MAKING YOUR OWN CHUM BLOCK FOR SNAPPER FISHING - A CHEAP BUT SUCCESSFUL RECIPE
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 09. 2020
- Have you ever looked at the bill when you are buying bait and chum in preparation for a big snapper fishing trip? That happens to me every time I go. A few years ago, I decided that I would do everything in my power to refrain from purchasing chum blocks for 9$, 10$, 12$ etc... and that I would start making my own. It took a little trial and error but eventually, we developed a simple recipe that works wonders and is very inexpensive. All we need is some eggs, flour, oats, vegetable oil, some bait fish and a little bit of elbow grease!
In this video, we will show you from start to finish exactly how we make our chum and then go slay the yellowtail snapper with it down in the Florida Keys. With one throw of our cast net, and 10$ worth of ingredients from the grocery store, we made 5 XL chum blocks. Our recipe holds for a long time as well lasting for a couple of hours before completely melting.
Let us know if you have any recipes for chum that you have found successful and we would be happy to try it out and let you know how it works.

CAST NETS
YOUR CAST NET IS ONE OF YOUR BEST FRIENDS - We use high quality nets because we rely on them to catch us bait. We always use lead weighted nets and small mesh size is very important. We like ¼” mesh. You will spend a little more but you’ll catch bait and keep them healthy! Here is a good brand of nets:
Wide Open Premium Casting Net, Mesh Cast Net, Bait Net, Superior Throw Net, Fishing Bait, Castnet, Catch More Fish, Bait Traps, 1-1.5lbs/Ft MAKE SURE YOU SELECT 6 FOOT - ¼” MESH.

😂I am literally trying to swat flies away while watching this haha 🤣 this is awesome 👏 good content! Thanks!
Hahaha!!! I know!! Thanks for watching.
Just a tip for cleaning the grinder. As you finish grinding dump, a bunch of ice cubes in it and grind it right into the bucket. It will end up rinsing out most of the leftover chum inside, then spray with the hose then WD-40.
that's a great idea. I will try that next time
You guys had so much fun. Love to see it!
Oh yeah. Thanks bro
Guys , I really enjoy your video . I i too make my own chum , but teaching your kids makes this an AWESOME video . Thanks for sharing it . .... By the way I hooked up an old electric motor and a pulley and make the whole thing a lot easier .
Hey thanks so much for the amazing compliment. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Doing life with the kids makes everything better! Thanks for sharing
You guys killed it, congrats. I can't wait to do some catching soon.
Fred Martinez I have a chum block still in my freezer with your name all over it
Lol, great
Good stuff . Keep it up.
Hey thanks a Buchet!!! Lots of cool how-to videos lined up!!! Thanks for watching
Another awesome video brother!! Bang!
Thanks so much bro!!!!
Thanks. I will use the recipe soon 🔥🔥🔥
Yes. Do it!!! You will catch
I use the plastic containers that the Turkey comes in from Aldi’s. Can stack them up in the freezer. When it comes time to use them, take off the lid, pop the chum out like an ice out of an ice cube tray and put two blocks in the chum bag. I use pilchards also, but I also throw in mullet, croakers, lady fish, Pinfish and have even thrown in a few salt water catfish.
Nice. I’ll look out for that type of container!!! Thanks for watching and for the comment
Awesome
Thanks man!
I love it Thanks...👍🏻
You bet. Let me know how it works for ya!!

@@watchyourlip3209 Welcome ❤
Hey bros, my wife and I have been fishing for about a year now and we tried tuna as our chum. we poke some holes in the tin then string a rope through it and we catch a lot of of chubs with that , it is awesome videos like these that encourages us to start our fishing channel which we did about 3 weeks ago . we mostly do shoreline fishing AS we don't have a boat but we'll try this and let you know how it works for us ... awesome video , thanks for sharing 💟
Bro!!! I’m glad the vid encourages you!!!! It’s a great hobby to do with your wife if she’s into it! That’s great!! I’ll check your channel out
thank you , she enjoys it, her number one to do .. appreciate the response
@@watchyourlip3209
I should go to the chum bucket
They know how to do it!!!
Certified Fish Classic.
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!!
@@watchyourlip3209 OH YEAH!
Thanks for the video! Can you do this with bonita or the leftovers after cleaning the fish you catch instead of just thowing it out?
With the grinder process fish bone?
Glad you like the video. It absolutely works with fillets of bonito and other fish. With the model that I have, it’s not a good thing to put large bones through it. It gets jammed up if you do. Sometimes if I’m trying to put larger bones through, I will crush them with a mallet first, and then run them through the grinder after.
@@watchyourlip3209 Great info. Thank you for getting back to me. I've got fish leftovers in the chest freezer that I refuse to throw out so I'm going to try this.
Take that Arizona tea plastic bottle, cut bottom off and use to funnel into grinder. Bonus, measure how many times filled and you can set recipe based on math not might be lol. Good stuff. Families that fish together stay together. Cheers.
Nice!! Thanks so much for the nice comment and for watching! blessings
@@watchyourlip3209 I tried the leaf shredder method last year after seeing on tube and saying brilliant. Wasn't as fine and bricks washed off quick. Came back to ye ole grinder and attached a used cheap corded power drill to and what a difference. We use the funnel trick and keep eyes on to add oats, eggs and oil. And we prefer the cardboard rounds like oats come in. But blocks also run well in dollar store laundry bag. One thing about the shredder was it ate carcasses without chopping up. Miss that. But just chop heads to feed into grinder and spines and tails will follow. Chum is EXPENSIVE in FL Keys, so we build banks all year and share where needed for our boats. Thats the next lesson for your son to see. I love that you have him in the mix and hope these tips help you all fill those freezers!!! Bless you to brother. Cheers.
@@herewegofans brother - thanks so much for the ideas. One of my next purchases will be a nice big freezer for the garage. I’d love to make a bunch of chum blocks. I just bought 6 blocks of chum for a fishing trip and it hurt how much it cost. I did it have space in the freezer to make my own this time!!!
Like chum blocks
Oh yeah!!!!!
Orange juice and milk cartons are great because when done, staple the tops back together
Very interesting.
One other thing I do is try to match the chum with what I am fishing with. For example, if I am primarily going to fish with shrimp, I add some shrimp in with the mix, if I going to to fish with squid, add some squid, Seems to help with the hits. I guess it would be like us smelling steak on the grill but all we are offered is chicken.
Good word bro. I agree. We make chum blocks out of sand fleas sometimes. We have a cool vid on that
Run a loaf of bread through it after you get done running the fish right in and help clean your grinder up
nice tip! thanks
Does fishing for different kind of fish requires different kind of chum? Or any chum will do?
That’s a great question. Certain fish that feed primarily on shellfish it would be better to use shrimp or crab meat in the chum for sure!
I do have a chum recipe of my own and I will put it on my you tube channel and share it
I’ll check it out. Thanks
Normally I disassemble the grinder
Agreed!!
So thats how plankton makes chum hmmm
Oh that Plankton!
where can I buy that bag, and what size is the shirt? . thanks
Run four pieces of bread thru at the end to help clean up time 👍👍🇺🇸
Oh sweet. I’ll try that!!!! Putting bread through the grinder!
Plankton will be proud watching this
Planktons my boy!!!! Haha!!!
Will this work in a pinfish trap to catch pinfish?
Great question. I would imagine it would. I don’t get many pinfish on my coast. I’d love for you to try it and let me know how it works
Mr krabs: 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 chum
Chum bucket all day!!!
That has to be an OSHA violation 🤣🤣🤣😎 using your hands on top of the grinder
Yeah man! Wouldn’t want to spread the rona to the snapper 😂😂😂
Put cotton in ..it heps hold together
Cotton? Really?!!!? That actually makes sense.
That sure looks good to eat I wonder how it taste that looks so yummy
Yea never mind
Dude. I was thinking about making burgers out of it and throwing them on the grill and making a video. I know that would be good video!!!!
Nice

I found out quick spanish sardines do not stay on a hook well.
Dude. Totally. Gotta keep them super cold - once they warm up they become mush
The chum in Spongebob looks less gross than in real life
Oh baby - I’m gunna make burgers one day and try it in a video! I’ll bet they’re not too bad!
Snapper meatloaf or fishloaf.
I was thinking about making a Chum burger!!
Plankton cook chum
Chum burgers
Buns
Hmmm...
Without oats and other grain, the chum will attract sharks and other predatory fish which can spoil your day
Good call!!!
I bet this kid watches SpongeBob pretty differently now.
Yeah man. They graduated from SpongeBob a long time ago! It’s fun and games with that now!
@@watchyourlip3209 Yeah. lol
Steak > all seafood
Maybe - but I don’t know how to catch a cow!
Take the gear n cutter Out As well...
For sure!!
you spelled cheap wrong in the title not trying to be rude lol
Good catch man. Thanks
Be carefull Broward limits cast net size to 7 feet.
Thanks. I’ve tried researching this and find different ordinances that seem to contradict each other. For instance: section 13-3 (a) says nets should not exceed 7 feet but section 13-5 (a) says you can use cast nets up to 9’ and 18’ spread in Broward county waters. On top of that, I see it common practice to use 10-12’ nets from vessels by recreational and charter captains.
It’s quite confusing. If you have clarity I’d love to get it so we don’t violate any laws.
@@watchyourlip3209 Its all so confusing. I ended up doing the 7 as the 500 dollar fine scared me lol but I just don't see FWC enforcing County ordinances though. Good video though
@@JVRottweil got it. Good call bro. Thanks for watching out for me
Shell is no different than bone or scales lmao
that's NASTY
Oh yeah!!
I think they rather have Krabby Patties instead.
All day!
Wtf, you have bones in there but afraid to put in the schells lll
