Chumming for game fish made EASY! Want to catch more fish?
Want to start a feeding frenzy?
Chumming is the way the professionals do it. Chumming is the presentation of feed fish to predator fish that you are trying to catch. Obviously, if we drop a few fish into the water around the boat, they will be eaten so quickly that they cannot attract other fish with their smell or taste. A more effective way is to grind the fish into such small pieces that they cannot be eaten quickly or eaten at all. The area simply smells like good eating whenever a predator fish passes through.
How do we do this? We could buy any of the commercial chum that is available, but it's expensive and not very fresh. Why not make our own chum? All we have to do is acquire some trash fish (Bait houses, Shrimp boats, cast nets, etc) and grind them through the grinders available from Heinsohn's Country Store.
Heinsohn's has electric grinders for onshore chum manufacture (or boats equiped with 120 v.a.c.) with little effort. Click here to select from the wide selection available to you. Or, for economy, click here to select from the many manual grinders available.

The chum can be sprinkled overboard occasionally or suspended in a bag over the side of the boat. Obviously, the sprinkling takes more chum but it's much more effective.
Chumming for Kingfish has proven to be very effective. I'm not sure if they are attracted by the chum itself or the populations of smaller predators that are attracted. It's probably a little of both and I guess it really doesn't matter so long as the Kingfish are feeding.
Chumming for redfish is also effective and those reds really get stirred up by the chum. Redfish probably have a better sense of smell than other fish so they are attracted more easily.
Chum is easily made with the grinders but it is best to be ground with a coarse plate first and then reground with a finer plate. Those plates can be found if you click here!
We can also conveniently bag the chum with the bags and stuffing tubes found here! Those bags make chumming a little neater and much easier to freeze if you want to use it later. Smaller bags are easier to store and to thaw.
If your baitfish is too large to enter the grinder, select from the knives when you click here! .
