ScottK91 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Does anybody have a good gulp minnow smelt recipe they would like to share? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Interesting color. I couldn't find a big enough picture, but judging from what I saw, I'd start with like a minnow silver with gold hi-lite and either a black or very dark brown back.

MT204 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Been a lurker on this site for some time. Interesting question as I was ice fishing this weekend using a tip up with a smelt for bait. Thinking there must be a smelt mold or something close somewhere and a good recipe for a color?

ScottK91 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Ok thanks als I'll give that a try. On the gulp minnows the top looks like a brownish gray and the bottom looks like a grayish white. I'll have to do some messin around to see what I can come up with.

alsworms Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 If you can post a pic of what you're trying to copy, that would help. As said, I couldn't really find anything clear enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT204 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 The ones I use vary in color a bit. But this is pretty typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsworms Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 First time I saw the pic, I thought it was a black back, but it's definitely a dark brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apdriver Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Spike it's Arkansas Shiner might be a good place to start. Could be a little darker but would be an easy fix with a drop of black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
