Gulp 1" minnows and Fish Fry
I tried these baits again today and got fish. Crappies seemed to like the minnow baits, but sunfish wouldn't touch one. The sunnies did smack a fish fry though.
Thru the ice I was doing ok with these products, but then when we first got open water the fish seemed uninterested in them and preferred a plain plastic. Now that the water is at 50 in most of the lake at the surface they seem to like it again.
I like fishing the Gulp products but I don't like the lulls that the fish seem to bask in when using it. I don't know if its a temperature thing or if there is more natural food at a certain water temp and they don't feel compelled to hit the gulp.
