Caught for the cycle on gulps

Post by dolphinatic »

The 13 year old has been wanting to go pond fishing, so this evening we went. Launched the aluminum Lowe around 6:30pm and paddled around throwing beetle spins. We had a few bumps, but no takers. Tried some topwater.......nothing. Tried various rapalas.....nothing. I decided that we weren't going to be skunked by bream or bass, so I started digging around in the box. Wouldn't you know.....found a partial bag of new pennys. I figured that it couldn't hurt to try, so I snipped off a pinch and tossed it out. The bream were all over it!!! Fished it with no cork or lead and they wouldn't leave it alone. Spent the next 1 1/2 hours catching bream, warmouth perch, bass, catfish and a turtle (it didn't count though). So, in the last week, I have now caught speckled trout, reds, whiting, sailcat, shark, flounder, bream, bass, catfish and perch off the gulp. What a great bait :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Anyhow, it was a fun way to spend the evening and now I'm off to bed :smt015 so I can make it to Pennsylvania tomorrow morning to do some rainbow trout fishing in the afternoon.

Life is good....... :lol:

There are words to describe someone who is able to report so much fishing news and then run off ..... to fish some more. :o But I shall restrain. :roll: Let me just say that should someone hook up a vacuum meter to your thread I suspect that it would pull a minimum of 30 inches. :D Have a good trip :thumbup:

I'm going to be disappointed if you dont report catching rainbows on gulp. I'd be even more impressed if you did it on a fly rod.
