Good afternoon guys,

So we know that chum is alsorts of fish ect in a bucket, sack or a net bag, on the side of a boat to leave a sent trail in the water , for fish to follow and hopefully find your perfectly placed bait.

Fishing from the shore, do you still chum the water? I would say I do if I am targeting bass, at close range within the gutter, or find the places at low water that fish might feed over and put my chum there .

But if I am chasing something that needs a fair bit of effort to get the bait out as far as possible then no.

I was watching a very well known angler that made a video on chasing Ray's on Chezel beach, and one thing he advised to do was to cut up small pieces of bait to chum the water with , promptly went over to the water and chuck them in, but just cast his bait 100 plus meters away.

So do you chum or not, and what have you seen that has lifted your eyebrow.

Tight lines for the week ahead
