How to chum the right way
The idea behind chumming is simple: a steady scent trail in the current leads fish to your baits. At sea it works especially well for bottom fishing and for targeting bigger predators from an anchored or drifting boat.
A chum bag or cage is filled with minced fish, fish pieces or another attractant. You can lower it to the bottom with a weight or tie it to the side of the boat, where the current and the waves wash the scent out. The size of the holes in a cage controls how quickly the chum is released, so a finer mesh lasts longer.
Scents and oils go straight onto the bait, a jig or a soft lure. They can make a fish hold on to the bait a moment longer, which gives you more time to set the hook.
Start chumming as soon as you arrive at the mark and keep the trail unbroken, because a gap in the trail can send the fish elsewhere. Check the direction of the current so the scent drifts over the spot you are fishing, and read up on the local rules before you begin, as chumming is restricted in some waters.
