Fishing With Gulp! Posted By : Carl Willis
Living on the Texas Gulf Coast, I spend a lot of time near the water with a fishing rod in hand. The prime catch around here is Red Drum, Black Drum, Speckled Sea Trout and Flounder. When fishing for these prized fish there is a myriad of natural and live bait choices available to the fisherman. The bait of choice for local anglers is shrimp.
The problem with shrimp is the ease with which it is removed from the hook. Often the little bait stealing fish, like Pin Perch, will nibble the shrimp off of the hook before a real game fish ever has the opportunity to get to it. With shrimp costing $4 to $5 per pound, this can get to be a costly proposition for the serious angler.
