chumming works great and brings the fish to You.
when I heathen fish. I get a 5 gallon pail and mix sand and seaweed and then mash up herring or what ever You want in it.
make the chum finer than Ya chunks and then toss out the chum with the sand and mix You made up. the chum will disperse better
(did I spell that right
)
when chunking the canal pogies mashed up fine works good to. and yes clams and squid work great to.
