You have amazing drive and energy John. I am in awe of your positive attitude and willingness to try to fish in any body of water you can find. You are an inspiration to folks who don’t have a boat and don’t want to deal with all the challenges involved with boat ownership. I have one that I barely use!!! Anyway, the Holy Spirit is definitely working in and through you my brother. Thank you for bringing us along on your adventures. We are practically neighbors as I live in Georgetown. 😎
I love these little stream and ditch fishing videos that you do. Reminds me of my brother and I as children finding these little streams and culverts and fishing. And we actually caught some nice fish in the most unlikely waterholes! Thank you and keep doing it 😊
Thanks for taking us along on another great adventure! Crawling thru the brush along a creek can get really sketchy here in Fla. with all the snakes and gators! Be careful John!
This video brought back many memories of fishing a creek just like this one, the underpass and the little waterfall. My brother and I spent many a day doing this very thing. Thanks for sharing this video with me!
This is 100% the way I spent my first 12 years of life. Except i was in Kentucky and Texas for most of that. Lots of creeks, Lots of Viaducts. Fun times, hollow trees and caves.
I caught my PB green sunfish last week, he fought really hard on my light rod, love creek fishing! I’ve followed your channel for a while found you through these Creek videos. Keep up the awesome work!
I thought I was the only one who would fish in the most redicoulously small sized holes where no one would even remotely consider fishing, and almost appear as a goofball from passers by, people wizzing by in their cars, people gawking at you out of a bedroom apartment window, underneath a highway overpass, getting almost tore up climbing down dangerous bolder embankments, dirt hills, etc. I did all that stuff all over Pennsylvania and Virginia in the 2,000's in my 40's. I have caught some surprising fish though, sometimes in only inches of water including a trophy sized Brown trout, a small chain Pickerel (a real rare treat for me) a HUGE Smallmouth, oodles of Blugills almost every where, a Rainbow here and there, a Speckled trout, somewhat rare? All I ever use is 6 pound test line, ALL on Rooster tail spinners. ALL on a red, white, or a yellow body, ALL with the silver blade only. Talk about a narrow variety of lures and line. Now out here in the Phoenix area waterway areas all you see are those trash fish Grass carp and they're ugly, and they get huge. Haven't fished in years. Have to drive up to the local lakes out here to catch any 'real' fish. Robert at 68.
He is the only guy i know of that will fish in places like that. Amazing. He just loves to fish no matter what size they are. Thumbs up to you little man. Youre the man. Thats a real fishermen.
Oh yes sir this is a nice dose of spring. A new old Creek Fishing Adventures spot to explore. Love those green sunfish, scrappy and aggressive perfect for ultralight fishing. Thanks for taking us along brother. Blessings John
Oh John! I sure had my smile on watching this video! And the verse was so very appropriate too! The ultimate of Creek Fishing Adventures. I loved trekking little creeks like that when I was younger myself. Thanks again for sharing Sir! God bless.
John, a lot of the creeks around me go underground because of urban development, but it is always fun to find little holes and all the various species that still live in them. Thanks for sharing!
Never ceases to amaze me. You seem to have a knack for finding the most unlikely spots to creek fish, and more often than not, you catch fish. Those were some beautiful sunfish. Very healthy and colorful. Kudos to you my friend for another entertaining video.
I got this nice creek down from my house here on Fort Cavazos (Fort Hood) just waiting for the water to calm down before I go explore all the pockets in it. Definitely can't wait. Those red breast are always a blast to catch!
I can't believe so many fish were living in that water in the median. That is amazing. It's also cool how the end of the tunnel created a miniature spillway.
Incredible the amount and species of fish living there! I spend quite a bit on maps to try and find some water around my area, found some decent spots!
You are one tough dude. There's no way I'd get in that water and walk underpass- I'd be so afraid of snakes and I thought I saw some poison ivy. Nevertheless, 👍 great video, John.
Glad i stumbled on your channel when i searched small creek fishing. I fish a little creek down the ways, but i like the idea of doing a google search for others. Thank you! New sub here.
Great stuff as always, John! This is exactly what fascinated me about your videos, because I had been doing the map search online and finding tiny creeks for years up here in PA! Several people walk by and see me with my ultralite pole and wonder why I am fishing a small drainage ditch, and then I pull up a 2-3" bluegill or creek chub and show them the answer! BTW, up in Dayton on the east side of the main highway is a similar tiny ditch that I fished two years ago that was small just like the opening of this video..Had a blast pulling tiny fish out of a few inches of water all along it while people scratched their heads looking at me! :-) Its all good, brother!
I used to fish like this every day of my youth with a cane pole & wax worms, my local "old man" bait shop sold cane poles rigged up ,bobber & all, ready to fish for $3 ,young boys are always on a never ending treasure hunt,😅, glad to know I'm not the only one
Love these videos. Other channels may do it as a challenge, but it’s nice as an every day activators. You have inspired me to follow every body of water around where I live. I have found some interesting fishing holes that I visit weekly
When I was little, we lived in Arkansas and I used to go with my Dad flyfishing for panfish. Some of the water he fished was so skinny, there was no hope of ever casting a fly...he'd position the fly on a piece of bark, or a leaf...float it downstream, then pull it off its' "raft", and work it back. I remember him catching a ton of fish, that way! Stay Safe!
Take a folding camp stool with you. They're light and it beats putting all that strain on your knees and your legs. Those closeups of fish are neat. Thanks for the video.
You've been to that place before & it is smash fest but you've got guts to go down into something that looks so snaky there's nothing worse than feeling a spider running around on you, if I were to go to something like that i would take me some cutting snips & wear snake boots!👍🎣
Back in the day (more than half a century ago) I used the county soils survey book where the various types of soils were marked out on black and white aerial photos. Find a dull, dark gray patch with one straight edge. The straight edge is the dam, the dark gray is a reservoir.
We have a lot in common. I spend a lot of my time off fishing small streams/creeks all across NW Georgia and Chattanooga. I fish on average 5 - 6 days a week. I get down into ditches, cut paths through briars, fight off spiders and snakes....but I fish a lot of creeks that haven't seen another fisherman and are literally loaded with quality sunfish and small creek bass. We kind of did things opposite of each other, I don't produce videos for the internet but I fished for a living when I was younger and eventually started practicing medicine but I'm hopefully getting close to where I can retire and possibly open a charter business inshore and offshore fishing in Florida. Working as a deckhand for the Southern California sportfishing fleet as a teenager was the best job I ever had and if I was able to make a living, I would still be doing it. Definitely enjoy the videos. We fish a lot of the same streams and I frequently recognize fishing holes and spots on some of the streams that you fish and its cool to have caught a fish in the exact same spots as someone else. I only use barbless hooks when fishing these small creeks and streams and I release 100% of what I catch back for the next fisherman to possibly enjoy in the future.
I love your videos, but I hate snakes!!! How do you avoid getting bit? I live in Louisiana and any area similar to this one would be loaded with Cottonmouths. Stay safe.
i dont even fish but theres a creek near my house and i kinda wanna just buy a rod and try it out lol thanks for these videos man. its inspiring me to do something ive never done
I just stumbled upon your channel. Speaking of which, what's the worst/most unexpected thing you've stepped on while navigating your way on foot through tunnels and swampy water? Have you ever found guns thrown into the creek by getaway guys on the freeway? Have you ever caught a fish that you'd eat?
I got a creek right behind my house, which is loaded with small panfish. Then another one about two city blocks away that holds decent catfish after a good rain. Small creeks is where I get my bait fish.
I have wondered about this type of water before, what type of fish were in there and how it got there. Also, what happens in the dry times of the year. Do they know when to move on to deeper water when the weather warms up? Thanks for taking the time to show what is in these little bodies of water.
I like the policy of not revealing names of small streams. Your ability to do those accurate little flip casts under branches is truly remarkable!
I was thinking the same thing him flicking that under, im jealous
Remotely dangerous is the term I would use .
You have amazing drive and energy John. I am in awe of your positive attitude and willingness to try to fish in any body of water you can find. You are an inspiration to folks who don’t have a boat and don’t want to deal with all the challenges involved with boat ownership. I have one that I barely use!!! Anyway, the Holy Spirit is definitely working in and through you my brother. Thank you for bringing us along on your adventures. We are practically neighbors as I live in Georgetown. 😎
Green sunfish and creek chubs are my favorite little fishes. Very underappreciated.
Now this is a real creek fishing adventure!
GET BENT! WHATEVER! LOVE YA!
I love these little stream and ditch fishing videos that you do. Reminds me of my brother and I as children finding these little streams and culverts and fishing. And we actually caught some nice fish in the most unlikely waterholes! Thank you and keep doing it 😊
I loved this video .. brought back my inner child hood
That was fun.
Adventurous as always.
Sometimes it is just that simple, find water and fish it.
Thanks for taking us along with you.
your fishing channel is goated.
Thanks for taking us along on another great adventure! Crawling thru the brush along a creek can get really sketchy here in Fla. with all the snakes and gators! Be careful John!

Great creek find! Keep posting these gems loaded with fish!!
This is 100% the way I spent my first 12 years of life. Except i was in Kentucky and Texas for most of that. Lots of creeks, Lots of Viaducts. Fun times, hollow trees and caves.
This video brings me back to my youth when a couple friends went off on an adventure catching crawfish and whatever we could get from a pole…so cool!!
The word you were looking for is Culvert sir. Awesome video
I caught my PB green sunfish last week, he fought really hard on my light rod, love creek fishing! I’ve followed your channel for a while found you through these Creek videos. Keep up the awesome work!
It is amazing just how many different types of fish and critters can be found in and around these small sreams.
I thought I was the only one who would fish in the most redicoulously small sized holes where no one would even remotely consider fishing, and almost appear as a goofball from passers by, people wizzing by in their cars, people gawking at you out of a bedroom apartment window, underneath a highway overpass, getting almost tore up climbing down dangerous bolder embankments, dirt hills, etc. I did all that stuff all over Pennsylvania and Virginia in the 2,000's in my 40's.

Your excitement is infectious.. good work!
He is the only guy i know of that will fish in places like that. Amazing. He just loves to fish no matter what size they are. Thumbs up to you little man. Youre the man. Thats a real fishermen.
Catch good flat head bait green sunfish and creek chubs
Oh yes sir this is a nice dose of spring. A new old Creek Fishing Adventures spot to explore. Love those green sunfish, scrappy and aggressive perfect for ultralight fishing. Thanks for taking us along brother. Blessings John
Loved it! Bro we got the same truck backseat just cluttered with gear 😂
Oh John! I sure had my smile on watching this video! And the verse was so very appropriate too! The ultimate of Creek Fishing Adventures. I loved trekking little creeks like that when I was younger myself. Thanks again for sharing Sir! God bless.
These types of video's are why i keep tuning in! I love when you fish these tiny little spots! ultra light fishing is the best type of fishing!
John, a lot of the creeks around me go underground because of urban development, but it is always fun to find little holes and all the various species that still live in them. Thanks for sharing!
Where do you live?
Never ceases to amaze me.
You seem to have a knack for finding the most unlikely spots to creek fish, and more often than not, you catch fish.
Those were some beautiful sunfish.
Very healthy and colorful.
Kudos to you my friend for another entertaining video.
Great video! Really enjoying the journey with you. Great content and some nice catches. Keep rockin it my friend! #CreekFishingAdventures rocks!
I love small waters, always have great lil jewels. I've caught decent catfish in such places too, along with sunfish, and trout
Great video John.
.love the Redbreast
I got this nice creek down from my house here on Fort Cavazos (Fort Hood) just waiting for the water to calm down before I go explore all the pockets in it. Definitely can't wait. Those red breast are always a blast to catch!
These are my favorite videos that you put out John, stay safe and thanks for sharing 👍
Enjoyed as always, you are very brave to walk through those creeks after seeing a snake🐟🎣🐟🎣
I've caught some massive bluegill at places like this in Oklahoma. Some were nearly a pound!
5:12 really appreciate that smooth perspective transition.
I can't believe so many fish were living in that water in the median. That is amazing. It's also cool how the end of the tunnel created a miniature spillway.
Love when you fish these roadside creeks. Love TFO rods, too.
This is the type of fishing I love. Just going on a mini adventure and having a blast.
Another Great fishing trip! Enjoyed watching. Have a Blessed day.
Fun times! I love checking out places most people wouldn't think to fish.
Love these videos getting down and dirty John, all your content is great but seeing you explore like this with success is always fun to watch!
Love the video! Love your reactions to the little critters jumping around. God Bless
Incredible the amount and species of fish living there! I spend quite a bit on maps to try and find some water around my area, found some decent spots!
This was so nice! Love the small creeks!
Bro you are ATE UP with Fishing aren't ya? Love your enthusiasm John!
You are one tough dude. There's no way I'd get in that water and walk underpass- I'd be so afraid of snakes and I thought I saw some poison ivy. Nevertheless, 👍 great video, John.
I'm always scouting on Google maps for new spots to fish lol
Glad i stumbled on your channel when i searched small creek fishing. I fish a little creek down the ways, but i like the idea of doing a google search for others. Thank you! New sub here.

Nothing like going back to your roots. Also short people Java an advantage sometimes .🎣🎣🎣🎣

Hey good verse at the end…yes sir! Mark 16:15. Do you put in google “Fishing creeks near by?”
This was a fun and adventurous video to watch.. I enjoyed it
Love these videos. Other channels may do it as a challenge, but it’s nice as an every day activators. You have inspired me to follow every body of water around where I live. I have found some interesting fishing holes that I visit weekly

My uncle put me on to google maps for finding the best overlooked fishing spots a couple of years ago… one of the best tips he ever gave me!
Hey John. Great creek fishing adventure. Amazing where you can find some beautiful sunfish.
Haven’t watched this channel in awhile. Forgot how much I love it!
of come across a giant alligator. like in the movie from the 80s.
Brings me back to looooong time ago, used to do stuff like that as a kid.
That's awesome fish live in there!!! Awesome video so far man.
Cool video. Great way to find fishing spots. I do it to find drone flying spots too.
You find amazing Fish in some of the most Gnarly places my friend I Love it.!!! Stay safe
14:13 Thats a good lookin fish. Love catching sunfish.
Those places could be Snake on some time.
this is real ultralight fishing right here. BANGER
Amazing John. You always entertain me.
Fun times! Really enjoy the roadside creeks.
Take a folding camp stool with you. They're light and it beats putting all that strain on your knees and your legs. Those closeups of fish are neat. Thanks for the video.
What kind of drone are you using for shots
That's some desperation fishing right there Jon ! I've walked down some holes JUST like that 😂
You are crazy, brother. There’s no way in the world, I’d be crawling around down there. I love watching you do it, though😂
You've been to that place before & it is smash fest but you've got guts to go down into something that looks so snaky there's nothing worse than feeling a spider running around on you, if I were to go to something like that i would take me some cutting snips & wear snake boots!👍🎣

Rainstorm moves through. John: "I'ma fish that puddle." Catches a green sunfish.
yeah!.. your comment made me laugh..😊
Recorded horizontally:)
Dude to hell with Google maps fishing we fish creeks for bait for the big ole cats period
This is how me n my dad used to find fishing holes.
Just for a moment when you were bushwhacking I had a little flashback and could smell the brush. LOL
John, I try to look for creeks and places to fish. Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work and God Bless. Tim L.
how i wish u can catch salmon there..
Google maps searching for fishing spots is one of my nightly routines. Then I go up to them and walk the banks.
i dont even fish but theres a creek near my house and i kinda wanna just buy a rod and try it out lol thanks for these videos man. its inspiring me to do something ive never done
I just stumbled upon your channel. Speaking of which, what's the worst/most unexpected thing you've stepped on while navigating your way on foot through tunnels and swampy water? Have you ever found guns thrown into the creek by getaway guys on the freeway? Have you ever caught a fish that you'd eat?
nothing crazy has happened, just seeing homeless camps and all kinds of stuff in creek
I got a creek right behind my house, which is loaded with small panfish. Then another one about two city blocks away that holds decent catfish after a good rain. Small creeks is where I get my bait fish.
That's awesome, well done.
That is called a box culvert, John! Great vid!!!!
You'd never catch me dead in there without a pair of snake boots, hahaha
LOL I feel sure you're on I-75 and the passers by are really enjoying seeing someone out fishing in the median. 😄
This was fun to watch.
Quite the small adventure!
When I was a kid, my brother and I would fish streams like this and catch lots of little bream and bluegills!
That isn't a roadside Creek, that's a Ditch with Fish in it.
Nice return to your roots.
Great creek fishing
Love this video
I have wondered about this type of water before, what type of fish were in there and how it got there. Also, what happens in the dry times of the year. Do they know when to move on to deeper water when the weather warms up?
Thanks for taking the time to show what is in these little bodies of water.
i think if it really goes into a drought some of these fish will die but as soon as it rains there is new little ones that will swim in there
