I never tried the gulp lures, but I tried the "powerbait" like gulp (crawlers, grubs, waxies, etc.) a few times assuming I'd have luck with it for panfish like I had using powerbait for trout. I never caught anything. I even tried saltwater gulp strips on a deep sea fishing trip on a double hook rig with clams on one hook and clams and gulp strips on the other. Fish avoided the hook with gulp on it until after i removed the gulp. I had a friend who tried fishing gulp for a month unil he got something, finally a few weeks of luckless fishing later he got a big sunfish.
I have no clue how berkley can claim it outpreforms live bait. I am amazed it is working for you.

Nice fish. I use gulp waxies too. Work almost as well as live bait. Where is it that you were fishing?Well I decided to hit a spot for pumpkinseed, ended up getting more than that, got some perch, a couple small rock bass, a couple largemouth (biggest was 10", smallest were like 2" lol), and a couple 1sts for this spot, caught some common and golden (my 1st) shiners Man ice fishing jigs and Gulp Waxies catch a ton of stuff

I generally outfish him 3 to 1 when I use the flyrod though.
Bare in mind, I have huge hands and that is a saltwater fly.
Can't help lovin those exotic introduction freaks.

Mike, where did you find those fish!??! I've never seen sunfish THAT big....
Also, those don't look like our typical New England bluegills, are they redbreast sunfish? If so, how did end up in MA? (I'm assuming that's where you caught them based on your profile)

Your first fish is very attractive.

Atypical habitat, deep clear kettle pond very little weeds. At a glance it looks barren but actually contains high numbers of copepods. At times these big daphnia fill the water column like a dark cloud.
Smaller daphnia and cyclops also get like that in winter.Trout that I have cleaned from the lake have deep bodies, dark pink flesh and usually a belly packed with 'pods.
Only banded killifish and yellow perch are actually native to the pond. The rich feed grows some killer perch as well, but very few in numbers.

Central Ma location,yes they are bluegill. The humped back shape is a sign of long life and the bright colors are from pulling the bulls right off the beds.

Wow, sounds like a pretty neat place. Looks like its a little out of the way too, don't see any lake houses in that pic. Oligotrophic lakes and ponds are neat environments. I can understand why you don't want to name this location!
To get back on topic... Panfisherteen, nice fish! but you need to get yourself a fly rod. Doesn't need to be expensive.

That is a slob of a bluegill. We get some good size b.gills here on LI also.
Anyway, here's a 32" bluefish I caught today on a plug. This bad boy almost spooled me.
