Lots of old timers in the Deep South call crappie 'white perch'. I'd bet money the guy on the bank was crappie fishing. The rain didn't miss us in S. Alabama...rivers are WAY out of their banks, right now! Stay safe!
So glad to see a new video from John and Creek Fishing Adventures. While the snow melts here today I can enjoy watching John fish. In about 3 months I'll be out there...but oh enjoy watching John fish! Seriously! And as a Christian I look forward to God's Word at the end of the video!
I live by A flint river i michigan and i was like idk bro you might not want it! Thank you for all the great movies!
Hey John....nice to see you in my area doing some shoalie fishing. Fished there a few times and last year caught a 5 lb bowfin in that same oxbow. That's what we call those arms that go off the main river....oxbow. Just downstream there are a few more. I catch most of my shoalies on the main river but this time a year you can catch them in slack water where there are no shoals or rocks. I'm slamming this year too. If you want an Altamaha Bass just pm me. I have place I caught some nice ones last year.
You're single handedly getting me through the NJ winter of awful to no fishing
from jersey too. iced over in s. jersey
Central Illinois and it’s cold here sucks big time
Thinking the same thing here in Burlington County. Watching CFA, and ordering more gear for when we thaw out.
NJ!
Now that's how you have a successful day.
What a scenic river to fish.
Glad the trip turned out to be worth it.
SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad to see that you were able to get your target fish...THE SHOAL BASS!!!! And of course it always good to have some variety thrown in. Another great video John. And i am glad to see other people recognize you from other states. Confirmation that you are doing exactly what God wants you to be doing. Keep up the good work sir.
Still trying to thaw out from the snow and ice
I love the look of those shoal bass One more species that I will just have to catch through you John never will get down that way again
Always enjoy and appreciate your videos thanks for posting them
God bless
That was an awesome day of winter fishing! We’re definitely going to have to check out the Flint this summer!
Definitely!!
its not that far also
Man usually the flint is crystal clear! It was chocolate milk that day.
oh really, i definitely would rather fish it when its clear
My day is always better when you drop a new video. There are so many beautiful places in your neck of the woods. I hope to see it for myself this summer. Keep up the great work John. You are helping alot of us get through this cold winter.
Great video John. Can't wait till you can get us some good CFA videos from Eastern Tennessee.
Great vid brother. In middle and South GA a white perch is a crappie. 👍
There are some good places in NE Georgia that are a lot closer to you and have some big shoal bass and spots above Lake Lanier. The walleye and stripers will be running up the rivers soon!
I really enjoyed the video I'm glad you are getting out making videos and nice weather instead of sitting at the house doing nothing I would really like to see more white bass on light tackle that would be fun
Shoal bass are so fun to catch and the Flint River is full of them! Great video!
A great video John i have always wanted to fish that river also. Yes go back again i know Aaron would love to try it. God bless you and your family John......🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤😀🙂😊
Those shoal bass look pretty neat. As for "white perch" vs white bass - those were definitely white bass. There is a related species called white perch, that is common to the eastern seaboard, but only as far south as South Carolina - apparently they aren't found in waters draining to the Gulf. I'm wondering if those Georgians using the term "white perch" mean crappie - that's the regional name for them in Mississippi and north Louisiana. In south Louisiana they're called "sac-a-lait", literally "bag of milk" in French....too many regional names for fish.
Yes! Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama..a white perch is a crappie!! John was catching white bass. Awesome video. Never heard of a Shoal bass.
@@bulldog7196 I have heard of them, but I've never caught one; I think they're pretty much limited to the Flint, and perhaps the Chattahoochee - there are some really neat, isolated species of bass.
@@ianjones6910 It's really cool to learn about new species at 54 years old! Never heard of a coosa bass until subscribing to this channel. I've been fishing my entire life but recently moved to Tennessee. I had no idea there were Muskie here until watching this channel!!!
I'm an old creek fisherman and I'm so excited about finding this channel. Can't wait to catch my first ever smallmouth.
That fish intro is BACK!!
Love the video, so nice to see something like this when here it's snow and ice.
So good to watch a fun video from John! It’s cold and snowy here in Western PA, makes me long for summer!
I grew up near the the Flint River, on the Kinchafoonee Creek a tributary in Southwest Georgia. There are some incredibly beautiful stretches of the river that are also great places to fish for Shoalies. I’d recommend a trip to Sprewell Bluff Park in Upson County near Thomaston and just below Lake Blackshear at Warwick Dam. The only other river systems in Georgia with Shoal Bass are the Chattahoochee and Ocmulgee. The new state record was just caught on the Chattahoochee just below Columbus, Georgia.
Good day John never seen a shoal bass ,,can’t wait to hook one thanks.
I love the flint river man tons of multi species most of my short clips are based around the flint awsome to see someone so weel know. Fishing my spota
Nice to see you on our Georgia rivers. If you ever get a chance - the Ocmulgee river even further south has some large Shoal Bass in it. We've caught them upwards of 6-7lb rarely in there but many in the 3-4lb range. And they fight hard!
thats sounds nice
What a fine day of multi species fishing, especially for this time of year. Plus it’s always a little more fun at a new spot
learned something new today; never heard of a "shoal" bass until today!
Congratulations on catching what you went for. That always don't happen lol. Great video as always and cool looking bass for sure.
Nice little GA trip on a whim. Have to add Shoal Bass to my bucket list, thanks brother. Great ramp recon, info gathering and Intel. Like in the 3rd Raiders of the Lost Ark..this old knight says you chose wisely! Blessings John
gooood mornin....... Oh yeah, waiting to see how long before you put the Helgramite on. lol Looks like a white bass/white perch/hybrid kinda fish to me. Wooohhh we saw it but that was about it. Hit right at the boat. Nice Shoal Bass. it sure looked like that second one hit it a couple of times. Thanks for taking us along. it was fun.
Wow! You were in my area!! I'm in Dougherty County!! Shoal bass are AWESOME to catch!!
In Georgia, “white perch “ is another name for crappie.
Pretty place to fish! You caught multiple species which is always a good thing! Have a safe trip home and thanks for taking me along!
Good video! Thanks for that Bible verse at the end, keep up the good work God bless 🙏❤️
That shoal bass looked so cool 😎
I know exactly where your fishing 🎣 at. Excellent place just on the outskirts of Fort Valley Ga. I always wanted to fish the Flint River. Excellent fishing video .
I
Hopefully the fish will start to run in Tennessee soon. Great video.
This is like what happened to me at the Chattahoochee river. No bites on the river but when I went into a connecting Creek I got bites.
AMEN! Nice video! Those shoal bass were pretty! Some good catches there John!
Georgia bass slam is on my bucket list. Good start for you; great content thanks.
Yeah, white perch are white bass with no stripes. But some locals may call them something else. Great video! Keep em’ coming!🤨
I'm glad that worked out great for you! I definitely want to catch a Shoal Bass one day.
Thanks for this video John. Really needed on a cold East Tennessee day! You're getting pretty famous being recognized in south Georgia.. Boy I Knew you when............lol
haha
Well done young man. Thanks for sharing and have a Blessed Day.
I think it’s so neat how different parts of the country calls fish by different names. If you said “white perch” here, they’d think you were talking about freshwater drum. And in Louisiana “white perch” is crappie. 😂🤣😂
i know, i get so confused when i go to different places and hear people talk about the fish
Looked like a fun trip!!!
Great video. I'm thinking of taking my pdl 120 in the river near me. After watching your videos, I think I'm going to give it try.
I hit the like button before i even watch these videos 👍
Great adventure John! Always good to watch! Thanks for sharing!
Dude thats so cool i live on lake lanier if you wanna fish! I have access to a dock and a bunch of trails that lead to a bunch of bass and panfish and stripper! We also have pike and walleye
Hard to beat a multi-species trip in a new location! I caught a 2.75lbs bass on ultralight gear myself a few days ago. Can’t beat that rush!!
This was a pretty awesome video! I caught a two pound spotted bass a few days ago but mostly panfish lately! I still love catching panfish they are really awesome especially when the bass aren’t biting!
That's my favorite spot to fish. You should try for the bowfin out there next time.
oh i didnt know they were in that area
Looks like a good trip I noticed that Dixie custom rod they are awesome man I have two of them and Dewayne makes a quality product and stands by it also was curious if your fishing the smallmouth king tournament in June in East tn
Looks like a killer river to fish! Awesome video buddy never failing to disappoint 👊🏻🔥🎣
Nice..... congrats on the catches. Please keep up the good work it keeps me looking forward to the new season of fishing here in Northern Virginia.
If Aaron can't make it, I'll fill in. I have had my eyes on that spot for years, but I don't have a boat or a kayak.
Nice video! I'm getting ready to go on a creek fishing adenture myself. Keep the videos coming.
Do you plan on putting a fish finder on your boat? If so which ones have you been eyeing?
Love your videos. There isn't many fishing channels on rumble. You should start a channel on rumble
Sausage egg and cheese biscuit sounds epic right about now!!
Looks like a lot of fun! Excited to see the fishing pick up. Means I'm only maybe 6 or 8 weeks away from some decent fishing myself.
Really great video, John!
Those are beautiful fish.
As always, I so enjoyed this video. Way to go John😊
I’d love to take you out on the section of the flint near me, it’s the best shoal bass fishing in the state
Well that was a pretty good video John, you got a lotta nice fish, I know you're wearing a t-shirt but it looks cold I guess cuz the trees didn't have any leaves on them, muddy river first thing came to mind was catfish, man I can't even remember the last time I caught white or yellow perch that's how long it's been
I did the research. A white perch is a perch that looks like a walley and crappie all together as one. You would've totally noticed the difference in face and the white perch only has a single line running through it just like how some walleye have or like a snook line.
thanks, thats what i was thinking
@@CreekFishingAdventures Yeah, I also never realized those were shoal bass, we catch those up here in Minnesota and people just call them smallmouth but I've always noticed the lizard or snake like design and mentioned it. I'll start telling people that they are shoal bass and it will blow their minds! Learned that from your video.
@@steveklick Shoal bass only exist in Georgia and parts of Alabama. Smallmouth are a separate species with a much wider more northern range.
@@PhotonChief Yeah well we have two kinds of smallmouth with ones that look exactly like shoal bass with the pattern.
@@steveklick no shoal bass are only in georgia, but they do look like smallmouth even though they are diferent
Nice shoal bass trip. Congratulations on catching some. What fishing vest are you using in this video ?
We call that stripped bass Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
That's cool that guy recognized you.
You're my number 1.......Aaron's my number 2 ! LOL !
If you want to catch some slab crappie, go to Price Creek on Lamont ville road, if you kayak, paddle down to the bend in the creek and fish towards the right bank, you can spot fish along the way also. Great fishing, Make a video!!
Lamont ville road is behind Bowaters in Charleston, TN goes to 58 highway.
No real white perch in Ga supposedly. They were likely like you said talking white bass or Crappie
Good video ! Love it that you went someplace new. As soon as you said South Georgia, I thought of Aaron's Outdoors LOL ! When you said Georgia Slam, I knew where you probably learned that from ! Glad you found the shoal bass you were looking for. Made the trip worthwhile for you. I always enjoy the WORD of GOD you post at the end, please always continue to do that. I pray that someone would see that and have a change of heart to accept JESUS. Until next time....(or video), Happy Trails to you ! Randy B.
I'm getting a little bit jealous of what you do nowadays, John. I hope to get into TH-cam someday if I can work around my job schedule. It's never too late to start. I want to try to be successful in making fishing videos. Seems like a lot of fun.
So according to the Peterson's Guide, white perch and white bass are very similar, differing in that the perch lack dark stripes. The ranges for white bass extend further into Georgia than white perch, so it's more likely that first fish was a white bass.
White perch is a white crappie in the south that's what my elders called it but I maybe wrong
Next time your down in mid-south Ga, I have some awesome ponds I get 6lb out of. I grew up by the flint river in Crawford/upson county side, big gators in there too lol. Hit me up. God bless.
Your the man!!!! Great video!
Nice video great fishing
Those liked more like small striped bass. White bass have multiple strips but they trail off before they get to the tail.
Yes, only one of the stripes extends out to the tail on a white bass. Wherr it gets somewhat more difficult is when a striped bass mixes with white bass and you have a hybrid. Dorsal fin separation is another key indicator of white bass.
Nice fishing buddy 👍👍 👍...
Great video John, thanks.
John packin heat lol
You did real good, sir.
Here in NW Ohio we have both White Bass and White Perch
The White Perch sort of look like a White Bass
BUT they are missing the black lines on most of the body
Also they have a lavender hue to some areas on them
White Bass seem to only feed on minnows
But the White Perch will also feed on worms
So in the spring a good number of people will target the white perch as they are easy to catch
Liked your video alot John some nice fish
Wow John , i just found your channel and these are the fishing videos that i love . They just make me connected to the nature and i felt peaceful. I have to say that i was pretty surprised because you are the first American without a single baitcaster hahaha. Is it a personal preference ? Anyway good fishing out there and i hope to see more of this kind of videos soon.
hey thanks, yeah i really dont use them much, i need to try them more but i like my spinning rods
@@CreekFishingAdventures nothing wrong with it , i was just curious :) . I feel more comfortable with spinning rods as well. Maybe i am dumb but with the baitcaster i can't cast well in every place that i want . Anyway , keep working on this beautiful channel , i just subscribed :).
Nice catch
you attack this river well from the get go - good to see you getting out - you know where the craw just kills? spillways - do a spillways series - go to most diverse river basins as we start to get into spring #highway 61
the crankbait cleaned house - you should get a fish painter and try the bigger southern rivers for smallmouth/musky #reprise #khz #points #stacked on structure
I just came back from Florida a n d it was 87 down there.
So crazy how different parts of the country call things differently. The shoal bass you caught everyone in New Hampshire would call a white perch. But it seems like the folks down there call the white bass a white perch. Anyway, great vid!
Amazing , Just found this channel, and had a big laugh, cause you come down from Tennessee to fish for shoal bass, and I live 30 minutes from the Flint river, But we always head to Winchester Tennessee to fish for smallmouth bass, crazy what we do just to catch little brown fish, anyway was that the Ga, Hwy 96 bridge ramp where you put in near Reynolds Ga ???
haha yeah it was, river bass are just fun no matter what species
I live very close to were he was it's tuff there sumtimes
We call that a stripped bass the first fish you caught and a wipper is a white bass stripper hybred it has broken stripes its neat how fish terms r
Love the intro💯 keep it going🎣
Nice crappie buddy!!!
My research says that white perch is related to white bass and striped bass, and is a type of bass.
Good video. Are you going out in your regular boat anytime soon?
im trying to soon
