YD... good use for carp.  I've never tried it for burley... what do you attract with it?
I use saltwater fish scraps in a muncher, but add chook pellets, bread and tuna oil.
How would you go filleting the carp.. I guess the heads would still require "cranium surgery"
I use a tomahawk to 'downsize' difficult pieces.
 
and.. btw....  european wasps are not confined to Melbum... I live in the Adelaide Hills and will not see a wasp for 12 months or so....  Start making burley and they are out in swarms....  Funny - the mincer doesnt seem to attract them as much ( I have a heavy duty mincer for smaller scraps.

Get hold of a PC program called OziExplorer.
It cost around $100 but I reckon its worth it.
It can download marks from a csv spreadsheet (text file, display them on a chart and convert them to numerous GPS formats, including GPX
 
Or you can email them to me and I'll do it for you.  I only fish SYP so you wont see my boat on your spots...... and I wont share (or sell) them either.

Howdy Rod... hows the coffee these days?  ... and the BIG-Cat ?
I too put a loop in the end and hook it over the reel handle. Can then do the knot anywhere.
 
As for finishing, I do a couple of half-hitches just to keep the knot tight, then do a couple of locked-half hitches.
 
To do a locked-half -hitch, insted of looping over the line once, loop over twice then thread the loose end under both loops.  Work the line from the fixed end to tighten it then pull tight.  The second loop ends up over a half-hitch, locking it very tight and there is very little chance it will work loose.
A couple of these and you are good to go.

Not a stone lover but I do love a quality knife, being able to fillet hundreds of fish before having to sharpen your knife is brilliant.
Those sharpeners are great for cheaper softer steel knives, I have one for my bait knives, but they will take chunks out of properly hardened blade and ruin it, I found this out the hard way so thought I'd chuck a warning out there.

If I kept it neat and tidy, my financial director would easily see how many fishing assets I actually have....
 
No... better to keep it messy... "In confusion there is profit" (Tony Curtis--" Don't give up the ship"(I think))
 
OH.. and dont store it all in the one spot...
