Haha....I chummed with catfood once and all it did was attract a bunch huge carps. Even caught a huge carp on a cut anchovy. Crazy. In all my times at Mead, we've only landed 2 carps by using anchovies. I was under the impression that they were all vegetarian. I guess not.
When it comes to chumming for stripers or catfish, nothing beats anchovies. Where there are stripers, there are usually a lot of catfish below. When I use top water action with the cut baits, I catch the stripers. But if I let the cut bait sink to the bottom, then I get catfish. Not a big fan of catfish so they're released immediately.
Best regards,
Paul
