vspivey (11/28/2007)Hey guys here's a question?? I was throwing 4" Gulp shrimp tonight on a 1/4 oz jig head, I threw out & let settle, at least I think it was settling to bottom, and then slowing pulled up a little and let drop, pull up and let drop, and the slow retreive. All I caught was trout, I did caught a 27" Red, but that was on live shrimp. What's the trick to caught reds on these Gulp shrimp, what's the best reteive????

I'm not sure of the "proper" way. I use the same set up as you w/ the 1/4 jig head and 4". I usually let them hit bottom and slowly try to bump them on the retrieve. I've caught everything from specs, flounder, reds, and pomps like that. However I have had a slot red hit one on a pretty quick retrieve near the top of the water when I was wading the sound. I think sometimes the fish cant resist the crack that Berkely puts in that juice!!

"The Juice" (Not O.J. Simpleton but the stuff in the bag) is indeed majic.

Used the last GULP last trip so I tied on a Sassy Shad jerkbait.

SLOW untilI stuck some regular old Sassy Shad's into the GULP bag and rolled them around a bit.

Caught fish again on the Sassy Shad with GULP deoderant until I ran out of those.

That GULP juice is Trout CRACK!!!

Just don't dry it out and smoke it. It'll make your lips pucker!!!!!

All good advice. I have had better success with Reds using a 4" gulp shrimp and just a circle hook. Throw it out and twitch it back in like you would a jerk bait just slower. If the water is deeper than 4', go with a jig head.

Hope this helps,

Nick
