From #VexiNews 9/17/22 Chumming Flag: the safety sign for shark baiting and fishing By Gerald Taggart (Creator of the Chumming Flag) SurferToday.com 9/14/22 Excerpt: The chumming flag was created in March 1997 from a simple question asked by a caller to "Let's Talk Hookup," a call-in fishing radio program in San Diego, California. The caller asked, "how can you tell when a boat is chumming?" […] #Chumming, also known as chunking, is the practice of throwing fresh pieces of bait fish with blood and bone overboard to attract marine animals. Sportfishing boats have the problem of boats running up and poaching from their chumming of live bait, which shuts off the bite for everyone. Therefore, a chumming flag could promote water ethics by establishing a courtesy zone to prevent any issues. I went to work on creating a chumming flag. I applied for and was granted the copyright. […] Soon after, my wife and I began making flags on our back patio that I would bring to local tackle shops, thus creating our small flag business. A year later, I set up my first booth at the Day at the Docks festival and found that many people loved the chumming flag. However, I needed to put the business on hold due to some issues. […] Fast forward to 2014, while watching a fishing show, I noticed that fishermen were still complaining about the same problem; other boats getting too close while chumming. It gave me the confidence to restart the business through an email campaign. […] The endgame is having the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopt an official code flag for chumming under SOLAS (Safety Of Life At Sea), the same as the two dive flags. Flags have been used for centuries as a means of communication, so I hope to continue this tradition by establishing one more official flag. Until then, enjoy your time on the water, and if you're going to chum, tell someone. #flag #flags #fishingflag #sharks #proposedflag (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Citx0jDrAxa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
