How To Make Fish Chum With Dollar Tree Mesh Laundry Bag
In this KZread video I show how to make chum for fishing using things I purchased at the dollar tree. I take you through the entire process, start to finish. When finished, I even take the frozen chum bag out on a fishing adventure and demonstrated how well it works. This project was a huge success, inexpensive and easy to make.
Things you need:
1. Blender or food processor
2. Fish, shrimp, chicken or whatever you desire to grind up to put in your chum basket
3. A mesh laundry bag from the Dollar Tree
4. Some laundry cloths line chord from the Dollar Tree
5. Something to weight the chum line down with so it stays on the bottom if you are bottom fishing
I could have gotten away with making this a really cheap adventure if I'd not purchased three ten ounce let fishing weights to sink the chum basket with.
Here's how to make chum for fishing:
1. Save all of your junk fish
2. Chop or grind them up using whatever appliances or grinders you have
3. Scoop the fish chum into your Dollar Tree mesh bag
4. Wrap the mesh bag with a plastic bag and place it in the freezer
In the end, I love the way the whole project went. The end result was an awesome chum bag that didn't cost a lot of money.
Next time you are out fishing and you catch junk or trash fish, consider keeping a few of them to use as ingredients in your chum bag.

There's a sight to see! Fish chunks flipping around in a blender!
Bro!!! Did your wife kill you for using her kitchen appliances to make chum??😅😂🤣
I bet your wife loved that idea haha
Awesome video.. thank you.. I'll be following your idea..👍👍👍👍
That blender will never be right again... I almost never buy weight. I metal detect here and there in the wet sand. It's an amazing source of lures, and lead. Been doing it for a while now and I have a decent 5-gallon bucket of lead. I like to see things re-used.
I save those plastic mesh bags that onions and oranges come in. They are free and don't absorb chum stink as much as the cloth bags.

Good ideal
good idea been wanting to try it, the sand also sparkles like fish scales 🐟
I buy my lead weights online from the Lead Bandit. Huge savings. PS Either you are single or your wife will not be happy with you using the blender to mix up chum.

Ha ha...I clean a lot of fish in the kitchen too.
Empty onion bag from local grocery store will do just fine. I'd mix some sand with chum for weight.

Several people have suggested that. I don't cook with onions, single guy, not a great idea when you want to pick up chicks!

cooked onions don't make your breath as bad and are good for you 🐟
Could’ve grabbed a jar of minced garlic while you where at dollar tree fish love it
Dollar Tree also has bags of round stones you can add for weight.

Great idea. I purchased those heavy lead weights, spent too much on them.

Good question. I don't remember. I'm guessing maybe more toadfish. That's where I had caught some of the ingredients for the chum. Thanks for watching and asking.
Do you think I can use just shrimp for a chum bag for sheepshead?

Thanks for sharing. It was a fun video to make.
Maybe a dumb question but why not just use a bucket with holes in it? U can wash it off and store it easy.

pulling a bucket in with water is heavy, even with holes....
Didn't see any fish caught.
does it work any fresh water fish as well?

I think it would Jim with some different ingredients.
You didn't show us your catch
WHEN YOU FREEZE THE MESH BAG IN THE PLASTIC BAG IN THE FREEZER, WHEN YOU ARE READY TO USE IT, DOES THE MESH BAG POP OUT OF THE PLASTIC BAG EASILY?

Why not chicken?
Sorry - accidentally hit the thumbs down. Not even sure why they have that option available. If you don’t like the videos - don’t watch them. Lol.
