I use a 1 oz jighead or a flutterhook.
:withstupidFreespool (11/22/2007)1/8, 1/4, or 3/8 oz jig head depending on depth. 1/8 is what i use the most.
vspivey (11/21/2007)I hear a lot of guys talking about using "Gulp" shrimp to catch reds. Can anyone shed some light on this? What size, how to rig them? Do you put a egg weight and sink them, or fish them middle, top? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
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!!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????
