Anyone used this stuff for spearing? Would doing so be frowned apon? Was thinking it may entice cod out of deeper water maybe?

Any thoughts?
 
Never heard of it! Is it some kind of groundbait? I'm always interested in anything that might attract fish and hold them in the area.
 
If you keep your old worm/sandeel/scallop frill bait after fishing trips and freeze it all up then mash the frozen bits, stick it in a close meshed bag and you have a groundbait/shirvy ready to go. Dont forget to keep the crabs away you might need to float it off the bottom. i've played with the idea but never got as far as using it - got plenty of frozen leftovers tho!
be interting to hear what others think?
 

I do exactly the same and have a 25 litre old fry-Oil bucket full off leftover bait. Last time out out it created a slick over a mile long and brought many fish up through.

Onion sack is the way to go. Balloon in the top large pebble in the bottom as the mass defrosts it gets more active in the water and goes more with the balloon.

Its something i was planning on giving a go this summer but the weather never realy gave me a chance to give it a go. We use rubby dubby/ chum bags for sharking, the slick brings in all sorts of fish, giant size gar, stone bass, bass, mullet etc. We had a 12/14lb bass take a mackerel flapper on a 10/0 hook last week which was in turn taken by a porbeagle, leaving only the head behind. The gills on the bass were still moving when it was brought back to the boat!

Its well worth a go i reckon, onion bags mixed with day old fish livers, mackerel (score the outside of each mackerel a few times), pilchard oil and lots of bran. The bran soaks up all the oil and mackerel blood and helps get a good slick going. Stinks a bit, but works like a dream.
