Theres something to being a kid again and just going out for the fun of fishing & exploring rather than going for "the BIG one" ! You got me into the UL scene, John, and been using for for bridge fishing little creeks in my area. Keeps this 66 year old feeling like a kid again! :-) Thanks for all your great influence, John!
This is the best channel I have subscribed to. Big fish are nice but a small fish can feel bigger with lite gear! lol Thanks for sharing the adventures and encouraging mine!
As a backwoods New Englander fisherman here’s a little advice, when walking thru woods with a fishing pole always have the tip of your rod trailing behind you and hold it at a level position. This way the rod won’t get hung up on a branch or worst breaking the tip off. Thanks for the video and keep a tight line.
This was a "Way Back Machine" vid for those of us who spent out youth with minimal, often primitive, gear and collected grasshoppers on the way to the creek. To this day, panfishing is more fun than all the riggamarole of rigging up a bass boat, towing $$$ and riding the jet ski, houseboat and pontoon wakes. Well done. Don
Mr. John...🐟 I had to stop in the middle of the video right after you said you had forceps you can't find! I wrote you several weeks ago with an idea that I always had with me when I fished. Black thin cord from an ice fishing tip up and a small hemostat and a nail clipper... easy to put together! Wear it around your neck whenever you're fishing. Hang it from your rear-view mirror so you see it all the time... I don't think it'll be an obstruction because it's longer... Now back to your video...😊 Deb Gardetto "The Barber" from Watertown, Wisconsin
We have creeks just like this all over the place and the same results with small bluegill chomping at anything that takes a pass or 3. Lots of fun and the kids love it.
As much as I love going for that big smallmouth, I always find myself back in the headwaters of my favorite creeks with an ultralight, going for panfish and little smallies. The clear, rocky streams of middle TN are my favorite! Enjoyed the video, thank you for the continuously improving content!
Great video brother, love the ultralight fishing/creek exploring ones. Noticing the bugs bite is definitely heating up in the dog days of summer. Its hard to beat the fun of catching little panfish on ultralight gear and 4# line. Straight away one of my favorites. Blessings John
just started watching you and love your creek fishing videos. i live in the middle region in Indiana and have creeks like this all around. love this kind of fishing :)
This is the best thing to do in the summer in the south. It's so dang hot and crowded on the lakes and rivers. My favorite thing to do this time of year is walk a cool shadey creek.
I agree with you on the flooding and big fish finding a new deep hole. I experience that in creek fishing all the time too. Just got to keep finding the holes. Green sunfish are always fat it seems like. I love catching a red breasted sunfish they are so pretty
Good video ! I just recently got myself a UL setup (cheaper quality,but still lots of fun), have only gotten to try it out once. Nice warmouth ! As for the mosquitos, I have to have some DEET spray before even going out. Now I've got to try the ol' creekhopper next outing ! Always be safe. Pap Blevins
Great video! Seeing you struggle with footing at the end reminded me that some of those sandy creeks have air pockets in the sand and will sink you, I found out the hard way earlier this month filming my small Creek fishing video, I had planned on wading this particular creek but that idea quickly changed after I hit a spot and sunk to my waist in sand and probably would’ve sunk more if I hadn’t found a patch of hard ground in front of me to help pull me out. Luckily the water was ankle deep there, but I had to clean my reel afterwards because I shoved it into the sand trying to get free. Could’ve been ugly.
This is my kind of fishing. All to myself. Great video as always John. Thinking about moving up your way. Too dang hot in Mississippi. No creeks to get into around here. Originally fro NE TN so I’d be close to my mountains too
Ultralight creek fishing is by far my favorite type of fishing. The Crickhopper has been tearing it up for me lately in the creeks. I just got back from vacation and we stayed on a really small lake in eastern Tennessee the trout magnets were killing it. I don’t think that lake gets fished very much the bluegill were monsters and aggressive. The bass seemed to want craws. I caught a few on Texas rigged craws and a few on jigs with a craw trailer.
i hadnt fished in 10 years, went to my local walmart , bought a cheap spinrod combo, some small hooks, splitshot, and a few bobbers and a box of live worms. I had a blast at the creek down below my apt . Ive caught a ton of bluegills and a small channel cat a few days ago
UL fishing is my favorite, I live in a town that's a big fishing spot that has one big main river going through it and several brooks/streams. I literally just go out walking around town with my rod and backpack tacklebox and look for nice quiet spots to fish
A lot of the areas here have mud bottoms like that creek. It makes wading a bit difficult. If your shoes don’t come off you tip over trying to lift your feet.
Catch some bass maybe a sunfish or creek chub. Then out of nowhere you get a muskrat, turtle or 10lb carp off a worm. My 6lb line hated that and im not unhooking a muskrat idc its not worth getting a bite i cut the line. he can take hook out if he wants because he didn't want my help. Turtles are way easier to unhook then mink or muskrat.
I quit fishing anything other than ultralight. I have a Shakespeare Durango 2UL and a Cast King reel and catch anything I want. Have caught everything from Bluegill, Coosa Bass to 5.5 lb Spots and 7lb Largemouth on it. A 2 lb spot is amazing. I throw Yum Fingers no weight Texas and Wacky rigged. 4lb test.
@mashukyreilight I put a very small smallmouth in a fish tank I had then along with my aquarium fish. NOT A GOOD IDEA! He tore my tank to pieces chasing the other fish! They were jumping out of the tank, he was knocking over all the fish tank things. He knocked the aerator over! He got flushed, sorry to say...they are incredibly aggressive 😳
These hot temps I have snagged unintentionally a few little guys and I feel so bad, sometimes in the eye... anyway, I think the Hot temps have big guys hiding and resting and small fish aggressive.
I am thinking about getting a better kayak for the channels and lakes in Florida. I don’t want to spend a bunch of money. I am wondering because I see you fish a lot of little rivers and stuff. I was looking at the BKC PK11 it is shorter and a little wider. Any suggestions or would I be better with something else? I have seen you trying out some different types of Kayaks. Let me know.
I’ve been wading through mucky stuff like that since the 60’s and I still don’t like it. I always enjoy hearing all bugs and birds in the background, really nice audio.
$3.459/gal is EXPENSIVE?! Get out of town! Here on the West Coast, our gas is a lot more valuable than that! Regular is at $4.69 out here. Every mile counts.

yeah ive tried that but always go back to pointing it where i want to go
Whew.... I think I picked up 3 ticks just watching you walk through those weeds and woods....
I’m always amazed at your casting accuracy. You flip those lures and jigs in the tiniest holes with ease.
Bro, I thought it was just me. I am good at casting but John makes me look like a 5 year old lol.
Practice makes perfect, I guess. He's posting multiple videos every week, he should be good by now!
Word. It's why he catches so many fish.
He’s turned into such a self satisfied tool since he quit working for a living
You get really accurate with a spinning reel after a lot of use. I’ve been using for a few years, I’m decently accurate but I can fluke a little bit
I bet John can hit three-pointers like mad when he plays. His touch on casts is magical.
just bought a UL set up because of you. The collection is blossoming quick. My favourite thing to throw so far has been a 3' wacky rig. Cheers John!!
Ultralight fishing is the BEST! My main thing is chasing big cats, but there’s just something so satisfying about a super light setup. ✌️🎣
This was a "Way Back Machine" vid for those of us who spent out youth with minimal, often primitive, gear and collected grasshoppers on the way to the creek.

Love the ultra light. I use it for about everything anymore. Wading the crick brings back so Many good memories. Great video, John.
Its good to see you small creek wading! I like the kayak videos, but it's also good to see a return to the roots of your videos.
Amazing how much more fun a moderate UL rod on light line can be when you are creek fishing!
YES, these are the best type of videos. Classic ultralight creek fishing
Nice to see you back in a little creek again! Glad you still do this now and then.
Mr. John...🐟

Glad you took us along, I need to get one of those rods, nice!👍🎣

Your anti-snake flip flops are fantastic and 100% effective.
worked great so far

That looked like a lot of fun catching those fish.Thanks for the video 🙏
Ultra light fishing nice! Great video
Agora está a cara do Brasil. Para chegar a um riacho tem que atravessar matas fechadas. 😂
I love watching your videos. Your fishing is always fun “to join in”.
Epic warmouth catch from under that bridge 🌉 Jon!!! Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee
Great vid! I like the back to basic creek fishing stuff the most!
God bless you John and your channel my dude! Your vids definitely inspire me!👍💯🎣✝
I love these videos, and the multi species you find
Nice rod John. Thank you for sharing. God bless you and you family and friends...🙏❤🙏❤🙏

it can be dangerous

You are fun to watch and commentary is entertaining. You sure can cast accurately
I like your videos and your casting skills. Keep it up. Thanks
Yes! The annual crickhopper video!

Heck yeah what a creek.
I had to hit the like button just for your sacrificing yourself in that mud. fun video.

nice
I have same rod, I really like the fast tip for jig head fishing
UL fishing is my favorite, I live in a town that's a big fishing spot that has one big main river going through it and several brooks/streams. I literally just go out walking around town with my rod and backpack tacklebox and look for nice quiet spots to fish
nice
Don’t comment often but really enjoy your videos john
I love your vidio bro, for ultralight fishing technique
Cool little rod
Great video bro. Love ultra light fishing. Gas is cheap were you live!!!!
usually is about the lowest in the country
This makes me want to get a UL setup and do this around my area. I don't want to deal with the mosquitos though. 😂
Congrats on getting to 143K Subs!
Thanks!
Personally, I enjoy creek/ small stream fishing more than anything else. It’s fun to explore.
18:05 My local creeks are mostly muddy. No Crocs or slip-on's for me. Gotta lace shoes tight lest they disappear in the muck 😂
Hey John! I just bought my new favorite lure, the z popper. It's 1.75 inches and it catches fish. You should check it out.
A lot of the areas here have mud bottoms like that creek. It makes wading a bit difficult. If your shoes don’t come off you tip over trying to lift your feet.
I agree about his casting skills. Practice (doing it) makes perfect, right?
Bro, over 5.00 in Cali! I miss my home in indiana!
Sometime show us how to identify the various species of sunfishes. Thanks for video.
You should get a pair of boot-foot waders. You can get a quality pair for less than $200. It'll be safer and more comfortable for you. Great videos.
too hot, id rather worry about losing shoes than wear waders
John, just downsized to a Ford Maverick Tremor package. 27 MPG highway. Double what my old F250 V10 got. Makes traveling to fish a lot less painful.
dude thats pretty good
getting Biden out of office will help with that as well!
Thanks for showing your fishing. I used to do this but my health and balance won’t allow it anymore.
I have the same exact setup with 4 pound mono but my lews is 5’6
Have you ever considered getting a fly rod for spots like this? Those little ones would probably go nuts
Mantap bro
Catch some bass maybe a sunfish or creek chub. Then out of nowhere you get a muskrat, turtle or 10lb carp off a worm. My 6lb line hated that and im not unhooking a muskrat idc its not worth getting a bite i cut the line. he can take hook out if he wants because he didn't want my help. Turtles are way easier to unhook then mink or muskrat.
If you carry your rod back words (butt first) you'll rarely get snagged or run the risk of breaking the rod tip.
sometimes it helps, i usually dont have trouble carrying it forwards
I quit fishing anything other than ultralight. I have a Shakespeare Durango 2UL and a Cast King reel and catch anything I want. Have caught everything from Bluegill, Coosa Bass to 5.5 lb Spots and 7lb Largemouth on it. A 2 lb spot is amazing. I throw Yum Fingers no weight Texas and Wacky rigged. 4lb test.
nice redear!
Tick city on the way to the fishing hole. Check yourself for ticks and be safe!
It’s that time to start tossing the crickhopper!
yes sir
I know you're wearing some deet LoL!
You gotta be in Missouri, Kentucky, maybe Arkansas? That looks like home.
tennessee
👍🏻👍🏻
Watching you make your way to these spots I wonder how you are dealing with ticks?
usually not too bad, also if i walk in the water it helps
❤
Not creek chub! BASS BAIT !! LOL 😆
Fish tank pet
@mashukyreilight I don't do " fish tank" but I do live bait fishing!!
@@heavenbound358 that works 2
@mashukyreilight I put a very small smallmouth in a fish tank I had then along with my aquarium fish. NOT A GOOD IDEA! He tore my tank to pieces chasing the other fish! They were jumping out of the tank, he was knocking over all the fish tank things. He knocked the aerator over! He got flushed, sorry to say...they are incredibly aggressive 😳
@@heavenbound358 very true I caught a 3lb bass once he was living in a 75 gallon hard plastic taot I put a mesh top over it so he wouldn't get out
These hot temps I have snagged unintentionally a few little guys and I feel so bad, sometimes in the eye... anyway, I think the Hot temps have big guys hiding and resting and small fish aggressive.
I would be also looking for arrow heads.
New sub here🎉
Have you tried the Trout Magnet small crawfish lure on these creeks? Just curious.
Yes I have and its really good also
What is this “orange” lure your using? Looks like it works really well.

what are you wading in?

i have a BKC RA220 and it is very stable and comfortable, the old town 120 or 106 are great also
First comment start blowing it up
Oh I’m early 🎣
Where are the 28 inch "wild" brown trout that "Chasing The Wild with Dusty Rhoads" always catches in streams smaller than this one? 😂🤣😂
You need to do a vidoe of catching longeared sunfish I don't think I have seen you catch one
not a lot around me, a couple hours from me the creeks are loaded with them
I’ve been wading through mucky stuff like that since the 60’s and I still don’t like it. I always enjoy hearing all bugs and birds in the background, really nice audio.
What kind of socks do you wear with your wading boots?
just cotton socks this time
$3.35 a gallon? I wish I had it that good. Try $4.70 in Central California
Do you fish 4 stAte area
