What Brand and Type of Dog Food?

A common method of chumming for catfish is to punch several holes in a
couple cans of dogfood and toss them in the area where you are fishing. I
would never ever do that because it would leave those old cans in the river
or lake where you were fishing. Recently I read a suggested method for
doing this that not only allows you to clean up your mess, but also keep
track of your chum cans if there is any current. When you punch the cans
you slide a heavy cord through a couple of the holes and tie it to a float
like a milk or water jug with a screw on cap. Now it sounds like a method I
might try since I would not leave litter behind, but I am curious what brand
and type of dog food would work best. I'm thinking one of the pastey kind
rather than a chunky kind would slowly dissolve and put particles out into
the water more steadily..

WE have been doing that for Many years, you can just tie the end of the
cord to the bank, now if you want to even improve that, put 7 to 13
1/4 inch holes in the top of the milk jug, (the tapered part) fill the
jug with "dry" dog food, this will be slowly released

Now it sounds like a method I

You want to use the cheapest dog food you can find,, as that will always
be the non chunky type.


Now on the jug feeder, you also use cheap dry dog food, it can also be
submerged, by placing another hole up the side about half way, and use a
rock to hold it down,, it will still stand up to allow the feed top
slowly be released

PS

2 and three litter drink bottles work as well

If you're fishing from a boat just tie off the cans on the boat cleats.

We use a modified deer feeder to keep the cats around. A chute was rigged so
the corn/dog food goes into the water and is not dispersed 360 degrees. It
drops about 8 ounces at 5 o'clock every day. We fish about there twice a
month. Nice 2-3 pounder channel cats.

Doh! I should have thought of that.

That I had thought of. If I owned a property with a dock I would have done
something like this myself. I had thought of trying to do something like
that back in the tulies, but I suspect it would just casue problems when
other anglers or hunters stumbled across it.

In many places, its illegal to chum to attract fish, for any reason.
Always consider the source of your info,
and check with the authorities in your State.

We use a adapted deer agriculturalist to accumulate the bodies around. A channel was chic so the corn/dog aliment goes into the baptize and is not broadcast 360 degrees. It drops about 8 ounces at 5 o'clock every day.
