Report:finally got my first waterford bass... now i'm a happy camper...

both of us caught a bass the first night and i got a coalie ans papa smirff got a flounder.. the second night i caught 2 bass and a coalie :lol: :lol: :lol:

flounder and one of the bass was caught on the 'Gulp crab'(they do work :shock: :shock: )

Well done steve.....i have the gulp grab myself jezzzes there huming with scent and they do work :?: :shock:

I have some Gulp crab but haven't used them much. How long does the scent last? How often do you need a fresh one?

i was rather sceptical about all those artificial baits... but now i'm converted...

well i had them on the hook quite a while (30 mins) before i got the bite..

at a rough guess when the colour of the crab completely fades from the crab the scent will be gone...

( i still want to get one of those wexford bass :lol: :lol: )

Not sure myself although thats the first thing i smell when i open the lure wallet yukky :mrgreen: .......i believe there good under the float for wrasse....im making it a target to catch something using them :shock: :shock:

One of the wexford tackle dealers told me the gulp crabs were working well locally, but then he was trying to sell them to me.

Might grab a few more packs from veals and give them a go ...

What colour were you using? Natural, moulting or "new penny" (looks more like fake tan)

If your talking to me i was using natural never had sucess though......Steve????????????????

That's what I've been using, also without success :(

er... i think they were the new penny ones.... not sure.. bag is in my coat pocket which is currently being driven to galway with the rest of my gear..

Good article on Gulp baits in this months Total Sea Fishing, might be worth a read for you, they gave it the thumbs up aswell. Is it expensive?

Is it expensive?
