Going in a chum derby next month. Looking for some good chum tips.

dead slow...purple/silver flasher, and any pink/purple/blue hootchy combos (I was using commercial hootchies - think they were J300 and MB100 or something along those lines. Many put a spin and glo infront as well. I typically caught them 50-80' and well, just look for the boats - usually either Separation or Plumper depending on tide (can't remember which thou, been a while).

They are more fun to catch in the river. On a fly rod. Egg sucking leech.

Salmon university has an article on catching chum

First I'd check the weather, then I'd actually get out of the arm chair and go give it a try.

I fish almost the same as I normally do but with black, blue and pink gear. I run fairly normal length leaders unlike some the use short ones. I use regular hootchies, squirts and spoons. I like tandom hooks while many use singles, but I have seen some people use small trebles.

So really it's just salmon fishing. What is there to know. Get out there, get the lines wet and catch fish.

Good Luck,
