Gulp for flounder

[bassnblues]

Anyone every try any of the Gulp products for flounder? They have scent so it seems to me they should work...

Gulp micro wiggles, chartreuse. They worked for me!

Gulp is a great product, in my opinion. I don't think you need them for flounder. A little yellow grub works well but you can go real cheap brand. You will be chumming and mix up some ground and you will be good. Good to see guys looking to fish. We can still enjoy our fisheries even if the powers that be feel differently.

Gulp will work.. Small sizes of course,, they have trout sizes that would probably work well.. They might be a good bet for "drifting" for flounder.. I know its not a common technique, but slow drifting works great for winter flounder once they become a bit more active,, I used to do it all the time,, No need to chum, just like fluking, except for the rig and bait used of course.... bob

I'll be putting this to the test soon, got some micro jigs with good hooks and some trout gulp ready to go!

I did very well in Montauk harbor drifting for flounder a few years ago. The B&T suggested it because it was too windy to get outside. I thought he was crazy to drift for flounder bu we caught a lot.

Thinking of going from shore in Belmar.

Here's what I would do.. I would get a typical flounder rig, and some small Gulp worms or twisties, in trout/panfish sizes.. Flounder have always seemed to be drawn to color, so I would try bright offerings such as Chartreuse, Red, Yellow, etc. However, I would also buy just a dozen sandworms, or even cheaper a bag of Shoprite mussels.. Just use a tiny piece of sand worm, or a tiny bit of mussel snot right on the same hook with the Gulp.. You'll get them if they are around and active, NO question.. Consider drifting as well, if its not too fast.. I used to do it over 30 years ago, and it worked great, and we never needed to use chum when we drifted... bob

Drifting for Flounder was a technique Marty Haines (& a few other party boat captains) employed to put a catch on deck. Conditions need to be right and if I recall correctly you'd want a very slow drift.

I recall during the early 90's we drift through the deep hole by the #1 can off the Bug Light and load up on flounder and ling

Here's your winter flounder later in the season using 4" gulp and a load of clam with 4/0 bait holder hooks.
