Check out the Nevada Striper Club website, I have posted my "chum bomb" recipe there.
The key to chumming up fish is to keep the chum going.
Use the heads and tails. Throw out a handful of pieces every 10-15 minutes. This will attract or redirect the fish to your location.
Corn may also be used but only at Lake Mead.
Get a Blender (for chum only) and throw in some anchovies and/or Sardine mix in some spray attractor, garlic, anise, WD-40 and fill the rest of the container with water.
Next is like making a Margarita with crushed ice or a smoothie.
Pour into 6-8oz paper or plastic punch cups and place in the freezer. If the wife doesn't permit this get a freezer for the garage. Also a new blender for the house.
Don't make the chum to thick or you will burn up the motor.
Chum till they come, should only take about a hour or less. Remember to keep chumming as you are catching fish. If you stop chumming the fish will leave.
Don't throw the cups in the lake. Peal the cup off the chum bomb and throw the solid chum airborne.
Or let it melt a bit and sling it like in the movie "JAWS"
Oh, and yes the Overton Arm is the place to be right now.
Temple Bar may be good too. (Striper Bay, Burrow Bay and Temple Bay)
Look to Bonelli Landing for some good topwater.
