    My first season as a full-time Indiana Sportsman I am having trouble finding information on chumming in Indiana waters. I am wondering if it is legal to chum the waters while fishing for catfish? I am not finding reliable information on the subject so I am hoping you can help me.

    Thanks
    David

    I looked over the DNR site and can find nothing to suggest that chumming is illegal. If it doesn't say you can't, you can.:bash:

    That is kind of what I thought, I was all over several sites and haven't found anything either way. So I guess a chummin' we will go!

    Thanks for the info.

    I don't think there would be anything against the law as long as there isn't a littering issue.
    I don't know if it was effective or not but I have done some serious chumming myself on 6 foot waves down on the Gulf of Mexico:rolleyes: :dizzy: :)

    In fact, I read once that a great chum is an old onion bag with a bunch of dogfood dragged behind your boat.
