I just use an old hamburger grinder i bought at a garage sale. I also just butcher up some fish and place them in a potato sack with a weight. Tether it off to a cleat.

Re: Meat grinder to use grinding of fish while on the water(chumming)?

something similar to this should work or no? or are these overkill and a cheaper will will do the same job?

http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-Meat-Gr...UTF8&coliid=I2NHCSPS01QZKR&colid=8DVUOOPAXTA0
or this one

i plan on mounting to a board and making something to attach to my railing.

That's much nicer than the one I have, furyman. I like the large loading tray. I didn't know they still made them. Good name product. If you buy one let me know how you like it. I need an upgrade after seeing that one.

I mounted mine to fit into a rod holder.

Good Luck!

I liked the Bosch but I can see where mounting may be a problem just by looking at the photo.

I believe the correct term would be a rod holder mount.

when I tried an old fashioned hand crank hamburger grinder it did not work. The skin would get tangled up inside.

rod holder mount.jpgI googled "rod holder mount for grill" and found some. They are commonly used for grills and downriggers to slide into your rod holder. A welder could make one to fit your needs if you don't find something you like.....Good Luck!

We catch some pretty decent sized fish, usually grouper. We save and grind up the carcass. So I bought one of these last year from HF using a 25% off coupon. I have about $100 in it. Just hose it down when done. It has been great for doing the rough work a hand meat grinder was doing. Quick too!

I plan on doing this as well. I just picked up a great solid cast old one at a Flea Market. Have not tried it yet but am planning to soon.

I've got one of these layin' around from a restaurant/bar that closed:

You can probably adapt the suction cup base for a more permanent mount, if you want.

If you're interested, PM me and I'll send it for the cost of shipping just to get it out of the garage.
