michael2203 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 G'day Raiders, I was up early this morning and headed over to the George's around East Hills and Picnic Point. After reading some other posts about using chicken soaked in fish sauce, I thought I'd give it a whirl. All up, I landed 15 fish in 4ish hours and lost a few more on top of that. Apart from a small tailor and whiting, the rest were bream. A few photo's are attached. I'm planning on getting up early tomorrow and having another crack. Hopefully I manage to attract some larger specimens. Tight lines. Hodgo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellzy94 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Chicken is a top bream bait! I use chopped up chicken thigh (a bit tougher than breast) and throw it in a ziplock back, shake up some minced garlic and the cheapo powdery parmesan cheese. Works a treat! Some nice fish. Cheers, Wellzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Wellzy Try this recipe Mix formula, start with chicken fillets Buy them when they are out cheapest in your local store, finely mince the fillets and divide into 500 gm packs, vacuum seal the packs and freeze for when needed, make a fresh pack after 3 days fishing as it will not keep frozen for long term useage so here is the mix ratio : 500 gm chicken mince -- 20 ml fish oil -- 1 cove of garlic finely crushed -- 1 table spoon of vital wheat gluten flour -- 1 teaspoon of curry powder -- 1/4 teaspoon asafoetida powder (Indian Herb) -- Mix these ingredients together then bind the mix with semolina, keep adding the semolina and needing until the gluten forms a mix that you can roll into a small ball that will mould to your hook, Do not make it to stiff as it should come of the hook on the first bite, this will keep the fish interested and also works as a controlled burley. The main secret is to get the mixture to the right consistencey. This mix can be used for mullet, tommies, bream, but have also caught snapper, trevally, yellowfin whiting, mackerel and the list goes on, you get the picture. Oh, and one more bit of advice, if there are a lot of sand crabs or puffers about, reduce the fish oil I can't wait to see the pictures of what all you guys / gals end up catching .. Enjoy Great_White This was passed down by an 80+ year old, and he swears by it .... so it is not MY recipe Edited January 27, 2017 by Great_White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good Michael, Thank for replying will give it ago next time I get the chance to wet a line. Never knew cooking was involved in fishing before catching the fish. Hopefully I'll have some pics of the results soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
