I am used to fishing around POC with live baits. The new GULP artificials intrique me and I would like to try them on trout next time. I usually fish using an inline shaker with the live. My question is will this still work in the same manner and how would I hook the GULPs. I bought the new penny 4" shrimp and the b/s mullets. I noticed earlier someone stated thread the shrimp as dead but i was thinking on the shrimp hooking under the "horn" as live and threading the mullet as a freshwater worm. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Cool site! I'm new here!

I just got back from POC yesterday. I used the Gulp shrimp tails on jig heads. I fished a pier using the 1/8oz heads and hooking the shrimptails as you would on any jig. Cast it out and reel it in fairly slow. I caught numerous trout, some whiting, a croaker, and I even got several large hardheads with the bait. I also hooked a large drum with it and lost it to a broken line.

We then went offshore and I used it at the first rigs. I put on a heavier 1/2oz jig head and caught several nice fish. I caught some grouper, some snapper, numerous triggerfish, and some hard tails.

I normally fish the Galveston bay system. And, there I use it the same way and catch a lot of trout and reds with them. I like the 3 inch size the best, with the 1/8oz jig head and new penny in color. There I've also had good luck using a 1/16oz jig under a popping cork. I love GULP!

Wow that's awesome - I fish Gulp in freshwater and I haven't been much impressed, so I am glad to hear that at least the saltwater version appears to be producing up to their claims of fish-catching ability. Probably pick some up next time I go down.

used gulp leeches this summer in minnesota. they catch fish just fine.

Got back from POC a couple of weeks ago. I could not believe the amount of strikes I recieved on the gulp. We caught reds, trout, gafftop, and even a couple of shark on it. I love it!

What type of gulp bait were you using that worked so well?

We were using the 3" and 4" Shrimp. Colors were the new penny, white, and molting. Haven't tried the crab or any others yet.

The Little Crabs work good!
