Anyone make catfish chum buckets

[dpg481]

Ive been thinking about baiting some holes to make the catfish catching for the kids a little easier and I have been thinking about some sort of a chum bucket. I did a search here and I didn't find anything. Ive made catfish chum before out of fermented grain and corn that I just poured out when we got to the hole, but I'm thinking a bucket with a lid and holes all around it filled with chum will last longer. Please share what works for you if you have any experience with this method.

Horse and mule sweet feed and or cattle range cubes. Just dump in a smaller general area and after about 30 minutes acitivity will pick up greatly.
If your going to be chumming in moving water, I recommend taking a bucket with lid and drill a few holes in the bucket and put your chum in it, then sink. I normally tie it off to a stump are tree and just fill it up day prior to fishing. When you get there to fish just dump a couple coffee cans of fresh chum and then your off to the races.

I also have a buddy that is a firm believer in soured maize.

Works on Lake Waco and Brazos River well.

3ft of 3" pvc pipe with one end capped and the other end with a screw on cap, drill a bunch of 3/8" holes and put 20% cattle cube it and attach a rope to it to retrieve it. Channel cat will act like hogs on a piece of pipe full of corn. And it's reusable

This is what I did in the past with 4". Set them in the slow moving cow house creek up stream of my dads drop lines

Do you put it out the day before?

[teamron]

I have quite a few of them. Put one out day before and depending on how long I want that hole to be active I will slip in another one. I usually try to keep 3 or 4 spots baited. The nice thing is when your done just unscrew the cap and rinse a throw them in the boat and go.

I've used non-floating fish baskets. And sometimes minnow buckets. I placed broken up cotton seed cake in the basket and let it sink. Channels love the stuff. Not so much the cubes. But the cake works really well.

I just get a 5 gallon bucket, pour maize in it, with a can of beer, and fill the rest of the way with water. put the lid on and let it sit in the sun for about 30 days and it will be ready. Get a coffee can to scoop and throw the chum with. it works great!
