Chesapeake Bay fishing has not

about gone. 50 that pan-sized rock
fish, trout and blueflsh are claim
ing more attention, along with
the ubiquitous spot and white
perch. Chuming with ground
menhaden, which is coming more
and more into use in the upper
bay. has been greatly simplif1ed
by canned, freshly caught and
ground chum, which can be pur-
chased at most sports stores. The
old method, and we believe prefer
able in some respects, was to buy
the fish fresh from the pound
meters, grind the fish into a
bucket after the fatbacks had
been cut out for bait. However the
canned ground menhaden has been
proved fish getter, and the effort
saved by using 1t is worth a lot.
You're cautioned not to set up a
chum line slick with the wind
blowing against the tide. Your
slick will run one way and the
chum another, which is confusing
both to fish and anglers.
