With mine it rarely clogs, I remember once or twice it clogged. Clean ups are very easy and it is not that messy.(Although this is NOT an indoor operation!) flush with hose while running, spray well with WD40 or motor oil for storage
Before I made this, I recall the conversation with my wife about using the Kitchen Aid with the grinder attachment...I could see that was not going to happen so I didn't push it. You have to pick your battles and that was one I was not going to win. So I made one like Van using parts picked up cheap from Ebay.
I place a bucket with a kitchen trash bag as a liner underneath the output of the grinder and feed in bait fish as fast as it will take it until the bucket is full of chum...I also add any extra "flavoring" during the process (extra bunker oil, oatmeal, sand, etc) . Once the bucket is full (10 min or so) I take the entire bucket and place it in the bait freezer (chest style). After a few days I take it out and flip it over and take off the bucket and then put the frozen chum (in the plastic bag) back in the freezer until use. When using it I simply take the plastic bag off and insert it in an Aquaskiz chum bag ( I found this to be a good heavy duty chum bag and it has lasted several years).
This is probably one of the cleanest ways to fish with bunker. The frozen bucket of chum in the bag puts out a steady stream of chum for more than a full tide of fishing. I then drift chunk baits back in the slick. Works like a charm and will piss off the chunkers as it will pull the fish from their boats as soon as their chunking is interrupted and they will not leave your non-stop slick. Oh...and if you decide to leave early and want to re-use the chum, no problem...put the entire chum bag in a garbage bag and place in the freezer (the chum is still frozen) and just take it with you next time. Also clean up is easy with chum bags...empty, rinse and split.
