. The fish be like, “oh no, you ain’t takin’ my picture!” Please be safe everyone.
We all do
Your videos capture the pure essence of fishing. Many professional tournament anglers could benefit from this type of fishing.
John I love watching your videos. I live in the NC mountains about thirty miles from Appalachian college in Boone so there are numerous places to fish within a fifty mile radius.

I have fished for miles at a time in the local waters around here and have encountered very few other fishermen unless there was a road running along the waterway. May GOD continue to bless you.
Dude your right, if your willing to wade you can catch so many more fish
You have definitely got it figured out and mastered. I love your creek wading videos. You manage to wear them out consistently. Keep up the great content 👍
CFA . Is up my alley love creek fishing!
Looks like a fun day. Tight lines bud!
Loved the verse at the end fits perfectly for the creek your in.
15:57 yes we can see it. Nice!
I need to take casting lessons from you! You make long, smooth, accurate cast! Awesome!
Love the videos man. I would love to see you do some trout fishing in north Georgia. Thanks for what you do, God has really blessed you brother.
Man that water is super clear!
Surprised you never run into other fisherman or kids hanging out.
Beautiful creek👍
It happens but not usually where I try to go
I don’t think kids hang out outside anymore lol
I'm glad you got into some of the technical side of creek fishing. I always said creek fishing is more like hunting. Put the stalk on them
Agreed
You’re right, it’s more hunting to get the good ones
Just subscribed! I have been watching your videos for about a month now. Really enjoy them! I'm from Southeast Kentucky, also Christian country boy. Truly enjoy your laid-back approach to fun fishing. Waiting for future videos!! GOD bless! Randy Blevins
thanks man
That is a nice creek I was doing the same thing today myself catching some creek smallies. Creeks rock!!
Yeah man, the fish are always feisty
Yes no matter what size they are they like to never give up
Thanks for talking more about where you're casting and why, and what you're thinking about how to catch fish. Helpful for a guy whose new to all this.
This is a really happy video. I love seeing the released fish zoom off in the clear water. Thanks!
yes it is
You and 618 fishing are my 2 favorites fishing on you tube. Just really nice guys
I continue to be amazed by the number and quality of fish that you catch! The "creeks" in the area where I live are so muddy... The only way you can tell where the bank stops and the stream starts is because sometimes the stream is moving. Moving mud. We get nothing like what you catch. Very enjoyable to watch. :-)
Your right there’s a lot of good creeks around here
“Where there’s spots, there could be anything.”
“Anything” = tons of spotted bass
Haha, wasn’t much else
Love creek fishing especially in the heat of summer. Nice catches!
Definitely helps keep you cool
My type of creek; that looks very similar to the streams I fish here. It's amazing how these streams change character based on the topography.

It is really interesting how the creeks are different from place to place.

Because creeks often have trees encroaching from both sides, conventional casting is often difficult or impossible. I developed a technique that uses the rod and lure like a bow-and-arrow.

Tried that too! Not easier than regular casting whatsoever!
Yeah that con be useful. I usually underhand cast

Z Man has several smaller crayfish baits I use on 1/16 oz jig with a #2 or even #2/0 jig hook
I find that sometimes is I do a real slow retrieve
With lots of letting it just sit on the bottom
That the picky large bass will move over and suck it up

thanks, i like the small swimbaits and slow retrieve
Needed that quote! I got to find some creeks like that.
Yep, great fun fishing. Wish I had that type of creek fishing here. Something I really miss after leaving Kentucky.
The creeks are amazing! In my country we only have muddy poluted creeks
luckily i live by mountains and hills to have clean water coming out of them
Its going to be 113 plus in the high desert this weekend. Its time to high tail it up north to do some fishing!
Used to live in Barstow... fun times
@Dane Boro Holy! yeah you guys are always 4-7 degrees hotter than us vagas people.
@@timothythompson380 It would be a good idea to go to Big Bear, its wierd, guys still hooking up trout even in this weather.

I fished that creek last week. Had a blast!
What the name of it?
@@fishingwithtidwell8137 stop fishing and go for real fishing
Nice to see places like that , Nice places like that still are around clean clear water great video great scenery
The water was so clear on this day
Nice clear water nice fish nice scenery great video keep them coming nice to see nice place where you go
Did not know rocks needed good water quality. I catch a lot at the river near me. That’s good to hear!!
I remember when you had 20k great videos which is why at 20k I subscribed because you are so good
Thanks man
I realized i reel with my left too. It's been that long since i went fishing. Alot of people probably think I'm weird.God bless,have a good day
I cast with my right also (like how I throw a ball). I think it's weird if it goes the other way. 😂
Good stuff man! The water and the fish are beautiful, keep up the good work
Love your videos bud I'm from pickens sc and I take my 2 boys creek fishing every weekend. Thanks for the video!!!
Have fun!
Beautiful water. Too bad about all the tires. Thanks for taking us along.
5:02. Where I grew up you don't see tires in the water you see dead bodies lol!
Dude I love these fishing videos. I'm off work next week, and I'm gonna have to give this a try. It just looks like such a fun way to fish.
i find it more relaxing
Enjoy your videos... keep it up....if you ever want to go on a road trip and fish . I live 40 minutes west of Nashville. 3 different creeks within 15 minutes from me. I can't fish anymore but would take you. keep doing what you do.
You find some really cool looking places. Good job
What a beautiful creek! Awesome video!
Like your new video (Go-Pro) and microphone. Quality much clearer.
Thanks. I’m glad to know my money wasn’t wasted. I like it better myself

I gotta know, why braided line? You also got to try north chick. It's loaded with smallmouth and only a mile or 2 from where you are here.
just like it better
I love watching your channel. The creeks and fish species are same as we have here in northwest Arkansas.
Is 6’8” the shortest they make that serpent rod? I like the weight of my carbon x 2k and 7’ dobyns fury but I feel the serpent might be a tad lighter than the fury.
It is in medium light
Another great video and nice catches! Beautiful place to fish!
Your Videos are always GREAT & EXCITING 👍👍✌

Please continue to be careful & stay safe 👍👍✌

I fish mainly in middle Tennessee, I dont know of anything this clear, looks great! I love pulling big fish out of shallow water
I remember one year in a local pond I saw huge wild goldfish. Someone must have dumped them in the pond. They grow huge like carp.
Just another day at the office John , solid couple hours fishing.
Dammit. Wish we had more creeks like in AZ. Phx area.. too hot and too developed to have natural bodies of water.. truly blessed.
Love catching them spots those were eating good healthy fish. I'm loving the hellgramites I use a 1/0 off shank worm hook make it weedless on a Carolina rig works great.
I need to try it like that more
You definitely won't be losing as many it falls slow that's when they nail it
That's a cool creek.👍
Look how green and clear those holes are.. must be deep.. beautiful gods country brother... blessed my brother blessed... I can't be in the sun unless I'm standing in the water.. somethingnabout my feet staying cool from the water doesn't make me feel sick
It definitely keeps your body cool from standing in the water like that
Beautiful creek...good video!
I wish I could still wade the creeks, at 71, its more than a chore.
Beautiful creek. I love the fishing in South Florida, but we lack the beautiful secluded nature that these tiny creeks have.
Yeah there’s give and take on different places
Very nice video, my Hellgrammites are doing great here in northwest Arkansas
Good to hear!
Nice job find kitchen knows little Kentucky bass Keep up the good work I will keep watching
If this is your new camera you just bought, it's much clearer and defined!!
Yes it is, thanks I do feel like it has better quality
Those slim swimz are one of my go tos as well as the 3 inch keitech
Awesome man, they just really have been catching fish for me recently
Thanks for the rig info!
great video, lots of fish. stay safe.
Hey you gotta try the Berkley gulp swim baits.. they are a little expensive but I've had awesome luck on them.. great video
Ok thanks. I try that
beautiful creek!
I’m surprised you don’t run up on more Copperheads & Cottonmouths. I fish streams here in Mississippi & always see them.
What’s the name of that creek and where is it I would really like to fish it
Roper Houlditch same!
If he told us it wouldn't be worth going to because of the crowd (us)!
Awesome video that creek looks like they could be a 3 or 4 pounder in there
I bet there’s one or 2 hiding in there
You the man John, me and Bubba are headed to chick tonight, going to crash in a Hotel and wake up bright and early and hit the water all day tomorrow in the Bass Boat, pretty pumped about it!!!!

Praying right now this minute.
Prayers sent and God bless you guys thru this dark time.
I'm so sad to hear this. I pray God will help you through this difficult time. You are in my prayers.
Awesome Creek! Would be a blast with ultralight gear.
Was planning on floating south chickamauga Creek this weekend near Ringgold, GA this weekend and kayak fishing. John has a vid about it, that's how I heard about it.
Does anyone have any specific suggestions about where to put in and take out?
There’s a park in town to put in and can take out behind the high school but it’s a little tough
Thanks for the info. Had emergency at work, just got off, it's 1 am sheesh. Still planning on going though if I can get up early enough. I live an hour from there and it is gonna get hot tomorrow.
If you ever get up to south east Michigan let me know we can fish the Huron river
