Berley......

[lino39]

Hi all,
I do a bit of fishing on the central coast in Brisbane water and am wondering if I could get a few tips on berley I should use.
I have heard of chicken pellets and bran does that sound correct

[aussiefool]

Yes mate chicken pellets are a good start. Please don't take offence but a burly topic has been covered a million times on here, so I would suggest that you do a search here or even do a google search yourself

Hi
Buy an old hand mincer and grind up all your old left over bait as well as fish heads/frames and put in a bucket with Tuna oil and some aniseed oil. Add chook pellets or Whiskettes. My bucket that I keep in the freezer has never been empty in years and I keep topping it up. By the way, if it ever spills in my boat I will have to burn the boat.

Cheers

yep, mincer and just grind up anything fishy and add tuna oil

also can add some shell grit or sand afterwards to make it sink a bit quicker.

I took an old tile cutting angle grinder diamond blade and bent the outside edges opposite, then welded a rod to that and onto a drill, with this I can chop everything thats leftover from fish heads and bits , bone, bread, mice, and all, but yes..... it is sometimes off like foul stench , and can attract some weirdo fish fr palmy reef

I have found the Uncle Johns secret berley mix pellets to work reasonably well. About $6 a bag at Big W and no major pong to store em. Just float em in a burley bucket off the side of the tinnie when anchored. Whenever I use em I seem to catch a little more than when I don't. Tuna Oil is apparently good stuff to attract most fish so whatever recipe you choose, maybe add some of that too!

Chuck in some old stale bread I use everything from chiken and quale head and guts left over cooked meat the sky the limit. You don't want to feed them just entise them.

Hey guys - as a novice - where are we hangin this burley. Off the back of the boat or down below. Going after bream/flatties etc in the bay at Port Stephens or in close outside after Snapper etc. Any help needed for a first timer with a nice boat. (Seafarer Ventura & 150 Jono)

Buy a berley bomb

[Gagga08]

I totally agree with barrakid. Why go to all the hassle of mixing up your own burley when u can get a $5 burley bomb, which are minced up pilchards mixed with tuna oil normally, that will work better than any home made burly i've ever tried.

IMO home made burley is a complete waste of time!

but it cant hurt to give it a go tho Gagga...im using all the ifo ive read here and have made a start on my own recipe..."Sunshine Special" ( patent pending )...
i encourage you to give your own experiments a go Lino39...and if all else fails...$5 burley bomb

try this its new on the market and well worth the setup cost, rjs burley system, anyone on northside brisbane the tackle shop at carseldine sells it, with canister weights and everything you need, saves doing it yourself, if thats what you want. i personally mix my own and into the canister but either way works, cheers lethal

By an old hand mincer and grind up all your old bait, fish frames and heads, add stale bread, chook pellets, tuna oil and aniseed.

Hi
I have a berley bomb that I attach about a meter up the anchor chain gets the berly on the bottom and flowing back under the boat into the strike zone. Seems to miss a lot of the vermin and when you pull the anchor up it its in the anchor well and keeps the pong off the carpets.
