Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ned1 A necessary weapon
Fishing the flats in Tampa Bay, FL ideally you have live white bait, a gold spoon and Gulp! Going after spooky red fish, snook and sea trout, I really don't have a consistent favorite I bring them all and keep changing until the fish show a consistent preference. Most days Berkley Gulp catch fish as well as any other form of bait.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by hawaiicaster Almost as good as live shrimp
It used to be easy many years ago to go down to the brakish water ponds and catch a bucketful of opae(brakish water shrimp) The last time I went I caught 10 in one hour. I needed another approach, so I went on line to see what was there. I came across Bass Pro Shops, Berkeley salt water shrimps and decided to give it a try after reading some of the reviews. Great move in the right direction. The fish love them and will strike if moved slowly behind a bobber with a added split shot 8 inches above bait. I caught Awaawa(Ladyfish) , Lai (Leatherback) and Papio (Jack Crevelle.) I would say almost a good as live bait, but no need to go down and catch bait. Highly recommended to fellow anglers.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by TFDog May Not outfish but ties live bait
I have used New penny/ Chartreuse in the shrimp a lot in Tampa Bay and other places on the gulf coast of florida and I always say "well if they arent hitting the Gulp they must not be here" I use thesse to target speckled trout on the flats in Tampa and they never disappoint with a 1/4 oz chartreuse jig head they always put fish in the boat and usually keeper ones. Brought home dinner for tonight when I used them yesterday actually
2 thumbs up!

A:Â
Best to just work it. like a jig head and pop it a couple of times. I would suggest if you are trying for a less aggressive fish then just work it a little slower. pop it a couple of time and let sit for around 8 seconds. Just find a good pace
A:Â
I'd use a small jig head and give it an occasional hop.A:Â
Fair. I like to bounce slowly.Answers
A:Â
This bait can be used in any ways you think. I love to bounce them across the bottom or drift them across the bottom. Just hang on, because if the fish are there, you will get them. Great baits. I have caught big Redfish and Seatrout with whole Gulp baits in their bellies that someone had thrown over after use. I know this because there are no hooks in the baits. Good luck fishing.Details:Â
Which size hook or jig head to use on a 3" shrimp? I'll be fishing off the jetties using the popping cork method.Answers
A:Â
I like using a 1/3 oz jig head. Go check out the h20 jigs and they have great appearance and great pricesA:Â
It's hard to say not knowing the tide, current, etc but as a guideline I would start light and go heavier as needed. Remember your trying to mimic a live shrimp.A:Â
i use a 1/4 oz jig head on em and works great
Top 50 Contributor
A:Â
If you plan on using a jighead I suggest a Calcutta short shank jighead, a mission jighead, a StrikeKing flats jighead, or a DOA jighead. They are all great choices and an 1/8 or 1/4 should be fine under a cork.If you want to go unweighted with a regular hook I strongly suggest a Owner Mutu Light circle hook, either a 1/0 or 2/0 hook. If you are more comfortable with a "j-hook", Mustad makes several bait keeper styles to hold your Gulp and make a quick stick.
I hope this helps.

Can you fish this product of the bottom? Will it catch flounder, red, trout off the bottom?
Details:Â
Pier fishingAnswers
A:Â
Definitely! that is what its best for. Just stick it on a jig head and pop it on the bottom. You will see results.A:Â
I have been using this product bottom fishing from a Kayak. I can't say whether or not it will catch specific species, but I have been getting lots of sea bass with them on the bottom.

I have heard of some people using a 5/8 or 3/4 ounce casting weight and rigging this lure on a saltwater dropshot set up.I prefer the lightest jighead I can cast effectively and that has the sink rate I prefer. In very shallow water I will sometimes use a 1/16 ounce DOA jighead and hop the Gulp over the turtle grass.
I have caught flounder, reds, and a ton of trout on Gulp to answer the second part of your question.
I hope this helps

I like the glow with the chartruse tail and the New Penny both 3 inches long. They have caught trout and Red Fish for me.A:Â
I like new penny
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
New Penny, hands down!A:Â
I use the natural color and new penny, it works the best in the marsh where i fish at. I catch speckel trout red fish and flounder
Top 10 Contributor
A:Â
Natural, but all colors work well...darker or bright colors in stained water.A:Â
White or new penny here on the Gulf Coast of Florida.Details:Â
will the 2 inch version catch smaller fish with a very high bite ration...normally i will fish with bloodworms and have a high high bite ratio per casts..probably 99 percent...will you get hit up like that and will you catch fish from which lengths and which species from land and jetties....white perch/striper.....Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
I use the 3" and will catch tiny fish to 40+ inch fish. They are awesomeA:Â
The 2" is pretty small.I use the 3"-4". I still catch small fish on them too. You don't miss many fish on gulp, they tend to not let go.
A:Â
yes it will...I prefer the 4" for speckled trout. "bigger the bait bigger the catch"
Top 10 Contributor
A:Â
If you are getting 99% bite to cast ratio, why try anything else? Gulp 2 and 3 inch will catch most anything that swims in saltwater and in various sizes.Q:Â

What is the best way to rig this when surf casting? On a jig head get it on the bottom and work it back ?
Answers
A:Â
Use a Carolina rig with the appropriate wt. for the conditions of the surf. Use your jig heads on the rig. Also you can try using a heavier jig head , with no wt. and bounce it of the bottom of the sand.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
Under a copping cork with 18-24" leader.A:Â
jig head or carolina rig both work well.A:Â
A jig head will work well, but try it on a leader set-up. Use a 24" fluorocarbon leader attached to a 3o kahle hook. Use about a 1oz sinker (or heavier) to hold your bait down in the surf. Good luck.

Try it on a jig head but also on a standard bottom rig for surf casting.
Answers
A:Â
Jig head is the best. Just rig it as you would all other softbaits and just jig it on the bottom

A:Â
Same as a from a pier or jetty. Ona hook or jig head under a popping cork.
A:Â
A jig head, but a popping cork gets the best results for me.A:Â
Under a weighted float using a small jig head.A:Â
If you put them under a popping cork you can.Answers
A:Â
Absolutely, its the main way I fish them. and if that doesn't work a jig head will do the trick. The 3 and 4 inch do well but the 2 inch need weight.A:Â
I have a friend that will try it if we are running out of bait, but never seen him catch anything but a pin fishA:Â
Sure can, using an unweighted hook, no problem.Answers
A:Â
In the fall and winter when the stripers run up the river in fresh water here, we catch them on white gulp. I have also caught Largemouth bass with them and on the next cast catch a redfish on the gulp.Go figure.
A:Â
I have tried them a few time's with no success.A:Â
Absolutely. Catfish and bass will take shrimp all day long. Try it under a cork or carolina rig it and see what happens. Good luck.A:Â
perch, catfish, stripers, anything that eats shrimp and some stuff that doesn't. most predatory fish hit based on color and action so the saltwater/freshwater thing doesn't make a huge difference. i have done well with both in both types of water.
