Burley

[lostproperty]

Has anyone used those hand powered meat mincers to make burley out on a boat ? Just wondering how they handle pillies or possibly fish frames cheers guys

there ok for pillys but crap for fish frames but i would check with fisherys on wheather it is legal to have a mincer when your fishing i would do it at home and freeze in pvc tube it lasts way longer if its frozen

get some end caps and cut the pvc tube the length off your berly pot also cut the pvc tube almost all the way length wise it makes it easyer to get your berly out off the tube

the good mix 1 bag off pillys

2 bags off bread crumbs

1 bag off polard

2 cups off tuna oil

mince your pillys and old bait then mix the above in a 20 ltr bucket you should get 6 to 8 tubes off berly depending on your tube size a frozen tube should last 2 to 4 hours

cheers gary

thanks for the recipe brickman. When you take a couple of the frozen berleys with you do you have trouble keeping the spare frozen on the boat? i tried freezing berley a couple of times by they thawed out too quickly. Any tricks?

thanks
