I meant to say something about using worms because I do use them often. I feel like the crickhopper gets a lot of attention and reaction when it hits the water and its easy to use in any water condtion
Love these vids , the creeks I fish in Georgia are exactly like yours , I went to one behind my church yesterday and caught a lot of redbreast sunfish and a nice largemouth , going back this afternoon when it cools down and I'm gonna go to Walmart and buy some more crickhoppers
Sounds good. I have been using trout magnets recently. They are very light weight and hard to cast but I've caught a bunch of fish on them. It's fun to catch multiple species with the same lure.
If you are having trouble casting them, try a really ultralight fiberglass rod. I have recently been using the Eagle Claw featherlite series 5"6". The only caveat is that they don't have much backbone. I also have a 35-year-old 5' UL Ugly Stik that I bought when I was 14 and it can get those 1/64ths out a bit. Tight lines and keep on posting the good stuff. I wish we had those beautiful Coosa bass around here, but I still love our smallies!
I fish like this as well, but I have switched to 2lb test mono, trout(panfish) magnets and the $5 dollar crappie tube kit from Wally World because they are cheaper to lose and pick up even micro fish that the crickhopper and wee craw miss. Fish on.
Stephen Stalter thanks for the info i might start using 2 lb line. I have never used the trout magnets but see several people using them. I'll check those out
Enjoyed the video. Crickhopper is one of my favorite lures of all time. I have tried the Arkie and Bass Pro versions but nothing beats the original Rebel. I wonder how many trees I have left Crickhoppers hanging in over the years though .....
thanks and it is definitely a challenge to not lose a lure or two every time I go to a creek like that in the woods. I have used the Arkie crickhopper and caught fish with it but didn't know there was a bass pro version.
I have a 5' Ugly Stik that is my go to little creek rod. I bought it in 1998 when I got out of the Army.
Great video!
That was a weird looking redbreast sunfish...nice video buddy
I fish similar to you. The only difference is that I use worms and a variety of crappie jigs. Keep it up CFA.

You should try to micro fish
I micro fish so I use a cheap tenkara rod to fish
I would rather fish a small creek than a lake a creek is easier to fish from the shore and fishing a creek allows you to wade up or down it
yah and I like moving around
