Weird bubbling in creek bed

I think I just want to feel better about going back this way later to fish. I have seen a similar post suggesting this is a result of decaying matter, as you will see in the background. It was weird because it was happening in places I wasn’t stepping, and then they started coming towards me. There is nothing in the creek bed visible. It was a little unsettling because I’ve never seen anything quite like this before. I thought for a moment that the ground was going to open up. 😂 I think this is because I had been standing there and then it released the pent up gas. As I backed up more air bubbles coming towards me. The real question now is it actually safe to be over there? If there’s that much gas coming up, it might not be a great place to stand.
