Also known as Advanced Chum Making 102.

 

 First freeze your bait of choice. I prefer to freeze finbait in a large trash bag so that I can periodically loosen them up into single units for easier handling. Bounce the bag on the ground prior to grinding. This also breaks them up into singles. Squid I freeze into blocks and sawzall into manageable chunks, just like the movie villain in Fargo.  Either type as fresh dead does not work as well in this system. It is too soft.

I got mine at Harbor Freight. It is the 2-1/2 horsepower wood chipper. They sell it for $140.00 plus tax. Turn it on and insert chosen pre-chum as fast as you can.  Occasionally you may clog or bind the chipper up.  Remember to disconnect power after turning off as a double safety. This 5+ gallons of Sardine/Mackerel mix took about 5 minutes to chop into a fine chum.  It then fit into 1 gallon buckets that I get from the A/C guys at construction sites. They are for the caulking they seal the ducts with.

Remove power cord and wash off. I leave the top blue piece unattached for easier cleaning and de-clogging. I let it dry, re attach the power cord and run while I spray the exposed metal with WD-40. I still have my large hand grinder, it is a no.32 and works great on the boat, but this is sooooo  much easier.

Most fishermen know that chumming is not just for shark fishing. Take a couple of buckets hung over the side while your boat is positioned up current from a kelpline. Watch as the baitfish build up in the chumslick. When they disappear, somethig big is around.

yeah buddy. thats gotta be better than mashing chum all day on the boat.

I like it !!!
Sure beats cranking on the hand grinder..
