Guest davidm#2 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 gday all,im a keen surf fisher who goes away alot, and was wondering wat types of berly system you use. ive tried using an acnchor with a bag on a pully system but that didnt really work . and at the moment i just have a bag with a rock in it tied to a droper, any suggestions of effective systems are welcome. (keeping in mind fishing at the coorong)cheers david Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Del 245 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 if im fishing a gutter i just feed out chopped pillies into the gutter while im fishing. throw them out by hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wayno77 0 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I just throw handfulls of whiting nuts out into the water and tip out the tuna oil directly as well. I find the wave actions will disperse the burley into the gutters.You could ballon up a burley bucket, use a hessian bag tied to a stake or rope as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Del 245 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 pouring some tuna oil into the sand is also a good way of putting out a slick with the waves Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest davidm#2 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 yea i do that aswell,but do u think that if u had the berly in a bag on the shorer line u would get a slow release, yes, no, yeah, nahh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rocknev 2 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 i go to the waters edge... preferably at low tide, dig a hole about 6 inchs deep, and pour cat food into it with a bit of tuna oil, pellets and even squid.then bury itas the waves come over the top of it, it slowly washes the berley away as the sand moves...works pretty good, as up to 3 hrs later, you see bits of cat food coming to the top and floating out with the waves Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plankton 725 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I do the same things, throw diced pillies in by hand every so often, a little tuna oil from a squeeze bottle, and for longer sessions I'll bury a bit of both in the sand. I've also had good luck using left over prawn crackers all crushed up for bread and butter type fish off the beach and sometimes I'll make my own whiting nuggets to use.

Surf_94 1 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I've just started a new technique where I take a clean one litre square cardboard milk carton and fill it with my favourite berley mix, then put a grapnel sinker into the middle of it and freeze it. When I'm ready to fish a beach I cut away the carton and tie a small gauge rope to it and let it rest in the breaking surf.It slowly defrosts in the surf and the grapnel sinker holds it in the sand. Only tried it once so far, but it worked a treat for a 2hr session. Will be out again this sunday morning at Parsons for the dawn session to try it again. Any kind of carton would do, Ice coffee maybe? By freezing the mix I find I can get the most out if a smzll amount of beerley mix. Might be a bit too much preparation for some, but if it works I reckon it's worth the effort Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mick013 2 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 ive been doing the same kinda thing just in plastic cups. just break the plastic and put the cup shaped burley into a pot tied to the rod holder...seems pretty good but i like your idea of the grapnel sinker to hold it in place Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vanders 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 i dont understand how does the grapnel do anything if its buried within an ice block of burley?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

reelin 2 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 or placed where the tip of the sinker is sitting out of the block Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Surf_94 1 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 ....come on guys I can't give away everything! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Surf_94 1 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 When I put the grapnel into the carton, I make sure that the pins are as close to the sides as possible so that when you tear off the carton the pins are visible and can be bend out to act as the anchor. As the berley defrosts you can adjust the pins as needed. I would post a pic as I have some but posting pics for me is like trying to mix water and electricity.
