Whole Bunker or Chunks

[danno1]

I posted this in the other forum, but forgot that this would be a better place, since fishing from a boat. Whole DEAD Bunker, or chunks ? Mackerel ?

chunks.
1 for the hook.
the other 3 pieces over the side for the slick.

[MrHunters]

can you used that theory for all bait fish?

to piggy back that question..how long do you wait before you throw more over for your slick?

[thefishingfreak]

any bait works.
chum heavy, four or five pieces every 20-30 seconds and don't stop/forget when you hook up to keep chumming.
a 5 gallon bucket pre-cut will last the best part of a tide.

[MrHunters]

what about a chum bag? can you lower how much you put out and how often if you have a bag of frozen chum in the water?

ive tryed a couple chum slicks this year with not much success... of course i didn't fish a full tide...maybe just 2-3hours.

i don't chum, that brings in the doggs. you got to feed them or they won't stick arround long. keep chunkin and pick them off one/two at a time.
