Hmm, I saw a video where Hayden Jeffries catches a Crappie on a piece of trash…

Some places chumming is illegal and unethical. Is chumming like baiting? Seems like fly fishermen are held in high regard. Not a bare hook, no live bait. Seems these questions have been around for a long time, eh? In the end, it boils down to is it legal, and does it satisfy YOUR standards. But differing opinions should be considered.

this ..... if it's legal and it makes you happy go for it ..... let's not forget all those that came before us to make it so .....in some spots around the planet things we banter over are possibly something that could go south in a bad way .....
ketched fish over the years using about anything that was lawful , some of those things are still in my bag of trix and might be employed when deemed needed to ketch .....
used trash myself one fine day on a white bass run , stopped at around 350 something because I was tired and lost count .....
a split shot and a single hook and a pc. of plastic bread wrapper off the bank .....and they were just flat out destroying it !
draws quite a crowd when you sling like that and to be sure lot's of laughs at my "bait" that day ....

I knew fellas once who used some old TA-312 military crank telephones to shock fish to the surface in their swamp pond. Those things (phones) sure put off a zap. Fer sur it was illegal….

I'm guessing Ketchn was posting this as a joke. But...i think use of an artificial jig would be considered more of a decoy than baiting. The baiting debate for hunting is about using natural food sources to attract the animals. Decoys are generally acceptable.
