Chum ?

You guys that chum holes what have you found the best to use? Ive tried oatmeal,ground dogfood,but doesnt seem to sink just right. Any ideas?

Chumming holes in Minnesota is illegal big time. Hefty fines are attached to the tickets you can get.

If its legal where you are, try ground up eggshells. I have put small amounts of glitter in the holes before and as it sinks can draw fish but there again, I am probably cruisin for the ticket bruisin too except it is not anything organic. The glitter was good for trout under the ice. I suppose the glitter would constitute littering, but who knows.

Thanks CTom Ill havta give it a try.

Here's what works for me.

I emailed the DNR in IL to make sure chumming was legal in IL, and here's the response I received.

Illinois has no laws dealing with feeding or chumming of fish in Illinois waters. Due to the threat of VHS disease to our waters, I would recommend not using crushed minnows or other fish. Minnows must be purchased from a certified disease free dealer or used on the same waters in which the fish bait was caught.
