Capt. Larry Kelly

"Having guided clients to 230 IGFA world records I have to rely on the VERY BEST  equipment. BubbaChum chum bags simply are the BEST! With the large opening to let 25 lb blocks in easily and big mesh to let chum flow, BubbaChum MAXIMIZES  bait in the water attracting more fish!!! The commercial grade quality makes it my choice for chum bags."

Hear Our Story

Capt. Larry Kelly & Capt. Nick Mannetti

"I've been fishing in Key West, both recreationally and as a light tackle Charter Captain, for over 40 years. Over the years I've used many chum bags. And I have found that these are the best value for your dollar. BubbaChum™ is simply the best on the market!"

~ Capt. Nick "Mannetti" Malinovsky, Professional Guide (Ret.), Key West

Captain Larry Kelly was born and raised in Miami. A close family friend and neighbor, Poncho Ferreira, who was a commercial fisherman in Cuba, influenced his early years.  As a child, Capt. Kelly would watch Poncho make large cast nets by hand in his back yard. Poncho would take his son David, daughter Adis, and Larry (Capt. Kelly) on many fishing trips as children. They would fish many areas in south Florida from Marco Island to Key West.

Since 1986, Capt. Kelly has guided Dive Boats and Fishing Charters from Miami, Everglades National Park, and Key West.  Most recently, Capt. Kelly has made commercial grade chumbags, primarily for his friends and fellow charter boat Capt.’s in Key West.

BubbaChum™ has evolved from a few close friends suggestions and frustrations over the quality of chumbags on the market.  After 2 years of trials with various sizes, lengths, and strengths, and input from a handful of friends and fellow fishing guides at the Hurricane Hole Marina in Key West...

BubbaChum™ was born!

"Jerk Your Chum® Bubba!!"
