All I know is bonita, oil, mullet, anything else lying around, and I've heard of goat feed. Supposedly it soaks up the oils and floats...

I need to do a study to see wich of those it was that did the trick, or if it was a chemical compound created by the 2 that they loved!

Oats is one I have heard, to disperce it and spread it better. I have put sand, wich sinks and creates a taller love trail in the water colum.

You can get the catfish food at a feed store (Sharon's in Niceville); and the menhaden at Half Hitch Tackle in Destin.

If anybody is interested, I'll post a list of ingredients for "Capt. Ken's Elixir," along with tools you will need to make it.  "Capt. Ken's Elixir" is sort of a "dipping sauce" for specially modified jigs and flies.  Bigger batches make great chum.

Soaking chunks of cinder block in Menhaden oil gets fish attention without feeding them.  You won't need a chum bag either.  With cinder block, you chum from the bottom up.  I do the same thing with crab and shrimp chum when fishing for Sheepshead and Drum.

Life is too short to catch little fish.

Heck yeah I'm interested !! Post away. Include the crab chum for bluegill and shellcracker.

For dunking lures, all you will need is a 3" or 4" domed PVC pipe cap, 6" of 1/2 PVC pipe and a 1/2" domed Pipe Cap. 

What we are using here is a Mortar & Pestal.  The 3 or 4" pipe cap is the mortar and the length of 1/2" PVC pipe with cap is the Pestal.

Break the heads off 1/2 dozen live shrimp (or use whole Shrimp) and bash them in the Mortar.  Add a couple of TBsps of cheap cooking oil and 1/2tsp of non iodized salt.  You can squeeze the solid material out through a piece of cheese cloth or leave it in.  I do both.

Alternatively, use any kind of crab in place of shrimp.  Sand Fleas and Coquinas work too.  Pull the shell and pinchers off large crabs first.  Barnacles are fantastic but not easy to get.  Lobster heads are primo.

This stuff doesn't freeze well but will keep on ice for several days.

  This jig is a Pompano killer.

The little fuzzy thing on the  jig hook is a craft store "Pom-Pom."  It soaks up scent and releases it slowly.  I often rig one on a hook above my Pompano jig.

CHUM

For large batches for chum, go to Goodwill and pick up a $5 Blender. You will need several pounds of shrimp (just the heads work fine) or a dozen crabs.  After blending the crabs or shrimp heads with  several cups of oil, add the resulting mess to a couple of pounds of cooked rice (cool before adding shrimp or crab gloop) Mix thoroughly and chum sparingly.

I regularly catch 2# Bluegills and Shellcrackers.
