First-time anglers often favor the chumming technique. It spares them the tangle of trolling lines and proves simpler than deep-casting. This is a straightforward method that yields results while in Los Suenos.

Fresh bait is not enough to create a proper chum mixture, however. Sand is instead needed to ensure success.

Sand shapes the Los Suenos coastline. It should also shape a charter tour. The fine grains and pliable textures prove essential while fishing, helping to create a more adaptable chum. Bait is dense. It will sink and scatter. By adding sand to the mixture, however, anglers can ensure that their finely chopped Mackerels, Shrimps and Bunkers remain floating.

Sand provides better buoyancy to bait. It allows the pieces to blend and keeps them on the surface. This helps to lure fish to ships with greater ease and accuracy, and it turns chumming into a certainty.

Tossing bait into the water is not enough. Add sand instead to every mix.
