Tried the Gulp Minnow

After reading here that it works better in cold weather, I bought a can of 1" the other day.

It sat in my truck a bit forgotten, but I grabbed it after work today.

Only have about 30 - 45 min before dark, but I headed to the spillover between the two ponds. For some reason the gills have been more active there than anywhere else lately.

Caught a gill on the trout magnet, then tried the Gulp. Started small, but got three LMB all of which were just a few feet off of shore.

Ended up with three LMB and nine gills.

Not a bad way to end the day.

Way to go, congratulations

Seems like they work pretty well

I've got some but can't remember to try them. Maybe today. Congratulations on your catch.

If you leave them on the hook they will dry up just like real minnows

Real nice way to end the day. The colors on some of those pans are very nice.

Now today learn how to hold a bass without damaging his jaw.

I just googled it and see what you are referring to. Thanks for the tip. Safe to assume the same applies to a bluegill?

RE the Gulp - I put them back in the jar when I was done so that they wouldn't dry out. I used the same technique as the TM, in fact I just replaced the TM on the jig. Under a TM float, slow retrieves with the occasional pause and twitch. Seemed like I'd get the most bites when it was just sitting out there, but it was 20 mph + winds so it was probably moving more than I realized.

first time i ever used 1 inch gulp minnows we loaded an ice chest with bluegills .
they were just deadly that day .
congrats my friend :cheers2

Love those Gulp Minnows. Nice catches!

They do work well when I have used them

That’s a good after work smile maker. Good trip.

Went for about 45 minutes yesterday, about all I sneak away these days. Three bass and six gills.

Good numbers for that short of a time
