Cold Water Fishing From the Bank with GULP Minnows

[@mikeustan494]

I love fighting blue gills on ultra light stuff.

[@lisatwitchell403]

Anytime I've spent a few hours fishing, I feel like I hadn't been fishing the right places if I didn't catch at least one limb.

[@RealisticFishing]

Fish relate to cover 😉

[@lisatwitchell403]

@@RealisticFishing You betcha! Have a signed old Bill Dance book on that very subject.

[@luinthorn9592]

I’m right there with ya on that Lisa!😄

[@bigjoe3287]

Gulp does it again. Good stuff

[@RealisticFishing]

Its my cold water secret weapon 👍

[@dandan4926]

Seen a few of your video brother you a layed back guy injoy what you bringing us to watch thanks for sharing

[@TPelican8250]

Really enjoy your videos. They truly capture what it is like to be a bank fisherman. I and I’m sure many of your subscribers catch themselves saying, “Yep that’s happened to me.” while watching. Love the part where you kept going back after the fish that was nibbling at your bait, kinda gets personal - sort of “mano-a-fisho “. Really satisfying when you finally catch it! Thanks for keeping it realistic. (Don’t have enough time to get into annoying boat fishermen who think they own the water!)

[@garydirks8223]

Fishing when you basically have the whole lake to yourself. Except for one lonely boater. That's the way to do it. Thanks for the show.👍

[@rossbowman202]

Nice bluegills and long ear sun fish. Going back to the basics, my Papa would be proud. Sometimes that is the best way to catch fish.

[@RealisticFishing]

I sitll like catching em, even if they arent bass 👍

[@GCDissapointment]

Props to you for fishing in the cold. I live in Michigan and we've already gotten snow up here :(

[@RealisticFishing]

Yikes! I hope I can fish all winter. We'll see 👍

[@GCDissapointment]

@@RealisticFishing Hunting season opened up a couple days ago and one of my favorite fishing spots happens to be near a big hunting area. The occasional gunshots in the background don't make for the best ambiance while fishing lol. I got nothing against hunting, but I probably won't be going back to that spot until spring. Best of luck to you!

[@clinodev]

That's what I'm talking about! Suffering in the rain, catching bluegill! Oh yeah!

[@RealisticFishing]

Ran or shine 👍

[@LargeMouthLunkin]

Glad you stuck with it. The start was a little rough but, you adapted and came through. That's Realistic Fishing at its finest!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thats right! I am glad I didn't give up 👍

[@FishCorn]

Till now best Cold Water Fishing video in this upcoming season for sure! Nice fishing work.

[@ryanpellegrini1023]

Those gulp minnows look super lit.

[@RealisticFishing]

Super Lit! 😂

[@twotoned2774]

It upsets me when KZbin shows I have a video from you in my notifications and it's one I already watched. They need stop getting me excited for no reason. When I can't fish, your videos brings me through that sad place. Keep it up.

[@RealisticFishing]

Oh youtube, can you figure out this notification thing already? 😅

[@stevedimond267]

Awesome. You stuck with it and it paid off.

[@RealisticFishing]

I almost gave up 😅

[@SunfishForFish]

It's 70 degrees outside here in Texas 😁😎

[@lupiaan2021]

There's 6 inches of snow here now, so enjoy the decent bluegills and the cold hands!! nice vid!

[@RealisticFishing]

I do enjoy bluegills and cold hands 👍😀

[@lupiaan2021]

haha you're so lucky! Up here in Quebec, winter is very early this year...

[@scottkidder8631]

My bp large mouth came on the 2" version same color on a drop shot right after the lake thawed.... those things work amazingly well on lethargic fish!

[@RealisticFishing]

I think I have some laying around! I might have to try em 👍

[@nicholaspouliotoutdoors384]

Definitely going to try the bigger ones

[@carolinaclunkers8809]

Nice luv the smelt 5 inchers.. 🐟 on bro. Got me ton of tackle today.

[@kodywody480]

Personal favorite setup when using gulp alive! Minnows is just a split shot and a hook. And cast it out. Changing split shots size depending on how the bite is for presentation in the water as how fast itll sink and whatnot.

[@bobbypena4619]

Going in the a.m. with my son to try some of the nibbles you used last video. Hopefully we catch a few.

[@ericdavis9210]

Hopefully y'all have a better time than I did this morning 🤣!

[@RealisticFishing]

Good luck out there!

[@imalano9534]

Worm and bobber or float is my favorite way to fish, never used Gulp Minnows. I dig the panfish videos.

[@FishingGrubbZ]

Congrats on the best Gill of the year dude! Great video as always Alex

[@virgilrosa6035]

Me as a beginner I been fishing with worms but I seen these gulp minnows and had to get a pack for my first time using plastic it felt good catching a 3 inch bass... Good vid @RealisticFishing

[@cmeplumb]

I caught my pb last week on 12 lb omniflex. 7.7 lb bass. I’ve always bought more expensive line but decided to get it because of your videos. Now I can’t see spending more that $1.72 on line. Thanks!

[@OldLadyAngler]

Those big gills can put up a good fight!

[@steelcagejourneys1325]

Great video man love those gulp products

[@RealisticFishing]

Me to, they get it done for sure 👍

[@mikecha1957]

Alright Alex, good to see you man...Fun times for sure..

[@MegaNafo]

Nice bluegill ! , sometimes float wins when is a lots of snags , but usually ... drop shot !

[@RealisticFishing]

I like to drop shot, but man the snags were rough this time.

[@nicholaspouliotoutdoors384]

The long ears we caught at whatts bar lake were huge caught them on bass shiners lol Tennessee grows some big sun fish

[@RealisticFishing]

I hope I can into some big ones like that 👍

[@HopskysLounge]

Bobber was working well, Nice!

[@RealisticFishing]

Better than bottom fishing... this time 👍

[@slashgillz9527]

Another awesome vid on those bluegills. That 8 incher was a niiiiiiice one. Love it when they get as big as your hand, smaller fish with the heart of a big fish lol. Keep it reel man.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks ninja master Payton 👊

[@slashgillz9527]

The voice of the southern ninja anglers lol

[@bonzogoTrump]

Caught a 10 lb stick fish on a #10 hook is amazing. Cool video. Thanks for posting as always

If only it was a bass! 😅

[@1earlcatfish]

I still have some in my tackle box but I've never had any luck. I think i'm going to go back out and give them another try .

[@rhinohd]

#6 Aberdeen Hook and hooking them through the belly works for me. I have tried using them like you are here and get the same result. Happy Fishing!

[@Notmyname-co5sc]

I over the past 2 months have stocked up on every size gulp minnow berkly makes

[@kevinsandells9933]

Even the wood likes the gulp minnows. 🤪 .great video. Be safe

[@kevintebo3736]

Great job as always. Nice big bluegill

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Kevin 👍

This place is a very good show. Very cool fishing Congratulations. stay with God!👍🎣🐠🐟😊

[@juliocruz7481]

Nice job man!! Might give those Minnows a try!

[@RealisticFishing]

Worth a try for sure 👍

[@vinceabarca]

That package has seen better days 😂😂😂

[@RealisticFishing]

Sure has 😅

[@i2aspire]

That last bluegill was a nice size one

[@lisatwitchell403]

Amazing, I just set up a separate box for all my drop shot fishing and had to hunt everywhere for my Gulp minnows. I've been cleaning and sorting everything and the bag was really nasty so I washed it and put it in my dish drainer to dry. LOL

[@RealisticFishing]

Did they spill? Oh, they stink 😅

[@lisatwitchell403]

No spillage. It's nasty and cold here right now so I've been cleaning and organizing all of my fishing equipment. It's been ignored most of the summer. It was a very busy summer other things. I'm afraid fishing came in second and my boat and gear were a real mess. Respooling oh my reels tomorrow.

[@BigBearFishing]

Those were some nice Sunfish man! They are definitely holding around all that structure (and trash) in that spot.

[@carnufiasfishing8444]

You make me want to start pan fishing. Great Video. Keep It Realistic 🎣😎🎣😎🎣😎🎣

[@RealisticFishing]

I like all kinds of fishing, but some people are too cool for old school 👍

[@carnufiasfishing8444]

I used to pan fish lots when i was younger. Then i caught my first Striper & was hooked. Been catching Stripers & Bass since then.

[@RealisticFishing]

If I could catch stripers from the bank in a hour or two, I would definitely try it.

[@rezq911]

Damn, I was expecting that YUM hat!

[@alexgilson4609]

Gotta love some panfishing. I used to do a lot of bluegill fishing but its been a while. My go to is little pieces of bacon, cant beat it. I also love those bobby garland babby shad for crappie and sometimes panfish. Gulp is great but for the price I dont use it much.

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Good looking bluegill and that longear was amazing 👏 👌 😍

[@fishingwithjesus2274]

Man I hate it when KZbin turns off notifications. Sorry I haven’t watched in a while! Great video as always! Bass boats alway fish right next to us on the shore

[@RealisticFishing]

Thats rude and dickish 😅

[@ptube86]

Nice BlueGill!!

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@honkeykong85]

Love those gulp minnows. we got a fair amount of snow and ice yesterday’s definitely a bummer for my fishing game lol. I’d love to get out and throw a micro drop shot rig with some of those minnows! Keep up the great work Alex!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Kong, I hope you get a chance to get out and fish 👍

[@honkeykong85]

Realistic Fishing me too! Thanks brah!!!

[@RushVoorhisOutdoors]

DUDE ... stop giving out ice fishing secrets.... 🤣🤣

[@RealisticFishing]

Oops! 😅

[@flatlanderoutdoors2549]

BAM Omniflex pulling like a boss 😂🍻

[@RealisticFishing]

Its the best line for beginners and bank fishermen 🍺

[@maces1405]

I'm done trying your baits bro. No dice on fake worms or the white ones. Nightcrawlers for the win. I did land an 8 pound blue cat yesterday. Love your channel Alex 👍

[@RealisticFishing]

Artificials definitely take a lot of attention and finesse. 👍

[@octaviofuentes7781]

quality blue gills there stay warm Alex ✌👊

[@honkeykong85]

I’ve also found that bigger bluegills tend to hit “lighter” than the smaller ones. Definitely can take patience lol

[@RealisticFishing]

Yeah, when the water is cold a lot of the bites probably go undetected. 😅

[@honkeykong85]

Realistic Fishing for sure!

[@FishingGrubbZ]

Sunfish, log, bag, not a bad day so far haha

[@FishingWithBIGD]

That spots turned out to be a blue gill haven ...lol some good sized ones

[@RealisticFishing]

One of my fav cold weather spots 👍

[@rippinlips5717]

You caught some nice fish!

Def gonna hit some local areas for bluegill next time. Great vid 👍

[@johnhuddleston1986]

Damn those bluegill where your at have some awesome color to them.

[@hoosierbackoutdoors1237]

Nice video man! I was thinking that bag was a keeper. And that Log Salmon was huge!! LOL

[@RealisticFishing]

That bag was so gross... it felt biological.

[@hoosierbackoutdoors1237]

Realistic Fishing EWWWWWWW

[@M22-p9k]

Again enjoyed the video. Got to say I’m new the the you tube fishing “scene” after your last bro Manson video I thought I should check out some other channels, mostly so I could fully understand. Let’s just say I fully understand now and it really made me appreciate your channel, the way you edit, your commentary and the fact that you don’t talk 1000mph through every second of your videos, and of course the fact that your realistic and your not fishing with fast food! Smh!!

[@RealisticFishing]

I am glad you took a look at youtube to see for yourself. 👊

[@JeffGeraldFishing]

Nice bluegills. I went fishing today with a buddy of mine, bite was really slow but we did manage to get a few in the boat. It was hard to tell what was a rock we were going over and what was a fish cause they hardly had a bite to them. But still a good day fishing. Great video once again man 👊🏻

[@Retro-2-now]

You impressed the hell out of me by identifying that long ear sunfish while reeling it in. 😂 if it’s not a bluegill, I can look at panfish for 20 mins trying to figure out which species it is 🤣

[@frybrothersfishing611]

Going to have to buy some gulp minnows next time I'm in town.

[@RealisticFishing]

Worth a try for sure 👍

[@MrJota619]

These gulps minnows kill it out here in the San Diego bay drop shot them and just a slow retrieve guaranteed a fish from spotted bay bass to Croaker to halibut and Corvinas 👌🏼

[@kevinyang6256]

Enjoyed the video keep it up. With the water cooling down are you planning to do some shore catfishing like in the past.

[@RealisticFishing]

I might if I think they are around, so far the conditions dont seem quite right.

[@luckyx16]

I used to get pissed at boaters when I was using a bobber to jig either jigs or artificial baits, then I realized if I just ignored the bobber until the wakes passed, I usually caught a fish off of one of the wakes. Just let them work the bait in a static position.

[@BigBlocksOtherStuff]

Nice video, I put them big Blue Gill in some hot oil. I went yesterday with some worms and shrimp, but no luck. This water is messed up right now.

[@samuelwarden6285]

I fished for a little while in my dad's pond with them today and caught 3 crappie. I use them with a float though. I haven't tried them on a drop shot yet. I would probably be hung up on the first cast lol.👊👍

[@RealisticFishing]

Thats what happened to me. Then I changed to the float, problem solved 😀

[@jameshunt6317]

Sweet job bro !! Keep the content coming 🔥🔥🔥

[@217rebeloutdoors5]

Great video Alex I'm surprised you havent found any crappie mixed in with those blugills

[@RealisticFishing]

They seem harder to catch this year, I am not sure whats up.

[@217rebeloutdoors5]

That's really weird not sure

[@beastSlayer201]

You should do a comparison between natural colors and bright colors like fire tiger to get some fall/winter fish.

[@RealisticFishing]

Fire tiger gulp minnows?

[@RGPFishing]

Put a smack down on those bluegills nice video man!

[@RealisticFishing]

When the bass aint biting, I need my fix!

[@bgmeads]

I caught my biggest sunfish this morning in lake Travis. He was about 15 inches. I caught him on a rooster tail mini and it was the white color.

[@RealisticFishing]

15 inch would be a new state record for Texas. I hope you kept it to show to the game warden.

[@joshabels8820]

please keep doing those hilarious parody videos! They're so damn funny #walmartfishingchallenge

[@patrickruhe5450]

That's all I use when I'm not using braid. I have 1 of each spool for 4# - 20# at $1 each pretty Damn tough

[@RealisticFishing]

Its the best secret out there! And it right there in plain view 😀

[@84FrankDaTank]

I will use the 12 lb omniflex but not the 6-pound it just brakes so much easier compared to berkley's trilene. I've lost some lures and since I got the berkeleys I've pulled in most of my Lures back. It's still think it's good line for traditional worm and hook fishing

[@RealisticFishing]

I never have any problems with it. I will even use 4 during trout season.

[@atobeast]

Try some nitrile gloves. They're cheap and they keep your hands from getting wet. Still have good dexterity and decent insulation from wind. If they can keep my hands warm when making snow balls, they can keep yours warm when fishing. They aren't perfect, but they work well.

[@RealisticFishing]

I have tried them, they get wet inside from hand sweat. 😅

[@atobeast]

@@RealisticFishing well, yeah. They're water-proof. Lol. I'm glad to hear you've tried different stuff. Good luck in the future.

Isn't a good bluegill a blast! My last big one was 9 and a half plus inches a couple of weeks ago. Hadn't caught one that big in ages.

[@RealisticFishing]

Its always a pleasant surprise 👍

[@sgtpavlov]

Nice fishing, have you ever tried using pieces of power bait trout worms, or power bait honey worms like that? I've had good results on both of those 2 power bait varieties.

[@RealisticFishing]

I dont think I have ever seen those two at the store. I will have to look them up.

[@sgtpavlov]
