Mackerel make good chum. Pogies and clam bellies make the best. Chum in a spot with some current but not too much current. I like to chunk with the same chum that I'm using. So if I'm chumming with squid, my hook baits are also squid. Some guys will make a blend--a little of this a little of that. The key is to chum with chum and not chunks. I take my time when I dice. Small bits, real small. Don't want to feed the bass, just drive them into a frenzy.
