Keep all my frames and heads, When my bait freezer is full cook the lot up in the oven, toss it in a wheel barrow and mash up with a spade. Pull out all the large bones. Mix in a big bag of bran (chicken feed) and a bottle or two of whatever brand fish attracting oil.
Pack the whole lot into 2 liter milk cartons and freeze.
To use simply take frozen carton, cut a few small circular holes in the sides and remove lid, tie a rope thru handle and hang over the side. It will defrost and disperse. Its important to attract the large fish with smell and not feed them burley so mash the burley good before packing. Cooking the fish dry allows this.
For a deeper dropline. I have a cheap reef anchor, couple of meters of chain, 50 meters of 6mm rope and a float. Put on small hole in the carton, tie 3 or 4 to the chain and chuck the lot over in a nice looking area up current from where the fish will be holding. Give it 15 minutes to get working and fish arround it.
Wow, you are keen. I have only ever kept my whiting frames and stuffed them in some 100mm water pipe, cap both ends, lead inside screw on lid, with 3mm rope. fish in 30 - 40 meters on a drift. Ime going to try the chicken feed though and the oil. Thanks for the tips.
I operate an industrial bakery in Maddington so if anyone is chasing bread crumbs you are more then welcome to come down and grab as many as you want. They are not brilliant but they are free and work reasonably well when mixed with the burley oil.
I usually throw out around 2 wheelie bins per day.
What we've been having success with is to save all the crab scraps along with fish frames and add some fish oil and freeze it in a bucket with a wire frame in the middle. Attache it to a weight and send it to the bottom with a float on top to mark it's position. There is a flat coral bottom on the way out to the Naturaliste reef that it works on particularly well but it should work equally well elsewhere.

I have put down a big burley pot with an anchor and float and drift past it, that works too.
