Gulp! Shiners

[Muskie4L]

WalleyPro,

You said you were going out fishing to give them a try...

So how did you do?

Wally can't speak very well anymore

I hate when that happens

Back on topic.....

Me and Hook&Shoot will be using them tonight....
Hopefully a good report will follow!

As Out4Trout rightfully mentioned, I like the fake bait mainly for their convenience, they are there easily accessible all the time, no need to travel miles, no need to store in advance, but as Wally , I haven't had , any success with them. never a single bite, so I'm sure, I'm not doing it right.
I'm just curious if someone can share how would you rig /retrieve them for different species , pike/bass/walleye ?

James,
Good luck to you and send us a report, also please drop us what would be a recommended way to rig them.

Good weekend everyone

Fish4ever,

I rig them similar to how you rig a live minnow through the mouth.
Its also all about presentation and how the fish are feeding.

I'd suggest doing some medium paced retrieves with light jerks to add eratic action.

If that doesn't work let em sink to bottom and jerk them and finesse them.

There is NO magic bait. Gulp, Yum etc....
The technique and what the fish are doing is.

If you catch one fish doing one technique chances are others will follow suit.

But like anything else its called fishing not catching right????

X2 that...

As for rigging to the hook - I generally do mine like the image below... sometimes with a weighted hook, sometimes without...
I usually tuck the tip into the bait...

GULP Shiners....

For walleyes I like to vertical jig the stuff and don't cast it too often. Usually try a few different techniques to pin point a general location the fish are holding too and them pop the jig with GULP down and work'em to try and entice a bite. If doing any sort of casting to structure and submerged structure, weeds and/or weedlines I will rip a bucktail jig or twistertail. I find vertical jigging the stuff to be wise when you know the walleyes are under the boat. Working it all depends on the conditions and what the fish want on that day. This weekend was slower than usual and I would jig the bait three or four times and drop it to the bottom, waiting 10 seconds and so on before repeating the technique. Fish were biting on the pause...Another thing I have noticed is that the fish will hang on to this stuff. Like livebait, you can give the fish three seconds before sending the hooks home and you don't miss many.

Rigging GULP Shiners are pretty straight forward for what I was doing this weekend...This is how I have been fishing it this spring. On a jig head tied directly to your main line.


Bass is a whole new game, I prefer to drop-shot GULP Shiners for smallies and sometimes largies too.

Now the last few exchanges here in this thread is what FISH-HAWK used to be all about boy'z...not the bull crap that seems to have invaded and come up far to often now.

If you don't want to talk fishing constructively and have some fun...hit the road and don't come back.

Anglers helping anglers...not venting here because they hate their job, the wife said NO, or they didn't get bit last outing, or feeling they were wronged for didily squat...ya da ya da ya da

Have a great summer...

BIG JIM~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~out'
