if you catch fish it's great to potlick once in a while, if you just enjoy beauty as god designed it , you watch women, dressed or undressed or if you're strange you watch birds. remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. those people are just afraid of being attacked by those monster turtles.

I will share a little secret that a very very well known shark fishing legend told me about 20 years ago. The best chum in the world can be bought at HEB in the dog food isle. Alpo "beef and liver" in the can. Take it out of the can and freeze it. Then just throw it out into the gut and let it melt away. You will have sharks pretty quick.
later,
Ernie

The chumming does work. I picked up a load of guts from a fish market, froze them in dixie cups after grinding them up. Kept throwing them out throughout the trip w/o the dixie cups. Sort of like the dog food it slowly melts away in the water.

Funny thing is we must of had close to a couple hundred birds working it every time. Every car that drove by would see the birds and then get out about 50 yards down from us. Once the chum was gone, the birds left and then the people would leave.

I had made a 2 foot container out of PVC with holes on a dog chain to put these in. However, we found better results by just tossing the chum out by hand.

We did pretty well on reds and smacks but no sharks. The problem is around the 3rd day the frozen guts would start to thaw in the ice chests and turned into one heck of a mess.

What also works well is saving the heads from any shrimp you cook. I'll take the heads and smash them up and freeze them in the cups. My wife cant stand opening the freezer but she likes what they catch. They thaw much quicker in the water and ice chest than the guts.

If you use big bait it works like chum as the bait fish and crab eat it. We tried with 15 gallons of pigs blood no luck on that trip. We have tied a large fish that we got from Port A fish barrels with a rope through the eyes and around the tail so it would rub ageist the rigs barnacles like a giant cheese grater and have had great luck offshore.
