Berkly gulp on ice

[Boar]

What are you views on gulp for walleys thru ice, anyone have great results not so great results, kinda, nothing. boar

What kind? The twisters and worms are probably too big and aggressive and require you to be trolling or reeling for them to be properly worked.

If you want to use plastics on hardwater, the Finesse Plastic tails are very effective.

I was trying the waxies one time for Crappie and pulled up a nice Walleye. But other than that, never had much luck.

I use frozen minnows on my buck shot jigs. So I tear a tiny piece of gulp off and use it to help keep my minnow head from slipping off. Not sure if it helps the fish bite or not.

They'll work. I've had to use the most fresh bags/jars I've got since they seem a little softer then and move a little more. I've also picked up the occasional walleye with a crappie jig and a Gulp! waxie when I'll see them swimming around the bottom under the crappies I'm fishing.

I tip jigging spoons and jigging raps with gulp if the fish are aggresive --- but if the bait needs to be sitting for them to hit it then I usually do better tipping with a minnow head.

It's tough to beat live bait through the ice for walleyes. If they are fairly aggressive, I've found that the berkley gulp alive minnow heads can be productive when they are paired with a jigging spoon. Now on the other hand, gulp for panfish...

I see that they now have Gulp Alive minnow heads for ice fishing. They also have 1" minnows this year. I heard Gillespie talking about the minnow heads last year but he must have had the inside track to testing them out last winter, but they're here this year for everyone. Might be worth a try.

[Drewski]

The minnow heads are definitely worth a shot. They were the only artificial I could get a walleye to smack.

I was able to try some of the 1" minnows last year right at last ice on panfish and they were awesome. I picked up 4 jars for this year. Another thing to try is the 1" gulp alive fish fry. Those work great too.

[LMITOUT]

Where did you find them?

[blackdog1101]

I've had very good luck with white Gulp Alive waxies. Interested to try the 1" minnows.

[Drewski]

Where did you find them?

Little Jim's in Annandale. The owner is a berkley rep.

Thanks

The gulp 2.5" and 3" minnows have worked very well for me with walleyes, crappies and pike thumping them. The 2" power minnows have also worked well for me.

I was lucky to know someone at Berkly and got to test & try the fry two winters ago....DEADLY for perch.
