A chum dispenser for selectively and controllably dispending chum into a surrounding body of water is provided. Specifically, the chum dispenser includes at least one receptacle with an interior portion, defining at least two sections separated by a porous divider. The two sections include an upper chum receiving section and a lower chum dispensing section. An inlet line is fluidically connected to the chum receiving section and a fluid/water source. The inlet line is structured to provide a flow of fluid/water into the chum receiving section for mixing with the chum and creating a fluid-chum mixture. An outlet line is disposed in a fluidically communicative relation with the chum dispensing section of the receptacle in order to provide a flow of the fluid-chum mixture into the surrounding body of water. A fluid control assembly provides a selective control of the fluid-chum mixture from the chum dispensing section.
