Best and most informative creek fishing show on the tube. Keep it up. 👍🏻
I really appreciate it Ben! I hope it helps you. When it gets warmer...we will be Pros!! Thanks for stopping by, and be safe out there. Keep me posted how things go.
Awesome tips!!
You being a very experienced angler, I'm sure this is just Ned 101! Spring is coming fast! I hope all is well Houston.
@ yeah I teach a class called Skunked 101… pretty much an expert
I just snorted out loud! I know you are fibbing! Thank you for the laugh! Looks like we are about to get a bunch of rain to push through TN, but some warmer temps to boot!! That should help spark some bites.
A lightweight Carolina rig with circle hooks and powerbait or semi floating lures is super deadly working with the currant in low flow areas. Try it out!
I will definitely give that a try! Thank you for the suggestions. Much appreciated.
Master class per usual, it's slow as you know what here in NW AL creeks, but the prize is still attainable if willing to go long stretches without a bite. Appreciate the info....
How's it going Dennis? I hope all is well. Did you all get surface ice last week with the cold snap that pushed through?
@fishsmack , thanks for the return message, no ice on creek, but totally at our lake lot that is close to creek ...
Glad to talk to you Dennis. I'm learning from your experiences as well. We had ice in our creeks last week, and when that happens...it's definitely a shock to our fish, since it's a little abnormal for that to occur here. Our creeks have partially frozen twice so far this year.
Nice to see another angler who actually knows how to fish a Ned rig. Very good job informing people about how to fish the Ned properly. This bait can be deadly when used right.
Thank you brother! We can get off in the weeds on this topic, and I'm still learning little nuances to the Ned. I hope you have a great weekend. We are blown out with rain in TN right now. Be safe my friend.
Great tutorial on the the old deadly nedly
Thank you Mr. Mike! Did your area get affected much by the floods?
@@fishsmack from Helene last year?
Yes.
@@fishsmack yes, Nolichucky, pigeon and French broad were trashed pretty bad. Pretty much scoured of anything green or alive. Lots of place where campgrounds or put ins were, are gone. Land is gone that they sat on. It’s nothing but river bed, river rock.
I hate to hear that.
Truly an inspiration to the fishing community! Great information as always presented in a way that is anything but the boring, instruction-like droning of others trying to teach. Every post makes me more proud of the fact that I have actually fished with you and had the experience of a lifetime. Keep the content coming Trey! Godspeed and tightlines my friend.
I am honored to have had a chance to share the water with you, but that does not need to be a one time occurrence. We need to go chase some smallies this year! Thank you for the kind words as always Mr. Tony. I hope all is well.
Awesome buddy! I love fishing the chunky sections hahaha
Thank you Mr. Alex. I was nice to catch up with you yesterday. I hope you have a great week.
Trey with the tips 💪🏻
Appreciate you! 🎣
You are most welcome GFF, and I appreciate you....but I know you are the "REEL" pro! I hope all is well. Have a great week and be safe out there.
This video is a must-see for anyone just getting into creek fishing, and for experienced anglers as well! Great explanation of things like why ned rig weight is important and where fish hold in the winter and why. If I could add, I use the lightest ned rig jig head I can get away with because of the slower fall rate. I hadn't thought of it from your perspective before, but it makes total sense. Keep up the good work with these videos, and I hope to see you on the water some day!
You are spot on about the fall rate. That is another really important factor that I forgot to mention....and it's a BIG factor not to over look. Did I ask what your name is last time? I like to try and keep up with names as much as I can. Thanks again for stopping by. I greatly appreciate the comment and your time! Have a great week.
I also have 1/80 oz ned rig jig
Dang! How does that cast? That's micro light!!
Well, you’ve given me the incentive to try the Ned rig AGAIN. I catch a lot of river/creek fish on wacky rigged stick baits and finesse jig/craw baits but gave up on the Ned presentation a few years ago. Thanks for sharing.
Morning David! Were you using the EWG version or were you fishing it with the exposed hook? Thank you for stopping by. I hope you have a great weekend.
Tons of useful information Trey really like this more informative format the offset ewg ned head is usually my primary choice. Great upload Trey
Thank you Mr. Chris. I'm hoping everybody likes this format a little better. Looks like we have a lot a rain over the next few days, but we have some warms temp coming.
@fishsmack yes sir...
Great video, my friend.
Thank you Mr. John! It's about time to start looking for some antler sheds! I hope you are doing well.
Yes sir very great advice that river water must be very cold what are you using to keep your lower body warm out there? It’s absolutely gorgeous scenery what an amazing place to fish and enjoy your day on the river. Tight lines take care and God bless!
Morning buddy! I wear thermal underwear and wool socks under my waders and on really cold days I will also wear fleece pants. My legs generally stay warm since I'm walking, but if I sit too long in the water, my feet will start to get cold. I hope all is well. Have a great weekend and be safe.
Slowing down but I'm persistent
I always appreciate seeing you stop by Mr. Patrick! How are you doing buddy?
You ever use micro trd zman in pbandj? It's awesome dude. My new favorite on 1/16 zman ned head. I also like the Nikko Hellgrammite. It's money dude.
What's up Michael! I hope you are doing well. I have not picked up a pack of them yet, but they are on my list. I really like that micro line of baits...even the mayfly. Two winters ago, I fished a magma and a purple Nikko hellgrammite the entire winter. I caught around 175 smallies with just those 2 baits, and I finally lost one of them around March when a smallie snapped me off.
