Local bait.
Local knowledge.Let’s go fishing.

Welcome to The Chum Bucket, from the Chum Crew!

Matt, Tim, Ethan and Danny are four childhood friends who grew up on this stretch of the Jersey Shore, fishing and hunting it since we were kids.

Between us we have the knowledge, the experience and the stubbornness to run the kind of shop we always wanted to walk into. Somewhere you can get bait that is actually fresh, a straight answer about what is running, and a coffee while you sort out your morning.

We are just getting started, which means we need everyone’s opinions and ideas. If there is a bait you want stocked, a brand you swear by, or something we could be doing better, tell us. We are open to any and all suggestions.

Tell us what you want on the shelves. We’ll get it there.
