  • Got out and walked a big wide creek that was at low water level. It was clear and full of smallmouth bass, but getting bites could be an issue.

    @mrenfilade7178 Před rokem +4

    6:06 this is a good backhand cast to learn for creek fishing -- smallmouth like rocky bottom shade where the bank trees are drooping over, so quite frequently you don't have the overhead area to make a basic over the shoulder cast. Skipping lures under branches, just like you would skip a lure under a dock, that works very well also. Better be ready for a fast hookset as it sinks. Three casts, 2.5 fish +1 Like

    Our creeks were looking really low for a while, but since we've been getting rain every two to three days for two weeks or so, they've been looking better. Some of the larger creeks I go to ain't even had a chance to clear up this week!

    For those of us who dont live in smallmouth country this wasnt just agreat trip it was an epic trip! Here in the helen georgia area we dont have small mouth or coosa bass nor do we have rock bass. We do have a very rare redeye subspecies shoal bass that i have seen no place else. They are very agressive but even with the almost certian strike hard to catch because they are so rare. Keep up the great work and when school starts back and you go back to catch some more of those smallies an invite would be great lol.

    @rscholma Před rokem

    Great video. My favorite type of fishing here is Arkansas. You should be able to cast further if you fill your reel spool more full of line. I buy cheap 40lb braid and fill my spool half full and the fill the rest with my 10lb or whatever braid or fluoro after that to pretty full. Comes off the spool easier and goes a bit further. Helps with hanging back and not spooking fish. Just a thought. Tight lines!

    Man, when I visited eastern Tn earlier on, I tried wade fishing and had zero luck haha... you make it look so easy. One thing that completely surprised me was how deep some of those creeks and streams really are. The water is so clear, you can see the bottom easily in 3-4ft of water... here in Texas, if you can "see bottom", the water is like 4 inches hahaha....

    Just started fishing. I enjoy your creek fishing adventures. I find it much more appealing than fishing from a boat at a river or the sea. I like hiking so doing what you do let’s me do both things I enjoy. I am learning a lot from you when it comes to where to cast and what too look for in a creek. I just started fishing and sometimes all the fish talk on other videos annoy me. Probably cause I don’t really understand what they are talking about. Most channels cater to more proficient fishermen who have been doing this for a while . Not a new by like me. Beginner videos are always how to videos but I believe the person doing the videos are not always the best teachers. But I believe that you are very appealing probably because of the way you describe what you are doing. It makes me feel like I am in the creek with you and you are talking to me. But of course you are not. You are on your own but you know what you want to communicate and do a great job at it. How tall are you?? How do you see the fish that good?? I don’t see them unless the water it’s really clear. Anyways thank you for your videos.

    @marthamitchell9452 Před rokem

    In Central Oregon we were at a popular swimming hole on the Deschutes River, put on the mask to see what was down towards the bottom and there were tons of trout swimming amongst the swimmers. They were definitely used to people thrashing around in their water. I wish I could get some of those long casts you make. If I have something light on there it kind of dies in less than 10 feet. Is it the length of the pole, the reel you use or the line that gets you so much distance? We have a muddy bottom with lots of weeds so you almost have to go weedless. I wish we didn’t have such thick ones. I was trying to wade out a bit and the weeds cover everything up and the bottom tries to suck your shoes off.😂

    I am from Charlotte, NC and spoke with you once about fishing the Charlotte greenway as I am just getting into recreational wade fishing. But wanted to ask as many times you visit NC, have you ever tried the Mitchell River for smallmouth in Surry County close to the Elkin area. When I lived in Yadkinville years ago i had coworkers that fished it and talked about the smallmouth they would catch but as I said curious if you fished any parts of the Mitchell River and what were your results. Plus it has numerous creeks around as well. Thanks for another great video and hoping to maybe see a response regarding the mitchell river. God Bless.
