A chumming device for live bait has a shaft with a first end located opposite a second end. A head is connected to the first end of the shaft. The head has a plurality of openings that facilitate water flow while scooping bait from a live well. The head has a lower portion forming a chamber configured to retain the bait. The chamber has a first side wall located opposite a second side wall. The chamber has a lip located opposite a protruding structure. The protruding structure extends beyond the chamber opening and is configured to align the bait to be launched in a direction by the force of a user. A handle is connected to the second end of the shaft. The shaft can have a plurality of bores each have different sized diameters arranged in an ascending diameter. The shaft can have a plurality of shaft openings.

A chumming device for live bait has a shaft with a primary end located opposite a secondary end. A head is connected to the primary end of the shaft. The head has a plurality of openings that facilitate water flow while scooping bait from a live well. The head has a lower portion forming a chamber configured to retain the bait. The primary side wall and the secondary side wall of the chamber have a first pair of opposing openings that are oriented in alignment with each other and are configured to receive a knife blade when the blade is received by the first pair of opposing openings. A cutting board is located between the first pair of opposing openings. The first pair of opposing openings position the knife blade over the cutting board when the knife blade is received by the first pair of opposing openings.

An offshore shade platform includes a flexible body that floats on a surface of a body of water. The flexible body provides a shaded area in which fish can congregate. A buoyancy device positioned under the flexible body supports a middle portion of the offshore shade platform on the surface of the water, and a visual indicator that helps users locate the platform extends in a substantially upright orientation from a top surface of the flexible body. To entice the fish into the shaded area, a porous counterweight containing chum hangs beneath the flexible body. Additionally, the porous counterweight provides a downward force that maintains the visual indicator in the upright orientation.

A chum dispenser for selectively and controllably dispending chum into a surrounding body of water is provided. Specifically, the chum dispenser includes at least one receptacle with an interior portion, defining at least two sections separated by a porous divider. The two sections include an upper chum receiving section and a lower chum dispensing section. An inlet line is fluidically connected to the chum receiving section and a fluid/water source. The inlet line is structured to provide a flow of fluid/water into the chum receiving section for mixing with the chum and creating a fluid-chum mixture. An outlet line is disposed in a fluidically communicative relation with the chum dispensing section of the receptacle in order to provide a flow of the fluid-chum mixture into the surrounding body of water. A fluid control assembly provides a selective control of the fluid-chum mixture from the chum dispensing section.

Various implementations described herein are directed to a marine device including a waterproof housing including a mounting element. The housing is configured to be at least partially submerged in the underwater environment and the mounting element is configured to attach to at least one of a vessel or a trolling motor. The marine device also includes at least one transducer and an acoustic speaker positioned within the housing. The at least one transducer is positioned and oriented within the housing such that the at least one transducer is configured to transmit one or more sonar beams into a portion of the underwater environment when the housing is at least partially submerged. The acoustic speaker is positioned and oriented within the housing such that the acoustic speaker is configured to emit the fish attraction sound into the underwater environment when the housing is at least partially submerged.
