I see a run on range cubes and dog food coming ....

Unlike other states, chumming is legal in Texas and Texas Parks and Wildlife encourages it for catching catfish, so they don’t consider it unsportsmanlike. I chum mainly for carp and buffalo, but chumming will concentrate baitfish and the bass will follow the bait. I even catch one occasionally

I guess you don't know what, I couldn't care less means? It's a conversation, which is what the forum is for. I'm really neutral on the subject. If you want to do it, by all means, have at it. I just asked the question. Yea, it does seem odd the timing of it but if it's not against the rules then why worry. I agree with the guy that said there will be a run on range cubes and meal cubes soon. Lol To be honest I may let curiosity get me to try it to see if it works.

Hey! Get out of my backyard. I mean really my backyard! I’m looking out my windows and can see that dock from my living room! By the way: that’s a real nice bass from this little lake. Nice bass anywhere👍

If fishing with live bait, cut bait, hot dogs, balls of corn and Big Red; please chum away until the cow cubes come home. I’d encourage it, because it’s good for the lake ecosystem.

Yes, chumming works for bass—seen lake record size bass caught off of both manual and automatic fish feeder patterns.

It is an interesting lake. Some days it is on fire and other days I don’t get a bite.

Where the Astros really cheating a few years ago? Stealing signs has always been a part of the game.

People been dumping range cubes for catfish for years and years nothing new always someone out there watching you saying your doing something shady mind your business

Exactly what I was using metaphors to explain. Range cubes and dog food bring catfish which eat bass and everything else. If you want to catch bass you don't bait it with anything you just give them an ambush spot. I also would suggest bass masters probably is the most ethical tournament organization ever, yet please check their library on this and you will find several articles about pros talking about going to a lake in practice and sinking and waypionting hundreds of piles. Please give me an idea of how you write a rule excluding a fish caught from a man made structure? how about docks? Entire bass master tournaments are based on boat docks, show me a natural boat dock? what if you find fish on a ledge and a crappie fisherman comes in and sinks ten piles overnight? Does the tournament director go out and live scope the piles to determine if they are for bass or crappie before making a entire ledge off limits because it has man made structure on it? So are you cheating if you make a long cast with a crank-bait and catch a fish off a pile that you didn't know was there? Are you going to take that 8lber out of your live well and through it back when you live scope the spot and see the pile. What if you live scope a brush pile and its covered with bass but you didn't sink it is that cheating? If the pile is close to the bank on a drop off and may or may not be an old tree that just fell in the lake years ago but was full of sap and did not rot are you sure someone didn't push it in the water? Probably the simple way to realize why it is not against the rules is because TPWD says it is legal because it improves fish habitat in a mature man made reservoir. You don't win because you don't go fishing enough to know what the fish are doing mostly, Its not because the guy winning is cheating. Drive by the guys lake house that does all of the instructional videos on here about Sam Rayburn, what do you think that old pontoon boat is for with no railing on it? It is for sinking brush piles so he doesn't scratch up the new boat. Tip Go see someone around the lake with an old pontoon take the rails off sink your own and then try to win tournaments off of those spots.... GOOD LUCK. Mostly they are not won that way.

Well that's a bunch of nonsensical gibberish

What was the cliff note version? That he’s in favor of fish feeding?

Apparently no one baits holes for tournaments because catfish eat bass. Lol. I read it and have no clue what he meant

Need to chum Amistad to supplement the lack of baitfish

no doubt ! before they all starve.
