I used a crawfish plastic worm on a small 1\/8 oz wacky football jig head for most of the trip. These small creek fish love to eat crawfish and it was the perfect size bait for these fish. I caught Largemouth bass, Guadalupe bass, Green Ear Sunfish, Warmouth, Bluegill, and Texas Cichlids. Fishing in these creeks can be tough because of the ultra clear water, so I went down to 8lb test fluorocarbon fishing line and light action spinning rods and reels. I also had to keep a low profile while bank fishing and be stealthy when wade fishing because of the clear water. Creek fishing can be a fun adventure, and it&#8217;s the perfect way to fish on a hot early fall day in Texas. For the underwater shots, I rigged my gopro hero 4 with the underwater housing and used a pole to film the fish.<\/p>\n<p>LATEST VID LINKS<\/p>\n<p>FISHING A NEW GRASS LAKE VLOG<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/VnnLWEv28Ek\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/VnnLWEv28Ek<\/a><\/p>\n<p>BIG LARGEMOUTH BASS CRUSHING TOPWATER SHAD<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zEDmqRURjjA\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zEDmqRURjjA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>ABOUT LFG<br \/>\nJustin Rackley, known as Lakeforkguy in the fishing world, creates fishing videos on youtube and other social platforms.
