you can put them into smaller drink bottles and freeze them as well.just poke a hole in it and tie a bit of rope around the top and drop in the water,lasts a long time as it thawes.

i read some were that glitter in your burly makes surface fish go into a frenzy and jump out ofthe water has anyone tryed this ?.

I went down the road a spent 10 dollars for bits and pieces and came up with this.

I used a PVC tube from a housing estate from the garbage bins, that's about half a foot long.
I went and got two caps for the tube, then I went and got 30 meters of white rope for $2.50 from WA salvage ( handy poly Rope 4mm x 30m ) and I found a old wire plastic cable roll to hold the rope.

then I got a swivel pin for the top of the burley bomb and I drill a hole in the top cap going through the cap and tube and used a copper pipe as a pin to hold the cap.

Then I placed 4 screws into the bottom cap with stainless screws to hold it in place.

Drilled a heap of holes around the main tube. and that's it

Just to show you what the burley bomb works like, see the oil trail in the image.

nice burley bomb man ;) might go make myself one and freeze it full of old fish guts n burly. good tip man, love da burly trail its huge, does your burly bomb sink ?., is that pic taken in cockburn ?\, cheers

Thats a slick and a half Karl, no wonder you've been having some luck of late. Thinking I might have to put some effort in and make one up myself!

baked beans makes good addition to any burley too ive found, strange but it works!

I'm allways using burley to catch my fish, works better than nothing, I allways rub my bait into the burley mix as well, allways keep my left overs and add it to the burley mix, when cabbing starts for us we use the left over crab shells as well.

Have you heard any reports on the crabs Tommy? They can't be too far off starting down in Mandurah. I know theres heaps down in Busso, but I'm not sure if I can be bothered driving that far for a feed.

most of the time we just move around to find the fish, quicker than waiting for them to come to you. When fishing land based though it would be good.

You have more fish to find than us Jay. Berley helps heaps down here.

Very true that Danny. Also out in the boat when the seas are up and anchoring is required berley is a must to get the fish to come to you. Everytime we've used berley up north in the boat the sharks are on you before you know it.

Yeah good point also adam, another reason why we dont use it up north.

Sorry Adam, I haven't heard of any reports of crabs yet myself, shouldn't be to long before I start, just waiting for my son's school leave, then we will try

in mandurah we are pulling up heaps of pregnant females of the bridges and ther are a few around the estury but nothing to boast about wait another month and u can easly get yah bag limit, hen bout feb they got further like up the rivers and u will get heaps in the lakes that join to the rivers.

Thanks for the info Fishy, sounds good!

I would have thought cooking oil not to be a good option, Theses types of oils are saturated fats and therefore do not break down in water.
Please we must not promote polluting our waterways, apart from that sounds like a good burley.

never thought of it that way.. but it doese make a good burly trail,

chicken oil in the mix seems to work well, i think 2 litres costs around $5

Also my mate used to pick up sacks of stale bread loaves for free from bakeries and then soak them in oil.
