Thread: Great day gill fishing

I wore them down one time 3 years ago with those little baits . I imagine they are after fry when they eat to some degree. Tinted orange and fished deep they may resemble catfish fry ? Or maybe young crawfish ?
The fish we caught the day I used them were eating shad fry in fast water ,and we used a minnow colored version .

I love those Gulp Fish Fry, been using them for years. The black ones are one of my favorites in clear water situations. Sounds like a great time on the water.
