Making chum
I got out of my freezer some blue back herring from last year and put it through a meat grinder, (filled a 6 gal bucket!)
I put the chum in some old 9er rig tubes, cap them and put them back in the freezer.
When I use them, while still frozen, I drill a ton of holes in the tube, and a hole through the top cap, going through the cap and tube and tie a line through the hole to tie it off or drop it to the bottom , makes a cheap chum bucket !
I'm wondering what or if anyone adds to their chum, as in fish oils, kolsher salt, ect.....
Thanks.
Ron

Maybe I'll mix in some Mexican jumping beans too just for the vibrations.

when chumming to keep the mackerel around, I use cooked white rice and ground herring. The rice keeps the chum from just sinking to the bottom. Some guys use uncooked oatmeal for the same effect.
Last year I saw a guy who had a 2 liter Pepsi bottle full of chum and holes. He tied the rope to it and the other end of the rope to a rock and let it crash around in the surf. Antone heard of or seen this?

Sand allows the chum to cover the water column by pulling some of it down instead of having it just float on the surface.

 Don't add anything to my chum!!!
It dosen't stay on the surface!!!
Don't need glitter!!! waste of money!!!
A tote of herring for $16.00 makes eight 2 1/2 gallon buckets!!!
to add bread crumbs cost to much money!!!
If you have a bread maker in your area you can buy old bread for about $.10 a loft to add to your chum!!!  |
