This is my berley bag Jordan, (thanks JK) looks like what Bungel is describing. I put a small hole in the plastic around the berley. Usually a circular hole about 4-5cm across. If there's a lot of swell and the berley's getting smashed and dissipating too fast, I chuck an empty plastic bottle in the bag to float it away from the rocks.

I also bought a big swivel from a sailing suppliers. This goes between the rope and the bag and stops the whole thing spinning and twisting. The sinker at the end is for jamming in a crack- a very solid anchor.

We use a cray bag, and and drop the whole 3/5/10kg Frozen bomb in it with just a very few holes.

The aim is definatly to just let it slowly dispense and to keep the baitfish feeding This will create a bit of action around your chosen spot. Let it sit just on the washline and that should be enough to keep it slowly cranking out. Can always give it a few shakes from time to time, stomp on it or add a few extra holes. But once its gone, those baitfish will generally disappear too. It should last a good few hours, the more frozen the better.

yeah thats the sort of thing i was thinking about trying BA, sounds good, the only problem with the bucket/ladel thing is i tend to put in too much, and inadvertently Feed the fish instead of entice them as im aiming to.. i like the sound of slow release with chunks of pillie goin in.. 

Cheers bois will try that out

the longer it lasts mate the better off you are, when we burly both from the rocks and the boat we set the burley pot [if we use one at all] and then break up pillies and as it disappears the next piece hits the water, to much is not always good, specially if there are tope around]]> Fri, 09 Dec 2011 19:13:31 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=73198&PID=1043201&title=burley-melting-tips#1043201 <![CDATA[Burley Melting Tips? : Defrosted + ladel = kahawai...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=73198&PID=1043187&title=burley-melting-tips#1043187 Author: SpidersWeb

Defrosted + ladel = kahawai at feet
To make it last longer, I half fill the bucket with water, so each spoon is mostly water with only a couple of chunks in it.
 
Even at oriental low tide the other night, had a pile of baby kahawai and a decent sized one rolling around. In the past when I've used berley containers I've never seen that, and it sucks if they get caught on something, or float back in to shore.
 
Just my preference I guess.
But in saying that, with something like a kina berley, frozen in a burley bag/container is probably better. Think that is more of a smelly burley than a smell+action burley.

Yeah I reakon the real issue is when it not frozen and it goes in 5 minutes. Just keep giving the rope a shake Jorden, it will be sufficient enough. If it is that still and there is no current at all, your burley is not going to be of much use apart from luring spotties out anyways.

Watch the smooth patch on the surface, it may suprize you how much work it is actually doing with dispensing so fast bro.
