Chumming

October 31, 2013

Question: Can you help settle a debate please? Is intentionally chumming or blood baiting from shore or the pier permissible in California ocean waters? What specific regulations or laws apply? (Heather H.)

Answer: Yes, chumming in ocean waters is permitted statewide (California Code of Regulations Title 14, section 27.05).

Thanks for all the F&W QA's Howard.  Now I know who to go to for my fishing regulations 

I chum a lot OTW. #dramamine
