Freshwater chum recipe?
« on: April 17, 2012, 09:59:39 AM »
So....my local lake is one of the few that is LEGAL to chum. It is not species specific....kokes, trout, gills....chumming is chumming. So...I'm thinking on my next outing with my son we will anchor up in some fish looking water and broadcast some chum for perch/trout/panfish.

Anyone have any good recipes for me?

Corn mixed with some fish meal. I would think that taking the feed that they use to raise the trout with should work pretty well and than throw some corn out there to keep the little buggers interested.

We used to take a bunch of cluster eggs (Those nasty looking ones they sell will work if you dont have anything better) mix it with oat mill. It sinks slow and filters out and leaves white streaks. It worked great for the slimmy fish, probably not to good for the pan fish though.

If you happen to be going for catfish, just take an empty milk jug to your local butcher and have him fill it with blood.  Take it home and freeze it.  Poke a bunch of holes in it, tie a rope on and toss in the water.

Nowhere in your incoherent rambling did you come close to what can be considered a rational thought. Everyone is now dumber having heard it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

Good idea. Not sure how many catfish are in lake stevens. Mainly targeting perch and bluegill....maybe some bonus trout.

 :yeah: That's hot for perch at my local  "chum" lake. And we always get a few decent rainbows that can't resist mixed in too.

When I was a kid panfishing at Potholes Res was really hot. Most people would filet on the boat. The you could catch 2-5 pound rainbows stuffed with perch and crappie remains.

I actually tried some chopped up carcasses in a net bag. It worked but was messy and more trouble that it was worth.The tuna is clean and pretty cheap. Catfood might do the trick also.

H20, There are catfish in our lake.  I've done best on them when working the south side of the lake.  Usually a little later in the spring is best for them.  Not many people target them.  Real good eating...

I was expecting something completely different when I clicked on this thread.

I'm glad I was wrong.     :)

Poke some hole in a can of Cream Corn and tie it to a sting in the water under the boat. Grab the string every once in a while and lift up to shake out some corn and scent.

H20,  If you want to have the starts of a good stinkbait chum attractant for the local catfish, I'll give you a good start for the base ingredients.  Liver and Tuna.  Use your imagination for the rest of the mix.  It really isn't rocket science.   

  The idea you have with depthbreak is spot on.  Think about doing a night fish.  They are more aggressive then.   :fishin:

:yeah: Referring to the salmon? That's what caught my interest.
