Thread: Anyone else chum Catfish holes?

Looks like you have been having a great season of catfishing! Great post Nimrod!!

I use sour maze but it is getting hard to find burlap sacks. Unless you want to pay a buck a piece at Tractor supply.

As long as there is no cutrrent, why use a bag ? The Catfish love soured grain and really bunch up the longer you feed them.

In Kansas I Use Soy Beans Soaked In Water Till They Stink Usually About A Week. Just Dump Some Out Where You Are Fishing. We Use Them On A Aberdine Hook But You Have To Be Careful Putting Them On They Will Break Very Easy. Some People Use Sponge Bait Also.

I haven't chummed... yet! After reading this, I'm making plans as we speak!

I keep a sack of sinking fish food (get it at the local Co-op) for quick outings. Through some in and in a couple of hrs, it gets pretty good. If you know you are going tomorrow, put 3 gallons or so in a 5 gallon bucket and fill it up with water. Let it set out in the sun till the next day. It will sour and speed up the scent coverage in the water. If the feed has been soaked it will break into tiny particles when it hits the water. This holds the fish longer as they search for the source of the scent.
