This group taught the world to use beef suet as chum.  Seabirds love it, it floats and its cheap.  Thanks.

Webmaster Note:  I learned about using beef suet as chum on the Perpetua Bank trip our of Oregon and mistakenly thought Greg Gilson was the originator of this idea. I can still say that Greg is very effective in using beef suet as chum.
