I knew a old man who said when he was little he would fish a spot at a creek all summer. To keep them biting he would hang something dead in the tree line and the flies would blow it. Maggots would fall in the water for weeks and keep the bluegills chummed in the area.
Loved bream fishing with Granddad using bamboo poles back in the 1950's. Miss him a lot, but take family and foster kids bream fishing these days. Corn also works good for bream and fried chicken skin drives them crazy.
Enjoyed the video, always do. I've got a little trick for you Keith and anyone who reads comments. I don't bother to shoot video but I think you'll like this chum tip. I have to thank my dearly loved and much missed mother for this one, she had to have been thinking of me! She passed last Fall and I decided to clean house around holiday season. With heavy heart I entered her bedroom with a fresh kitchen size trash bag. First thing I encountered were some useless folded "delicate" bags and they were headed straight to the trash bag until I thought about my minnow trap. Hmmm? So I sat on the foot of her bed and further examined these things and looking at the hole in the zipper pulls. Perfect chum bags! You can use a cheap stringer or leftover fishing line and a pointy stick and they're cheap as dirt online. I make no promises and I've caught no slabs but I am catching bait.
My favorite way to fish for Bream is with a ultra-lite spinning reel on a 5' carbon fiber lite action rod, spooled with 4 lb Fireline. That line is so thin, you can use a hook and no weight or float and still cast a cricket a long way for some fun top water action with Bream. Crickets are my go to bait for Bream. Fishing with a ultra-lite setup makes it even more fun. Hook a big bluegill and you are in for a ride!
I've been experimenting with different chum concoctions over the years. Im now grinding up dog food and mixing it with flour. I wet it and roll into a ball. Bake it till firm and freeze it. Not just good food gills, but catfish too.
Is very important to throw them freebies to get them on a feeding frenzy and then you do the old switcheroo and throw in your hook and get your fish 😃. I learned these watching fish in the park people always throw bread at them and you see a big school of fish going crazy.
Great video Keith, unfortunately your thumbnail came up at the same time as a fishing video with 2 babes with awesome hooters. After thinking about it for about a nanosecond I clicked on that one first and had to sit through it to the end (actually had to watch part of it twice) before I could click on yours ! 😜 They didn’t even catch a fish 😂.
When I was very young I went to summer camp for 2 weeks. Could do ALL kinds of activities. My favorite of course was FIShING. Camp counselors would give us slices of white bread. WORKED GREAT!
Amazing video brother! I went fishing with my cousin a month or so back we stopped by our local gas station for some home made biscuits and gravy before hitting the water; long story short I ended up throwing my leftover biscuit pieces into the pond jokingly said I was adding a little chum to the water…. I caught 25 bream and a few bass In a hour, some of the most fun I’ve had panfishing. It all makes sense now, love your content and stay blessed.
Nice video 🎣. Us Carp Angeles call that pre baiting ( ground bait) , add chopped up worms 🪱 or micro pellets to your mixs. Helps keep the fish grubbing around in 1 or 2 areas 😃👍. Even cheaper is , horse feed Bailey #1 . $20 for a 25kl bag, will last you a year 😉👍
A local hotel and smorgasbord in Lancaster, Pennsylvania had a large pond behind it with a promenade around it. Guests would feed the ducks and geese that resided there from gumball machines stocked with bird meal pellets. What was underneath the birds was a massive school of sunfish or brim. I remember walking along the bank and watching the school follow us . The school was roughly 5' - 6' wide and about 25 - 30' long. The water was boiling with fish! Sadly that restaurant/ hotel went out of business and I haven't been there since. I would have loved to fish there.
Thank you for sharing your memories. Likewise, I too started out fishing with family and friends who would set up a small pole with whatever we could find for bait, and we'd catch a mess of bream. I still love doing it now, and I love to take younguns out for the thrill of Bream fishing. I love watching their little faces light up with excitement every time they hook up. And the people on the other side of the lake must love hearing them too, 'cause I can hear some laughter every time. God bless you, take care, and stay safe.
One thing to mention on top of your tips is to put some fine sand in the mixture, it brings the chum down quick and it won't be eaten all away till it hits the ground. Oat meal and all rolled (pressed) grains work. Works not only in the Netherlands during fishing competitions in the deep channels. Keep the good stuff coming!
This is great advice. I always had great luck in the spring and summer catching a variety of fish. Come fall I can barely make a video to post. Thanks for the great info!!👍🏻
When I lived on a residential lake. I would buy a bag of floating fish food (similar to Trout Chow), and would feed the fish a few handfuls, a few nights a week. And then on the weekend, we would brake the fly rods out. (I had already made some floating flys, that matched the fish food 😉) I would start a feeding frenzy, with the floating food. We would catch all sorts of fish, but we were really after the catfish and carp. I finally caught and released a 25 lb. Carp, on the fly rod. And that fight was FUN! 👍🏼😲 So... YES to chumming. It works good!
Just get a can of dog food and put a bunch of holes in it and throw is as far as you can cast. I'm a bass fisherman here and if I was going fishing for food to eat I would definitely go after Crappie and Sauger.
Small dog food bag with holes poked in it works well. I go to my spot the day before and toss the bag out. They hit it and get small portions and the food leaks a smell. The next day I come I get hits all day
Leftover rice from Chinese takeout works great too. I like using my fly rod for brim. Usually it's the more aggressive ones that bite and it works well until the surface freezes.
When i go to Reelfoot lake in Tennessee where they have HUGE bluegills (bigger than a man sized hand) i chum the water with this... in a 5 gallon bucket i mix 4 gallon sized cans of sweet corn kernels i get at sams club and mix in a 2 large cans of garlic powder and sea salt (also from sams) then i take 8 containers of chicken livers, liquefy them in a blender and pour that in the bucket. Mix it all up then let it set for a few hours (preferably in the sun, the longer the better) before i use it. That mixture attracts EVERYTHING... bluegills, catfish, carp and crappies. I spend like $35 for it all but the return in fish caught during the week we're there is well worth it!!!
BREAM is my favorite fish to eat. I like to fry them just until you can pull the meat off the bone and then I fix them just like a Salmon Paddie. Make your Paddies and freeze them then you can drop them in a skillet with some butter until it gets warm and crusty and make a Fish Samich. I have never thought about chumming BREAM. GREAT idea! I'm looking at Tamkara Rods for Breaming ... AND we're moving to Northern Arkansas near the White, Buffalo & Little Red Rivers. TROUT! Thanks for the great vids!
Great video! Thanks for all of your help. The small small size floating catfish food works great also. Keep the great info coming and have a blessed day, my friend. PB
Keith, where have you been all my life? You are the funniest, smartest, and handsoXXXX hold off on that last one my friend. Really enjoying all your up loads.
Peanut butter also helps to make grits and oatmeal stick together.. I really throw random extra food that i find in the pantry.. for the Brim/Blue Gill
Fishing N Stuff I use oatmeal alot for bream an corn. I love your diy videos help me make alkt of pole holders keep them how to videos comein budd an fish on budd
An ol timer trick I read about said they'd hang a dead critter from a tree limb or pole over the water. When the maggots get at it they fall in the water and you have a school of bream waitin to get at anything that hits the water even awhile after the critters long gone. I ain't never tried it but it was interesting anyhow. I know we couldn't get em to bite worms and slim Jim beef jerky worked real good a few times. Y'all stay safe and God bless
I started to talk about that trick too . But I didn't have time to decay a animal for my video lol . I did shoot a groundhog out back a week ago . I could a hung him up haha
Thanks for nuthin', FnS! I threw my chum into a lake the other day and now he says he's never goin' fishin' with me again. I did learn that bluegill could be used for bait in KY. I always thought they were game fish. I may try the chum and cast net deal sometime.
Hahaha not your buddy , different kind of chum lol . That's hilarious . Bluegill are game fish here but we can use em for bait , we just can't catch em with a cast net . But you can use a cast net in KY
I concur. I own a private pond and chum frequently mostly with bread and dog food. It is a dinner bell turn on. Btw: I puchased a Fishin N Stuff T-shirt, black with the logo. Looks sexy and is comfy.
In wisconsin you catch them in spring because they come to shallows to spawn. Bigger too. Then move deeper and scatter more. Their not smart. Just move with water temp. Can catch little ones all year long all over for bait. Never tried chumming for them . Gonna try it. Have to check if its legal here first. 😊😊 tight lines
Something that’s worked good for me is if you go at the same time every day, and right before you throw your bread or fish food or whatever in, you make some noise with your bucket. Knock it on the rocks or the pier or something. It’s like ringing the dinner bell. After about a week, I knock with the bucket and they come running!
hahahaha Yeah I've chummed them a lot using bread to fill them up so the little piranhas will stop chewing on you while you're floating around in the water trying to enjoy a cold brew. Vicious little priks those bream are! lol
Great as always! Have you any suggestions or would you make a dyi for a fish and game cleaning bucket to help wash fillets. Curious out of all the videos I seen, on how would you put one together.
@@FishinNStuff I'd be pretty interested in seeing how you would improve on the concept. With Covid restrictions the way they are, the outdoor DIYs are a great way for me and the kids to have some fun. Thanks and keep them coming brother!
On my 1 1/4 acre pond I have a dock from which I employ a fish feeder that dispenses high protein floating catfish pellets (for my bluegill) every day at 8 am and 6 pm. When it goes off it looks like a school of piranha in attack mode for the next few minutes. I bluegill fish with an ultra-light spinning outfit with a RoadRunner, and i usually do pretty well until the feeder goes off, and then they totally ignore it. Perhaps it's because the pellets float, but I retrieve the RoadRunner relatively shallow. Otherwise, I enjoy my bluegill and routinely catch 1+ pounders, and, yes, they are deliciious!
You can actually do that anywhere . It's call pyramid baiting . I read an article about it in the 90s . It said bait a hole everyday for 2 weeks and don't fish during that time . And you'll train the fish to be there at that time everyday . And bigger fish will move in over time After 2 weeks start fishing
McDonald's French fries are great carp bait also. Rub your hands with McDonald's fries to take the scent off your hands before you put spoons down on your downrigger to catch salmon/trout
Bluegill are my favorite panfish to catch and eat. Buy some Pillsbury dough , roll it into little balls and they love that too . Once you get ‘em feeding in a frenzy, And then I put little balls of dough on a small hook … bam !
Here's something I discovered by mistake but that's how I usually learn. In the fall when the lake turns over it can cause a muscle kill. Usually muscle beds are in the outside bends of the river but you'll see em floating up. It'll look like cotton balls floating by (you didn't know all cottons were males did ya) Pick up several dead muscles to drop back down. I use 4lb line, an 1/8 oz split shot, and bend a right angle in the hook shank to keep em from swallowing it. It'll never hit the bottom before a big bream hits it and they are big. You want your boat positioned near the bottom of the slope. Just drop straight down, on the Tennessee River that's about 25'. After you locate a few of these muscle beds take a couple hundred crickets and the kids with ya. You'll have a ball. You're welcome
I knew a old man who said when he was little he would fish a spot at a creek all summer. To keep them biting he would hang something dead in the tree line and the flies would blow it. Maggots would fall in the water for weeks and keep the bluegills chummed in the area.
Old native American Indian trick!
Used meat netting and an old chicken let I rot in the air so no other animals would mess with it
Loved bream fishing with Granddad using bamboo poles back in the 1950's. Miss him a lot, but take family and foster kids bream fishing these days. Corn also works good for bream and fried chicken skin drives them crazy.
I almost chummed when I saw a new FishinNStuff video! 🤷🏼♂️😂
Great stuff Mr. Keith!
I used your idea of making a cooler live well. We filled it with brim last night. 👍

Been using light bread in perch traps since I was a youngster, works great.
Thanks, gonna try the oatmeal today! I'll let you know how that goes. I'm after a brim, that's gonna be bait for a big cat or bass!
This is great advice. I always had great luck in the spring and summer catching a variety of fish. Come fall I can barely make a video to post. Thanks for the great info!!👍🏻
I can always catch bluegill, even in the dead of winter through the ice.
They make a good musky and northern bait too.

My dad and I were just discussing a bluegill problem. Keith, you boss!
Hey thank you for watching , I think your boss
I love fishing for blue gills or bream if you are south of Mason-Dixon Line. They fight as good as large mouth bass on a ultra light fishing set up.
That they do
Crickets do pretty good around lake norman down to Wylie in NC

Floating catfish food works good also , soak it and it will dissolve and disperse when tossed in or used in a chum bag
They're bream here in Mississippi too.
As a kid we use to just put a few flakes of cut oats on a hook to catch brim.
You are so full of. GOOD IDEAS
Thought I was going to say something else at first.love your channel
Lmbo
Ive been using bread to chum and then throwing a tiny white trout magnet jig with a bobber.
Thank you
I HAVE BEEN ALL THROUGH YOUR DIY VIDS BUT I DIDN'T SEE ANY KAYAK DOLLY DIY!!! IT SURE WOULD BE AWESOME IF I DID!! 😂
Awesome, as usual! Thx.
Like your vids. You cut to the chase some guys think we got all day
To watch them!

Something that’s worked good for me is if you go at the same time every day, and right before you throw your bread or fish food or whatever in, you make some noise with your bucket.

You got me rolling !!! Awesome videos 😂

As usual ,video is awesome...
Minuit rice in mackerel oil it works real good too.
Good info fam smart to use oatmeal thanks for sharing
Excellent idea for faster bites. Going to try this next time I go out for bait.

When it goes off it looks like a school of piranha in attack mode for the next few minutes.

McDonald's French fries are great carp bait also. Rub your hands with McDonald's fries to take the scent off your hands before you put spoons down on your downrigger to catch salmon/trout
Arkansas Game & Fish call 'em bream in the fishing rule book, and that's good enough for me!
Really 😃 lol me too
Called brim in Central Florida but where I grew up in Massachusetts, they're sunfish.
Bluegill are my favorite panfish to catch and eat.
Buy some Pillsbury dough , roll it into little balls and they love that too .
Once you get ‘em feeding in a frenzy, And then I put little balls of dough on a small hook … bam !
The cheapest can biscuit you can find, works great, they're really not picky.
I love the channel bro👍
Easiest way of catching blue gill or brim is go to your local convenience store
and buy hooks and worms. And get your line wet.
thank you for the technical term bream,,,funny video
I like the warmouth guy
We love catching BluGill!
I used to go down to GWU with my fly rod and catch hundreds of those things.
Green wigglers is the best bait I have found for Bream!
Brother, I'm so glad to hear you speaking my language. IT'S A BREAM!!
Lol Southern dialect lol
Truly. AND it is indeed a crappie, not a croppie. We Carolina boys have to keep it real, and don't let the old sayings die out!!!
Own a couple docks on Lake James, ya can't hide money. Lol absolutely gorgeous place.
Yep I wish they were mine lol . It beautiful up there
Got some "near to be gut busting laughter " your video . And , I'm gonna do a bit of humming too.
Here's something I discovered by mistake but that's how I usually learn. In the fall when the lake turns over it can cause a muscle kill. Usually muscle beds are in the outside bends of the river but you'll see em floating up. It'll look like cotton balls floating by (you didn't know all cottons were males did ya) Pick up several dead muscles to drop back down. I use 4lb line, an 1/8 oz split shot, and bend a right angle in the hook shank to keep em from swallowing it. It'll never hit the bottom before a big bream hits it and they are big. You want your boat positioned near the bottom of the slope. Just drop straight down, on the Tennessee River that's about 25'. After you locate a few of these muscle beds take a couple hundred crickets and the kids with ya. You'll have a ball. You're welcome
