Found 6lb bass in a tiny creek nobody fishes!
Last weekend I parked at this random bridge and kayaked down into a narrow creek that connects to our local lake. Most guys would drive right past this thing - it's maybe 10 feet wide and looks like nothing.
But I've learned that if the main water has big bass, they'll move up into these feeders looking for cooler water and cover. Sure enough, tucked under some exposed roots in 2 feet of water was this absolute tank!
My creek fishing secrets:
1️⃣ Pick creeks connected to big-bass lakes or rivers.
2️⃣ Watch for healthy water with baitfish, flow, or cooler temps.
3️⃣ Go light: weightless plastics, finesse jigs, or small topwaters.
4️⃣ Target cut banks, root tangles, and current seams.
It’s more work than big water, but when that lunker explodes in a shallow creek, it’s unforgettable.
