Chum thread

Post by 3footvis » Fri Nov 09, 2012 1:46 pm

Thought I would start a Chum thread. Interested to see any pics of hawg chums landed this year.

Told myself I wasn't going to keep any chums this year, but felt differently once I landed him. Going in the smoker.

why, just go try em all, take note which ones work and which ones dont... [biggrin] just kidding. With my limited experiences its greens and pinks. Good luck.

Been hearing a lot about them Chico fish. Chromers huh... might try it out tomorrow, I plan on hitting a couple of small streams, well creeks, on that side.

As for to dark, he isnt in to bad of shape, no black on his belly. Cant be that long in the fresh water.
