Creek Fishing's BIG ADVENTURE!!

all right well today starting off like most efficient trips I'm gonna drive 33 minutes to a creek in Chattanooga that picked up I've been scouting there I've actually fished a little part of it before I'm going to I found a new spot where there's a bridge it looks like I can get access to in between a bunch of industrial places so we're gonna head over there and start checking it out the creek looks pretty decent and I remember being a gravel bottom and kind of wide so we're gonna get in it and wade it's a it's a muggy warm afternoon perfect for getting in the creek and waiting and hope for the Fisher on fire all right I found a good parking spot I feel comfortable leaving my vehicle here a bunch of businesses around but I'm in a parking lot and there's no one there's not like one of the car parked here so just gonna grab a bag one fishing pole and we're gonna go to hand check it out and excited to see what's gonna look like [Music] wait I don't know what that all about as soon as I walk up here found something well sure what's going on here all right so we got a bucket and a fishing pole laying in the water oh what's happening oh oh yes not a very old setup he's laying in the water I don't know if something cool to do in the water well the line was left out thrown out in the water trying to catch something they got a washer and a jig head on there let me get that out of the water and lay it up here guess what well that's the exciting parts of fishing in the middle of town you never know what you're gonna see you do oh yeah there's some sunfish already come a good one too come on Oh looking hits there we go come on hit the thing yeah oh it's a little bitty one bluegill sweet little bluegill they were hitting at it got them with a little trailer treble hook there oh do they think these fish are wearing out and their bunch of little ones I was thinking there's gonna be a lot of little small fish there's just a lot of life in here a little bitty big bluegill oh yeah what is it what do I got is a vas Oh rock bass dude that's cool I didn't know there was gonna be rock bass in here which it makes sense the good rock bass check out this old like bridge thing here what this is it's cool come through I love going through these urban creeks cuz so much history you know that gonna gets abandoned over time you know new roads are built new new ways they're built to do things these factories that have been around for hundreds of years they've changed the way they do stuff that cool that's a nice rock bass really good like roundish one there and let me show you the spinner real quick I've already caught like four fish in less than ten minutes this is a spinner that's made by guitar strings I forgot to bring the packaging with me I was gonna show it but I'll show you it later but it's a first time I've using it and he's wearing them out already man I'm watching fish just come up and nails things it's Bam Bam Bam Bam but there's a lot of life in here there's a little there's a little largemouth right there so I'm hoping that there's gonna be some little little holes where there's some nice largemouth I'm really kind of anticipating that but I'm gonna keep throwing this whole thing around for a while I'm just we're gonna hopefully catch a bunch of different fish yeah good bluegill love this thing and this little trailer hook man I've never I think I know some of you different hooks have that OOP that came off but I didn't realize how awesome it is to have that little trailer treble hook it it really picks up a lot of fish when they just nip at it so we got it one big hook and then a little trailer treble like that Joe flowers I think has that style but it's a really cool little design to lure you has got the string like like I guess there's strings there like a metal strings there and different things that's pretty cool how's that guy hook the Beluga have been the most persistent I've seen other sunfish like following but these little bluegill just keep on pecking away at it and they keep getting her cuz they're just they keep pecking pecking pecking little guys Oh hammered it oh that's something different this is cool actually let's take a look at this I'm a little bit surprised to catch this fish oh well hope you saw it it was a spotted sunfish I don't know exactly what kind of spotted some fish but it was a spotted sunfish and here in Chattanooga all these creeks feed into this Creek feeds into South Sycamore Creek which runs in to the Tennessee River below Chickamauga dam so where's that Nick Jack Lake area so it's actually a little bit hard to catch I think I think it's a little hard to catch that sunfish in here I don't know I don't catch those a lot oh the bass I see some Bosch and they still haven't had any largemouth that I've seen go for the spinner oh yeah I know every every little hole how there's gonna be some fish in there okay no doubt Oh we'll get a little bit bigger it's a bluegill oh come back yes yes I saw him flash on it and I slowed it down just a bit and he came back and got it and look look that little bitty extra hook got him because he just kind of swiped at it I figured we'd be catching redbreast I know there's a gonna Beall that's probably a lot I'm in this Creek I think that's a pretty fish right there awesome Oh green sunfish makes his first appearance but this one has a C got a gash in him I don't think I did that when I cutting we've already been knocking off a few different species here man this little spinner like already did work I've only been here 28 minutes and caught at least ten fish and saw tons of them come hammer at it I got a few of these I'll leave the information in there too because somebody sent these to me to try and I finally tried them and man it works well this Creek is starting off to really good start I'm in only been here 30 minutes and just wore out a whole bunch of sunfish like just how they walked maybe 100 yards I'm already gonna go ahead and switch to a little swim bait cuz I I want to target some of these bass and that's what I was kind of anticipating and I'm hoping it brings out some bigger some nice nice bass as we go downstream and find some these deeper holes oh wow [Music] some huge tadpoles right here you swing right into my hand I'm not gonna use it for bait but I just kind of want to though that's a big old tadpole that tail yes that's cool got it there we go oh wow what is it oh it's a nice little largemouth that's the kind of Creek bass I'm looking for a day you know obviously I'm not going for not going for Giants there's no little one right there but boom I'll take that guy that's why I switched this whim Bay they just they weren't committing to the spinner I don't know why I see that sometimes in creeks like the the bat the bigger the bass or the big bass or the you know the bigger fish they won't hit sometimes your small lures where and sometimes they will sometimes they'll hammer the little lures all right so switching to the swim bait paid off that's a it's a good little start little largemouth all right I'm about to catch fish on this cast I'm using a three-inch z-man this is the baby bass color a little uh I think it's like a 100 120 pounds jig head whoa take it take it got him yes who's guys digging Oh what is it just got mad Wow I'd say uh wait a minute instead of red oh yeah that's a red dress real fat like made of eggs in there something but the color is way different on it cool fish that is really cool oh yeah picture that one cool fish right there yeah this little Depot right here looks looks pretty good well I was singing bass up there like this size little largemouth I just weren't committing there or they follow it in a little bit so I think there's a lot of small bass in here well that's what I'm hoping anyways yeah well largemouth oh dude smacked it oh nice we are working our way up oh that is a beautiful little creek bass yeah he's a big fish out of this Creek for the size this Creek to catch something like this dude check that bass out and just look at the like curse on this guy girl whatever it is he came in and smacked it off the bank we get little winds and clouds coming up it was like a 30% chance of thunderstorms all week that's where I really wanted to get to this Creek it kind of I was thinking about it I was like let me go today case it does flood that's the only thing a bad thing about these rainstorms stuff that when they flood it just makes it hard to fish these creeks cuz I flood so fast but when the weather's right that is a awesome little fish when the weather's right the waters right you can just wear them out Oh get some rain coming in oh I did hook one okay let's see what this fish is this looks like a crossbreed oh okay well we won't look at them very long oh oh it's a light chance of rain so hopefully it's only gonna be a real quick storm because wait is it the perfect time to fish too dude a little you know pressure system coming in right for a rainstorm or something fish are gonna be fired up okay Oh along here awesome I'm kind of surprised to see that too this creeks got a lot more stuff than I was realizing it's a little bit it's pretty cool actually I didn't think we're gonna have this much diversity of fishing it without all the different sunfish ops already seen so that's that's always a pile of you know obviously something like what's a tiny little sunfish yeah but it's a new species and so it's something different and it's just fun everything's fun oh wow mouth yeah he was being tricky down there I kept working this little deep pocket here it's like there's got to be a bass in it through DAF the bank was started reeling really slow and he just picked it up after I threw it through already oh cool he's got whiskers from a crawdad sticking out of his out of his belly there this guy was eating crawdad oh oh I got you that time oh it's sunfish is that I think that's another I don't know for sure but I'm thinking that these are like mixed some of these some of these are look a little different than other ones that has a bigger mouth almost looks like a cross between a bluegill and a green sunfish or something like that but it I'm sure some of these little creeks all the sunfish in here mixed together oh oh oh what is it huh what do I have Oh fighting like mad bluegill I kind of like eating for a minute I felt peck peck peck see that's a good bluegill what is it rock bass this is this Creek I'm actually like really surprised how much different stuffs in here and that's what's awesome about finding a creek that runs through middle of Chattanooga you know obviously there's a big river that runs through here the Tennessee River and stuff and these creeks lot of times we'll have a lot of fish push way up in here lots of different stuff go we got him in his mouth that's fun that these sunfish you know you can get on these little lures you don't really think that sunfish you're gonna hit them but they can get this in their mouth pretty good you know it's not a huge bag they get in there [Music] Oh another one green sunfish now they got no problem getting about anything in their mouth yep no I ain't the big one that's a good one it Oh spotted bass dude that's cool that's really cool if I got it if I get a smallmouth down here that'd be awesome you know it's possible for sure I love spotted bass so out of the creek you know I know they're kind of invasive and they're taking over areas but man they're really fun fish to catch over creek oh yeah dude this little spot is loaded that's awesome I don't know if I'm gonna get there today but I really want to have to I'm gonna have to fish this Creek further down before it runs into a bigger Creek there's almost more like a river a little largemouth I saw that it was awesome I saw a little bass go up into this trees and then I so I threw it about and I was reeling through twitching twitch and twitching all sudden comes starting they're out and grabbed it Oh ooh doesn't good fish whoa Wow dude that was worth coming out here for the trip da is a big old redbreast his fins are like dawn of air but it's chunky Oh big strong redbreast sunfish yeah Viking fish there kid over there goodness ladies bread brisket fight oh yeah thank you this is pretty close fast oh that's a decent little spy bass I think we might be getting close to the big creek that it goes into cuz all of a sudden we went around a bin and the bottom of the creek change its like rocky now it's like a lot it's really rocky big rocks not saying like it was before I'm hope I hope we get a few more bigger bass before I go back oh oh nailed it good alright we've had a couple bigger hits here I'm gonna make one more change for today I think anyway at least least one more change alright I fished about an hour and a half 30 minutes with the spinner but I probably bought an hour with that little swim bait and now I'm switching into a little it's a three inch but a little bit bigger z-man spoon bait I'll probably cost somebody fish already I don't 25 fish probably you know I was something to show every one of them but I'm hoping to narrow I'll just go ahead and catch a few bigger ones hopefully this brings out a little bigger ones as we get a little bit further down this Creek close to where it drains into oh that was a pretty good little fish oh whoa okay there must've been fishing up in these logs I didn't see I just saw something come out of that law I was a pretty good one he turned back into it and then I didn't this one came up out there I'm looking actually right now and I see all kinds of sunfish all those little bass right there it's amazing how many fish can live in these little Creek's awesome big old turtle over there to eating the fish in here too I'm just working around really fun right in front of me and still catching fish standing right here standing right in front of these fish well we've got a little bit messed up mouth there I know it this is a long video right well stay tuned because this next half of the video is like where it really gets good this this is really fun part this is definitely a fun day overall so thanks for watching so far and you're ready to watch some really cool stuff coming up over there oh he's gone bad I think see let's see I said decent looking spotted bass not sure what he's doing he's chasing away other fish yes they could still be on beds got it John I'm going going that's a good old bass that's a pretty fish it's a spider bear too whoo check it out that's a nice little spotty bass that is just a great little Creek bass 13 inch maybe you know 12 13 units spotted bass that that's really cool and it's cool to see some bigger fish down here oh good there's a big bend right here and the waters really calm down it was flowing really good all of a sudden boom it's calm so I guess I'm probably getting really close to what it feeds into dude I see some oh there's redbreast on beds we'll try to get some video of that there's no rock bass or something over there see what's in here dude okay I think a hammer right away Oh spit it out we're getting hammer out a little fish there's gonna there's gonna be up there's gotta be something big up in here there's gotta be something there's got to be like a big fish up in here all right I'm gonna try walking through I'm gonna try to get a little video of some of these fish I think we can see into the water this first one there's a there's a bed right here and there's another one right behind it I try to get a right angle for it I'm disturbing the water a little bit oh oh oh dude those are pretty over there and there's a spotted bass with it okay I'm gonna go here and staying and then I'm gonna try to that's a nice spotted bass right there I'm trusting and we're gonna try to watch some of these fish for just a minute creak starting to look really good going down this way as far as like deeper and calmer and where some bigger fish could be who thought margin is red right this red brush runs down this way and the spyder back runs it back this way he comes back this way he comes back out it's so cool watching these fish just in their nature just standing here in front of them you know they're their own beds and your garden I'm protecting them so like that and it's just funny to see how the waters a little dingy so I don't know sure if it's gonna show up clear but I'm gonna try to do underwater video I'm gonna try walk up to him because I want to put this thing on the bay but I want to watch this redbreast I got a video of a spotted bass I already a while back oh there he is there he is right there I think we can see that one pretty fish is that his bed right there I don't know where's beds up I want to see I'm gonna watch this redbreast see what happens we'll come back to it a little bit a large another bass bid all right now it's uh red horse oh my goodness dad so big don't come off where did that guy come from nice oh man he came from around the bed just didn't I never saw him he was if I'm out of bed - that is awesome check out that that's a healthy-looking a largemouth but yeah he looks like he's got the stuff there I think they was from being on beds I don't sure man what a cool cat that thing's probably almost 2 pounds come on sit like that right there oh quit spinning around a jig no water spit them out so much it's not getting them in there good things a medium light it's not and it's only six foot long it's a little harder set hooks on these bigger fish but that is why I went with ten pound braid and I got an eight pound leader because I know somebody would have commented oh you should try ultralight fishing I like it I do ultralight fish I know I used to pound for pound line but when you're sometimes getting these bass you really need to be on set the hook a little bit better and the braid really helps out I use the shorter Pole without because I'm going through a lot of tickets but if I had a little bit longer pole it would have been a little bit easier to set the hook on some of these fish but you know when you try to make it too easy you hit it twice had to let him come back for us I'm hit it he didn't get him out he came back hit it pretty spotty bass Oh what's a big red brick there's some giant red breast in here I'm almost tempted to go back to how small a lure but I feel like they wouldn't hit small things it really just kind of want they're just not they're just kind of chasing things off the beds and so like that there's no spotty bass that came out but a red breast been at it before he could hit it see there's a lot of fish on beds in here there we go it's right in your wheelhouse get that where you guys spotted bass and that one again got it before the baby go I watch that guy I threw in there 34 times inbred breasts would peck at the Lord before this guy could get it well he's bigger than that finally I threw it back in and they had red breast left it alone he got it and when he smacked it he just just ate it look at that I'm not sure if he was on a bed or not but he was just looking to eat something look like dude I love these little guys all right well here it looks like okay it is the creek so here we are here's how we connect to this big rig but just it's almost it's more like a river at this point of this creek before it flows into the Tennessee let's go up in the mouth of it and fish a little bit [Music] well that's a little largemouth I've been learning a lot about how your recently held a different lure can really catch a different fish and even in the same spot there could be one fish point about one Laurel one fish want to buy it another lawyer so if you know there's a place where there's fish in there just keep trying different lures and you can get something to hit all right the clouds are getting dull dog earnings starting to a thunder over here so I think it's moving this way I guess it's a good time to probably get out of here I got probably a mile mile and a half of Creek I don't it wasn't that long but it did take a while this right here is what Creek fishing adventures is all about this this is what I always think of this this is what anybody could do almost anybody could do you know obviously not everybody can but you know log people can do a little fishing trip like this I got here like 3:30 it's almost 6:30 now afternoon I've done a lot of stuff when I used to work all the time that's what after work I go you know find a place fish for two three hours but a trip like this catch a ton of fish explore something new it's clear water it's right in Middletown I can't tell I can't say for everyone what you should do I'm not gonna ask me should I try here people all the time ask me how do you know you can fish this place so how do you get how do you know if you have permission or nine I don't always know I don't go places where I know it says no trespassing and I if it's a place where it looks like a creek that I can walk yeah I'm gonna give it a try you know I'm I'm willing to try some stuff like I can't stop exploring I just love it but this this was just awesome day you know I thought I would catch some sunfish and I did I didn't think I was gonna be catching like good bass it's so like that and I really didn't think I might go down to the mouth of the creek so this is just all-around really good time seeing those fish on burying those big old red breasts on bed hopefully I got some good underwater video footage of that but watch I was just sitting there watching and watching these fish you're so cool to see and see how colorful they are see how they react that that's something that I'm not real familiar with like in bed the bed bed part of them or when they you know get on beds cuz I usually never fished out early but now that I'm doing this a lot more it's I'm getting to see a lot more things for a lot more things all right well this is just some random creeks in Chattanooga I plan on finding a lot more of them I love it that I caught the diversity of fish that I caught that that's one of the best things and you know good sized basket size sunfish just all-around good day thanks so much for watching I'm gonna go back up and help let them get rained on and maybe catch a picture do check out this guy I'm just kind of was I'm like barely casting as I walked back up look good yeah well nevermind well this is interesting I came back not only is there one piece of gold now there's two person falls here thrown in the water
