I listed this but it didnt show up on my screen, sooo I thought I d try again...
Catfish bait...
I see that people are using "hotdogs" for bait, along with liver and other fine stuff.
I m assuming its ok to use pork and beef products in fresh waters??
What are the regulations for Pork and Beef??

There are no such regulations. They only regulate live bait.

for catfish i like using two hooks with a nightcrawler on one hook and anchovie on the other.

Haha....I chummed with catfood once and all it did was attract a bunch huge carps. Even caught a huge carp on a cut anchovy. Crazy. In all my times at Mead, we've only landed 2 carps by using anchovies. I was under the impression that they were all vegetarian. I guess not.
When it comes to chumming for stripers or catfish, nothing beats anchovies. Where there are stripers, there are usually a lot of catfish below. When I use top water action with the cut baits, I catch the stripers. But if I let the cut bait sink to the bottom, then I get catfish. Not a big fan of catfish so they're released immediately.
Best regards,
Paul

You do not need anything fancy. Just corn and what ever cut bait you are using. The famous quote told to me was CHUM and the will come.

I agree. I just puree a few anchovies and chum till they come. I haven't heard of using corn though. I would think that would bring carp and maybe even trouts but who knows, stripers may love corn, too.
Best regards,
