Gulp?

[bmc2b]

Have you guys had much success with Gulp through the ice? Pannies, walleye, pike?

[Jim Hudson]

For pan fish yes... Gulp! maggots are something I use on a regular basis when targeting 'gills and crappies... One thing I do though, is use only a half of one maggots... seems to work better.. In a tough bite though, I still opt for a regular euro larve or waxie... seals the deal a bit better on those days they seem to just stare at your offering...

And for this year, I will be trying a new product from Gulp!, a line of cut bait they produce for saltwater fisherman... They have it in a herring formula that I am excited to use for Lake Trout out here...

But for walleyes, I have tried some Gulp! with not the best of luck...

I have used Gulp a lot on open water with great success for gills and walleye's. However I haven't had much luck through the ice with the gulp products. Sometimes you just can't beat the smell and action of live bait.

I will put just a tiny piece on my lure with live bait. At times the scent helps and you never knwo when that waxie is going to fall off and the gulp is a back up

[P.DONA]

Maggots rule!!! Gulp didn't even get a sniff. Side by side comparison. BUT, That's in Ct, We're kind of snobby in this part of the country

Just kidding

Last weekend I was fishing with waxies and gulp. I fished them both separate and together, caught fish on all three setups. if anything, the gulp worked better because I didn't need to rebait as often.

The honeyworms work for the crappies...

I started using Gulp last winter. I use both the worm and maggots. The worms are a little long to use right out of the jar, but if you break off an inch of the tail section, and use that section,I think they work great on horizontal presentations, I would guess they represent blood worms to the pannies. I use the maggots alot with vertical presentations. If I happen to be dead-sticking a minnow, I slip half a maggot on the hook prior to light hooking a minnow. And when I'm using jigging spoons for walleyes with minnow heads I put half a maggot on after I hook the minnow head on... this seems to keep the minnow head on those treble hooks longer and you can bounce and rip the jig alot longer without the minnow coming off.

I bought a few jars of Gulp and was eager to try it out. I got out on the ice today, and I was on a consistent bite with real waxies, and then tried the Gulp. The fish shut off, I'm sad to say. I will keep trying Gulp to see if it was a situational thing or not.

I will be the first guy to cut down "fake bait" (grandson of a bait shop) but I was proved wrong by the sunnies on my last outing. The sunnies where up to the come from below steal on waxies. I switched to honey worms and that fooled em'. The honey worms are stronger then the real deal and my hooking percentage went way up since they couldn't rip the bait off. I also caught 6-7 fish per worm before replacing the bait.

I have been doing very well with the gulp maggots on crappie and bluegills. I even cought one walleye on a jig tipped with them. I have not done a side by side comparison, so I can't say if they are as good as the real deal, but they are a lot more durable.

i prefer the original berkeley crappie nibbles a little more, even though the gulps are a little more durable.
