Thread: More Gulp Minnow Action

I sure did! Had a similar session today at lunch, but mostly Crappies.

I just started using those, what technique are you using? I put them under a small trout magnet float, with a slow retrieve.

That should work well

I’m going to have to give these a try.

This is what I am doing for the most part. I'll sometimes just very slowly reel it in. Others times move it several feet and stop for 10 seconds or so. I often use a rocket bobber for super long casts from the bank. And I usually put the minnow on a 1/32 thin wire hook jig.

I used them years ago. They do catch fish….but I hated the mess. Am in the process of trying them on trout…..a new technique my nephew picked up out on the White River a few months back. We will be storing them in urine sample cups…they are a lot more secure than the jars they come in.

I store then in empty crappie nibble bottles. Gotta crank the lid nice and tight! Less a problem if you only pull the inner seal halfway open when new and retain.

Great idea. Like the liberty mutual ads “only use what you need!”.
