How To Make Chum: Easy method for beginners

As I continue to learn the saltwater fishing after a lifetime of fresh water fishing, I'm making some simple chum to attract some baitfish for the bigger game. Of course there are dozens of ways to make chum and this is how I know to do it at the moment. As I gain more experience, this recipe is sure to change
Drop your comments, tips or suggestions so I can continue learning from those who know more!

After mixing all those different kinds of fish and stuff I would definitely not use water from the hose. Chlorine is absolutely a fish repellent. So I'd use the water from the area I wanted to fish. Other than that it looks pretty good. I used to make chum with a sausage grinder and any fish we had available, plus menhaden oil and oats or cat food. It called up the bait and we got sharks under the boat a few times. That was a long time ago in Florida. Now I live by the Chesapeake Bay and I need to try making chum again. It might turn the pier into a good spot.

Agreed. The water is actually filtered using those in line RV filters. However, the fish love it and it had great results. Although, it's probably just as cost effective (not to mention the time savings) just just buy frozen chum

Thats really the better way to do it.

The price he spent on all the ingredients it would have been cheaper to buy a block of chum.

[@SandhillCaptain]

You're probably right

[@jamescraig8601]

That's an expensive bucket of chum.

[@SandhillCaptain]

It actually wasnt too bad shopping for cheap ingredients and the cost can be driven lower by adding ground up caught bait vs canned. After buying bulk ingredients with plenty left over for future batches, this batch cost around $6-7. If you have a different method or more cost effective method, please be sure to share with me and/or post your video on the Get Aft'er It FB page @SandhillCaptain, I'm all for sharing everyone's methods!

[@yugoyankoff-vh7in]

A bag of frozen chum isn't cheap
