Being in Iowa, I don't get to fish the salt or brackish water very often. But I do use the Gulp freshwater baits for bass and crappie. I like them and use them quite a bit. The one downside to the Gulp baits is the packaging. The ziploc style pouches and the plastic container with the screw on lid are prone to leakage of that "yum yum sauce." That stuff will make a stinky mess of tackle box or anything else it gets on. The solution is a better container. I have two of the Plano Liqua Bait Lockers that I use for Gulp baits. The Plano Liqua Bait Lockers are much better at keeping the yum yum sauce on the baits and off everything else in the tackle box. They're not foolproof, but much better than Berkley's packaging.
I use a double fluke rig spaced about 4inches from baits head to tail with Gulp flukes… kills it every time, even fresh water… Something about the two flukes darting around just drives fish to hit, I’ve even had fish hit the second fluke while one is hooked… the only hard part is getting it dialed in at the right depth
If you used a double fluke rig in a lake with spotted bass you'd definitely catch doubles a lot. I've only caught 2 and both had fish trying to take the bait from their mouths. Another bait in that area would have been eaten immediately. I fish in the Chesapeake Bay now and I use a double rig occasionally. It works for sure. It was good when I was growing up in Florida too.
@Saltyscales I know the feeling. My neighborhood is now just about dried up, having 3-5 inches of water. I'm doing good other than that! I'm glad to know yall weren't hit as bad as it seemed.
Great video Captain Taylor. I fish freshwater and Berkley Gulp is unbelievable. They catch everything. I buy 1 inch minnows in a glass jar to catch my bait for Catfish. I haven’t bought Live bait for a couple years now
Glad you hear you guys made it through the storms safe. I will say my experience with gulp is it works just as well in freshwater. It is a go to for me In rivers and lakes here in Colorado.
I fish in the Chesapeake Bay now and I use lots of Gulp. The 4" swimming mullet and 3" shrimp are killers. The flukes have caught me some fish too. I caught a couple nice flounder on the 5" swimming mullet over the summer. The 5" catches less baby flounder but it's still a magnet for tail biters like croakers and pinfish. Puffers chew up Gulp too. And bluefish, ribbon fish, and a lot more. So I have to switch to Z Man or Salt Strong soft plastics often because Gulp is too expensive in the warmer months. Now the tail biters are mostly gone and Gulp shrimp or swimming mullet or flukes are all catching fish.
Although I use Gulp shrimp pretty often when sight casting for reds, I was going to argue that it couldn't touch a belly or tail hooked whitebait, pinfish, or mullet with their tails cut off pinned to the bottom with a big split shot up against the mangroves. The ability to cover a lot of water with the Gulp though is a strong argument.
🌴hey josh , I’ve never tried using gulp baits just because they were pricey, but I might have to give ‘em a shot , if I knew of someone that had a charter service that could get Gulp as a sponsor and got freebies and handed some out to his peeps well 🤪. already voted ! I’m hoping team red gets elected, and yea things may get a bit ahhh crazy, sure would of like to have put a Kamala sticker on the back of Chris’s truck just to see how fast he could run 👈🏼😁👍🏼. Tight lines bro.

Vote for the person who isn't threatening American citizens with the military. Vote for the Constitution. Don't vote for trump. I don't love Harris. But she isn't threatening the Constitution or talking about being a dictator.
@comfortablynumb9342 she can't even answer the questions asked. She always has the same pre-writen responses. She cannot even provide a plan to implement her agenda. And as for the name we shall not say. He is only out for himself and the rich. He has no plan to really help us lower income households. The only main priority he has a freakin wall. This country is going down to the pits of hell real fast. Only the one true leader and creator of us all can make everything right. My trust is in God only.
Send it. Not a gulp fan. Can catch more without it and you can add scent to anything and not have to worry about pulling it off the jig to keep it hydrated. Not spending anymore money doing it the other way and when your done you don't have to worry about pulling it off. Once you pull them off there really not any good anymore anyways. Your taring a lot of that plastic putting it on and then having to then do it all over again.

Flukes are deadly in general, add that scent and it is game over.

Great video Josh! Glad to see you still producing content.
What's up buddy? Still producing, trying to get back to the norm.

@odoylerulez1427 we were hit hard, half the community was underwater. We weren't fortunately.

Thanks for watching, I like the little worms for bluegill fishing. They worked very well.
Awesome video, excellent content, gulp is a no brainer when fishing with artifical!
Couldn't agree more!

It's great stuff. Works wonders in Tampa Bay

Zman makes a great bait, checkout Down South lures. They are very effective.

Have to choose the best candidate and I believe he is the best candidate out of those two.

Yup, it's true. I can cover a ton of water in little time.
That underwater footage was crispy!

@davescheer5038 i need to get them as a sponsor lol. Save a ton of money. Thanks for your vote Dave. Chris loves KAMALA. Ask him 🤣
I ordered this box and all I received was a knife that they keep sending and now I have 6 odd them

We have our own opinions but the majority seem to agree and its refreshing.
My cat drank some of that Gulp juice and died. Keep it away from your pets.
Sorry to hear that, pets do like the scent.
Vote independant....or for me

Looks like the people agree with me. Should be a much better four years than what we have endured. 👍
