Chum chime in - Largemouth_kid - 06-07-2011
[bobdumb]So what do you all think out this. I got choves on the cheap, so I cut my bait hook size. But the chum idea. I know alot of ppl just throw choves out so I cut mine up real fine n packed em in an ice cube tray added water and froze. I'm thinking it's going to act as a time release. Give me your thought as I'll be making these all afternoon. I'll add stuff to it if your suggestions are good. Thanks!!!!

I've been reading chum recipe posts all around the web and I noticed alot of people add sand and or rocks lol. I think the stuff floats after its frozen, you need something to weigh it down.

Is it better to chum on the top or bottom?
I used a weighted mesh chum bag which I lower two feet below my kayak. I use chum bombs and canned fish-flavored cat food in the chum bag. Then about every 15 minutes, I agitate the chum bag releasing material into the water.
I was thinking about attaching the chum bag to the anchor line so it will hit bottom or be suspended where I attach the chum bag at some point on the anchor line.
