Wading small creeks for big bass

[deerhuntinghippie]

Took the kids to a few creeks that I grew up fishing as a kid and I think it's safe to say that the creeks are still very underrated. Let me know what you think.

I think the reason small creeks are underrated is because people don't usually fish with bigger baits on small creeks. We think ultra light when it comes to small creeks and small baits catch small fish.

Finding creeks to fish is like finding hunting land these days. The access I had 30 years ago is not quite the same. I'm probably partially to blame for the crawfish population decrease.

I tend to throw slightly smaller lures in creeks but I always go to my go-to lures no matter what kind of water I'm fishing.
Fluke, frog, jerkbait and big ole creature bait.

Some of the best times I've had have been in a creek that averages waist deep throwing a hula popper.

Awesome. Grew up wading creeks. My favorite kind of fishing. Anyone know of any close to Chatt that are good?

 

[Craddock1]

Don't know about close to Chattanooga but ride down any road any creek you cross has good fish. My son fished small creeks for 20 years then bought a 50,000 bass boat and forgot the creeks. He is 55 now and is back to fishing creeks.

I'd imagine the sequatchie river would be decent but I've never fished it myself.

 

[deerhuntinghippie]

I've never fished near Chattanooga but the in-laws live there. I'm planning on doing so fishing there soon.

I used to love wading the creeks and catching pan fish and bass on ultra-light tackle! Been thinking about getting back into it!

I used to wade some creeks and caught bass up to 4 lbs. It is a blast for sure. Looks like y'all had a great time. Thanks for sharing.
