If you are a bass fisherman, then you will have heard of the term ‘chumming’. This term refers to the practice of using bait to attract fish. If you are a new bass angler, then you may not be aware of the advantages of chumming. Chumming can be very useful in many situations and it has been used for centuries. In this article, we shall look at the history of chumming and its uses.
Chumming was used by the early Native Americans. The Native Americans used to use small pieces of wood as bait to attract fish. They would also use dead animals or fish to attract fish.
The earliest record of chumming dates back to around 1500 BC. It was used by the ancient Greeks to attract fish. They used the carcasses of dead animals to attract fish.
Chumming became popular during the 16th century. This was when European explorers began to use dead animals as bait to attract fish.
In the 18th century, fishermen began using dead animals as bait to attract bigger fish. In the 19th century, the use of dead animals as bait was common. In the 20th century, the use of chumming as a method of fishing became more popular.
Today, chumming is still used by some fishermen. However, most people prefer to use live bait instead of dead animals. There are several advantages of using live bait over dead animals.
Live bait attracts fish much better than dead animals. This is because fish can smell live bait from miles away. Dead animals do not smell good. Therefore, they cannot attract fish. Live bait also smells much better than dead animals. Live bait is also much cheaper than dead animals.
Many people prefer to use live bait rather than dead animals because it is easier to control. Dead animals are difficult to control and are hard to keep on the bottom of the water. This makes them difficult to use. Live bait, on the other hand, can easily be kept on the bottom of the water and controlled.
Live bait also moves much faster than dead animals. This means that it is easier to catch live bait than dead animals.
Chumming is also useful for night fishing. Because dead animals sink slowly, they are difficult to catch at night. However, live bait can be easily caught at night. This makes chumming useful for night fishing.
Chumming has become more popular with the introduction of electronic fish finders. These fish finders allow fishermen to locate the location of fish. This is useful because it allows them to target the exact area where fish are likely to be found.
Chumming can be used for fishing in any type of water. It is possible to use chumming in rivers, lakes, ponds, and even oceans. However, chumming is most commonly used in freshwater lakes.
It is important to note that chumming should only be done in areas where there are no fish. If you use chumming in an area where fish are present, you may end up catching them. This can be very dangerous.
Chumming should be done in areas where fish are likely to be present. You can also use chumming to attract fish to your lure. This will help you to catch more fish.
It is important that you follow the correct procedure when chumming. This is necessary so that you don’t get into trouble with the authorities.
