Home Forums Fishing Freshwater Berckey Gulp?

The gulp minnows are killer on brook and brown trout, plus yellow perch, smallmouth and crappie

Took the grandsons (8 and 11) to a nearby river (creek in size) a couple weeks ago, they brought some Berkley Gulp things that kinda looked like hellgramites. Kokanee and rainbow. Fresh caught grasshoppers outfished the fake bugs about 4 to 1.

The gulp alive Minnows (especially the 1 inch) at this time of year here in east TN are incredible... I have fished 4 times in the last 2 weeks and each time I caught around 60-70 fish. One evening I caught 27 on 27 straight casts

1 inch berkley gulp alive minnow fished on a 1/64 ounce Trout Magnet jig on 4 pound test on a ultra light spinning rig

Fish I have caught with them in the last two weeks....
Large mouth bass
white bass
yellow bass
Small mouth bass
perch
3 types of bream
channel catfish
drum
crappie
War mouth
buffalo (type of carp)

I like the Gulp minnows for crappie, I also catch lots of bluegills on them and occasionally bass. I do wish they were a little more durable, I find that the 2” curly tail grubs hold up longer.
