And as for chumming, it absolutely works! I remember catching bait a few weeks ago and it was slow. I saw some guy reeling up 3-5 greenbacks at a time, every drop... Every few drops, he would mix up his chum. I started talking to him and sat near him and got all the bait I needed for the day in just a few minutes. I think he was eating them of saving to make frozen bait because I didn't see a bait tank, and even if he had one, it was way to small to hold that many.

I believe your referring to me. I do not eat bait!! And I have a Hobie bait tank that I loaded up with about twenty Greenbacks. Enough for the day and some to chum for the next outing. I fill the tank to the top and the lid closed and the macs keep just fine as long as you they don't get injured while unhooking..
