So I just went on eBay and scored a cheap #32 manual crank meat grinder for $39. Obviously I would have preferred a v-belt pulley model for an electric conversion later but they were almost double the price. It's missing the handle bolt but I found a bolt and lock washer in the drawer. I'm going to mount it up on a fiberglass filet board I made a while back. I'll post finished pics tomorrow. Anyone else grind their own chum? Any preference on containers? I'm thinking disposable Tupperware or just 2 gallon buckets. Maybe gallon zip lock freezer bags?

I was just going to grind up all the old mullet and pilchards and ballyhoo we've been cast netting. Anyone mix in anything special? Oats, glitter, oil?

No lie, when i was a kid growing up on the Chesapeake Bay, my brother and I used the garbage disposal in the kitchen sink to make chum. Just disconnected the drain line and put a bucket uder it.

It was worse. My dad came home from work early one day and saw me standing on a chair feeding fish into the sink and my little brother under the sink with a bucket. He grounded us for a week, but to this day he cant help but laugh and tell that story every chance he gets.
This must have been 1989 or so. I was around 14 and my brother was 12. I was and still am a cast netting machine. Damn tho those were some good times and great memories.
