Around lunch time day of fishing we'd take it chuck it off in the water usually at least 6ft deep then tie off to a tree. That night we'd catch all we wanted using nightcrawls, liver or shrimp.
Not practical but effective as we did this on camping trips for assured easy meals.
Haven't thought about that in years..

Another chum recipe...
5 gallon bucket
8 lbs of cracked corn
1 pkg of yeast
1 can/bottle of beer
Loose fitting cover for the bucket.
Combine cracked corn, yeast and beer in bucket, fill with water so it is about 2 inches over the corn mixture. Stir ingredients completely, cover loosely, set it in direct sunlight. Stir every 3 to 4 days.The chum is ready when you gag hard enough to pull a muscle.
