GULP Minnow vs GULP Worm - Beginner Friendly Baits for Bank Fishing!

  • Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
  • Today I am using beginner friendly baits for bank fishing. This is the Gulp Minnow vs Gulp worm challenge. Which of these baits will catch more fish? I start fishing with the gulp worms as the last parts of a rainstorm push through. The bite is a bit slow but I do manage to catch a fish. I switch the the gulp minnow and the bite starts to pick up. I fish with both baits twice and end up catching some great bluegill and even some golden shiners. If you can find Gulp Minnows and Worms, you just found great beginner fishing baits, especially for some easy bank fishing. #fishing #notsponsored

      I stopped watching the bass fishing channels ,they're all the same over hyped up on gucci gear and " big hogggs" and just way over the top acting for a 2lb bass. Rather see unique catches and variety over guys yanking bass across the water saying how hard fighting it was when they're using over powered setups hoping for a unicorn 12lb bass😂😂😂

      He doesn’t catch a quarter pound bass and just go “pfffffff pathetic, I can’t even catch a seven today”. He’s genuinely glad to have a fish on the show just like ANYONE is glad to catch a fish! Major HYPE HOLY SHIT CHALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLENGE channels act like you should be ashamed of yourself for catching a one pound bass. A REAL fisherman like Alex is glad to be out there and catch someone no matter what.

But the Pinched Crawlers work great and I think it’s partly due to the look of them. They look much more real and I’ve found personally that smaller baits tend to do better than large ones.

    I have yet to try either Gulp products so this was helpful to watch. I'll say one thing I like is having your bait in a container about the size of a pill bottle. You don't have to lug a tackle box, worm container box, or minnow bucket, all around with you. I mainly Fly Fish but once in awhile wind conditions just won't allow it. Then I get out my many decades old vintage bright shinny green all metal casing Johnson Century spin reel and casting rod. Had it since I was nine and I'm seventy and a half now. Guys are always trying to buy it off of me when they see it. I've kept it well maintained by greasing and oiling all individual parts. It is a beauty. Caught many a Bluegill on it over a lifetime. I too am a Bluegill fisherman at heart. I enjoy by Bass, Crappie, and Trout, but my heart is always with the Bluegill. Here in the South we get some nice big fat ones eight and nine inches not uncommon. So I'm going to try the Gulp baits now that I've seen your video. I trust Realistic Fishing more then any fishing program on UA-cam!
