So far this year - What seems to be the best 3 Gulp products for Fluke? You know.....the ones you wouldn't leave home without!
-
4" swimming mullet. This is all I use. When something works that good, you hate to try another. I have used the gulp sand eels with no success. "yet"
-
3" & 4" swimming mullet in hot pink and char. was the ticket for me so far this year. A lot of shorts with only one keeper but plenty of action.

I use the chartreuse 4" swimmimg mullet most of the time. I also like the 5" jerk shads, sand eels, and all three sizes of the shrimp as well. Eventually I'm going to get around to trying those 3" squid. ;D

ive had great luck with the white mullet used pink last year ...

I like the 3 and 4" swimming mullets in white, pink and chartreuse.
I just got the 6" swimming mullets in white and will try them instead of squid strips...they are large, but have seen reports that they have been getting some bigger fluke.
-
they didn't have the 6" swimming mullet last season, didn't see it this year either.. where did you get them
-
1-4" Swimming mullet in chartuese or white/glow.
2-2" Swimming mullet same colors.
3-3" or 4" Shrimp in new penny.

I did a search, and couldn't find the 6" swimming mullet.. they do have 6" grub.
-
Yes it is the grub....alot heavier....will give it a try on Tuesday and see what happens.

where did you find them.. I can't see how you can miss with them. I wrote the company last year with Capt Vic requesting they make a 6" swimming mullet. I am just hoping to see it on the market soon.

Dick's has it. It's called the 6" Power Grub. It sells for $6.99 per 4 pack. It's a nice bait, but I wished they made the body a little thinner (more streamlined).

streamline, almost like the mullet...

chartreuse or neon yellow anything t^

Actually, more like the plain old Gotcha curl tail grubs. I've been using those for years to tip my bucktails for stripers.
1. I think the 6" Berkley is too bulky, which may interfere with the hook set (i.e. not leaving enough bite for the hook).
2. I think they would be too buoyant, which would result in having to step up to another size or two in weight.
3. I'm not usually one to put dowm expensive baits. But four 6" twister tails for $7 is a lot of money!
Having said all that, I may try them soon and in a few weeks be telling everyone how great they are! ;D

Included a couple of packs in a recent Cabela's order to try them out.

the 6 in grubs are good tiped on a sro but it does look like only a big fish can be caught
used it yesterday at the flukeathon it looks real good but no big fish caught caught tons on a teaser with the 4in mullet in charchus they were all over it but only one keeper 20 in
-
4 pieces for 7 bucks : GET AWAY BLUEFISH !!!!!
-
I've been trying the 6" grub and don't care for it. Body too long and not durable at all. Works ok on 3oz+ jigs.
Love the 4" swim mullet and wish they just made that one bigger proportionately.
White, glow, pumpkinseed has been working quite well for me lately. TT^

3 inch new penny shrimp

i tried the shrimp and the sand eel, but the mullet work better. The swimming action of the tail helps. I used to fish with the mr. twisters with success, and with the swimming mullet, its the same thing with an attractant.
-
I have tried just about ever flavor and color. More hits and more aggressive hits on the precut bait, pink shrimp. This is the one they followed to the surface. I had a strip of squid on with it.
Dont know if that had anything to do with it or not.
-
I think fluke really need to see the fluttering action of either a strip bait, a plastic grup, or a swimming mullet. So if I'm using something like a Gulp shrimp or sand eel or a dead natural bait fish like a spearing, I make sure a use a strip of squid, makerel, bluefish. Because the Gulp swimming mullet has that fluttering tail, the strip bait isn't necessary.

Welcome Aboard MartyS, thanks for sharing. Thats what we are all bout.

I use the swimming mullit on spro. If I
have to use a rig, The shrimp and sandeel
combo w/fluke belly works great.

I find the swimming mullets are great, but if there are little sea bass or snappers in the area they nip the curly tail right off, and that's the end of that. I like a hi/low with a jerk shad and a new penny shrimp. Killer! Have tried either one hi and the top always seems to outfish the low.
BTW, I'm new to this forum, look forward to talking with y'all. I fish mainly from my yak around the AC area.

Do you rig the swimming mullets on a chrome ball or bucktail? Or do you use a standard type fluke rig with a sinker, etc?
-
That's the wonder of Gulp. Bucktail, jighead, fishfinder, fluke rig, dropper loop, they all work. Just wish they were a little cheaper. I cring every time a blue chops one in half.
-
I hear that DAK...the downfalls to fishing with the Atlantic Pirahnas. As bad as bass fishing and getting my line cut by a pickerel!!
I tend to keep a heavier leader or wire leader on when salt and freshwater fishing with those 2 species around!! It seems to work, or maybe I am just being cheap?!?!
;D

I use the swimming mullet on spro. If I have to use a rig, I put A gulp shrimp and a sandeel on.
or shrimp and squid strip.

I hear DAK, those are very expensive.
