queensland Do you burley ?

[ellicat]

Interested to know members' thoughts on burley.

Do you use a pot or disperse directly ?

When catching bait I follow the advice of a well known fisherman and I "Cast thy bread upon the water".

If I'm on a wharf, I dangle a perforated tin of mackerel or tuna

Being the lazy type I just throw it in the burley pot and tow it all over the ocean when I forget to bring it in.

Only when I've had too many xxxx's.

That would be the dispersal method then.

Yes, I do that too. I like to consider it 'the trolling method'.

So with most members doing it depending on what they're chasing, the question is -

What species are you burleying for ?  or for which ones don't you bother ?

Mostly just burley to attract fish, whatever is around at the time.

Good for Gar. Also good for rays and toadies.

And sharks and bream...

Digging up an old thread......What was the the consensus answer?

I'm thinking of getting an ebay mincer to grind up / old left over bait / frames to make burley bombs for future sessions

 

[Angry51]

Many years ago I took the one out of the kitchen and bought the boss a new one.

Everyone was happy.

I've decided to do it in winter when the sharks are scarcer, but forget about it in summer when they are prolific.

I bought a food processor thingy to make berley from leftover bait and frames. Did it twice before deciding it was too messy and painful when 20kg of chicken pellets is only $20. Add some tuna oil at $15/litre. Still chop up the old pillies in-situ and deploy them too.

i've found this a fantastic way of attracting sea toads in the bay...

Now i definitely don't want that. Seems there is no one golden rule here.

I'm sure the misso has a spare blender / nutribullet she is not using - she won't notice if I permanently relocate that to the shed?

Might just make burley adhoc when i have left over bait / frames add to chicken pellets and tuna oil.
