try putting your chum bait in a piece of pantyhose. It won't bust.
thanks john ill try that next time. i suspeded it today about 15 ft down in 40ft of water. i did notice some bait fish in the area that seemed unusual for this spot and did catch 4 or 5 crappie. its a good spot for crappie anyway so i dont know if it helped or not.
one thing it will do is attract minnows and shad. that's to your advantage. chumming with dog food has worked for me before. good luck, buddy.
when I night stalk I will put the dry food in a blinder and mix in some fish oil (dont tell the wife:eek: ) and them I use a small cup and throw it out every 15 minutes or so, it does bring in the bait, have caught crappie, striper, and catfish all in the same night. watch out for the striper, they will tangle all your lines in a hurry
Hey bama, I've use the floating catfish food, a large bag will last for many trips and works very well. I soak it in a bucket where it turns to mash. Baitfish, catfish and crappies all come in. The old timer who told me about it would just pour about a coffee can amount in the water, wait about a half hour then have fun, he would chum like this at the same time each day and yes crappie do come to the dinner bell daily.
