Burley

Happy to shred your frozen fish waste, if Wangara is not too far away for you.  I also have some tuna oil sluge if you are interested.  Just PM me if you would like to discuss.

Oily bait fish, such as you have, make an excellent base.  As Barra says, a protien filler to bind and oil for "flavour" helps a lot.  I like to include some crustacean (prawns, crabs, crays) and shells as I think this makes a better mix.

Advice - don't do it in the kitchen or use any powered kitchen tools that are used for food preparation.  The consequences can be severe.

Haven't done that for a while, but usually no drama in clean pollard. They fall asleep.

Did someone pull the container out and drop some milk in for cereal Jack?

 Yeah mate, make it the way

 Yeah mate, make it the way Pop used to transferring them twice into clean pollard and then in jars for a sleep but it was the mere presence of maggots in the fridge regardless of how clean that caused the 'unpleasantness'. You'd think a haggis muncher would be less fussy about what goes into he fridge...

I usually add old breakfast

Mon, 2016-08-01 20:16

I usually add old breakfast cereal, bread and a couple of cups of clean sand or pea gravel which helps some burley sink faster when there is a strong current or in deeper water.
