All of the years I've been in the ilons....I've not fished. However, I have been saltwater fishing since 1975 and when I stumbled upon the Gulp products it was INCREDIBLE!!! Highly recommend the pumpkin seed color Gulp Swimming Mullet and the "peeler Crab" I have been on MANY fishing charters with guys and the guide bring the typical shrimp and such and that is great. But, one time a guide totally messed up and all of the bait died in the "live-well" (not so "live"...and not so "well") The guys were using the dead bait and catching nothing but catfish and I switched to Gulp pumpkin seed mullets that I brought and blew them away......I was bringing in trout, reds, and other species. We wound up going through an entire small plastic pail of the pumpkin seed mullets. Since a lot of saltwater fish like flashy bling type stuff, some nice spoons will likely work as well. I've had good luck with the red/white Dardevle Spoons (that is spelled correctly)
