looking for ideas on what i can use to chum for some carp from the bank at a place i fish?...it is on a river, so if i just throw it in the water it will drift down pretty quickly...maybe i should use a bucket with holes, panty hose?...thanks in advance!!!

Range cubes, and lots of them.

Sweet corn as well, if you're planning to chum as you fish. And whatever bait you're using, chum a little of that as well.

Chum upstream in a river, so that it washes over your area.

Get the range cubes that have 18 - 20% protein. I believe these are the standard range cubes. Good luck!

No need for panty hose. I would just dress like for any other fishing trip. Save the panty hose for special occassions.
