Shore Catch Post 4 - Shredded Mulie Burley - Pot/Bucket/Cage Sizes?
We now have a lot of faith that our shredded fish products have market desirability. We are close to getting the right ratio of shredded mulies/salt/water to produce a good burley product with many different fishing applications. The freezing point has been lowered to give sufficient longevity, and the final trial will be tomorrow afternoon with the forecast excellent conditions.
It is just fine tuning now as the raw material (10mm x 5mm pieces of mulie) is a proven fish attractor – the product creates the scent of a bait fish massacre, brings in feeding fish but doesn’t provide enough for the bigger fish to get a feed. The image below is of the blocks that are coming out on an ocean trip tomorrow, for final testing.
The raw material can be moulded and frozen. We would like to supply it in a form the fits directly into “boat attached” burley buckets and the variety of other burley pots, both commercial and home-made. We have undertaken preliminary investigations, but Member input now would be really helpful and appreciated.
What size and shape blocks do you think are best to produce? I would expect there to be at least four products, or possibly more?
Your input and support is appreciated. Mick

90x300mm cylinders to fit
90x300mm cylinders to fit 100mm PVC pipe cages. People can buy as many 'logs' as they need & cut them down with a hacksaw if they need to. Good size to fit in most freezers to.

PVC Pipe - 10mm
I like the idea of having something that fits a the standard sizes of pvc pipe that way everyone could cheaply make a pot to suit your blocks.
I think they are 75mm, 90mm and 150mm
Fairly certain the transom berly pot on my barcrusher would take upto 100mm
Need to find a distributer in Rockingham too!!!

Yes
Haven't formalised it yet, but I am sure we can work something out.

Shredded Mulie Testing Complete
Headed out yesterday arvo to test the shred blocks. It was a sounder party.
We probably landed 50+ fish for the session. It was a very mixed bag, with pinkies being the dominant species, and non-stop action. We released most fish and just kept some pinkies and baldies that were a bit worse for wear. I reckon we released at least 10 pinkies that were size – no real big ones and mostly in the 60-70cm range. The biggest sambo was about 15kg.
We already have orders for the product so are just about to manufacture the blocks for sale – they will be available next week.
