Fresh is always the best! Buy or make a chum tube and ground your own on the spot with those fresh bait. There is nothing better than seeing scales or flakes down your chum line... you wont get that with prefab stuff. If you're off the beach chumming for cobes be ready for a King to come looking at your offerings now.

Heres a trick i learned.. Add a little of instant mashed potatoes. It thickens the mix to last longer and the oil modules stick to it so they dispurse in the water slower.
