there secret recipe is a strong bright torch! but a $1 homebrand bread loaf soaked in water for like 30mins will do. you shouldnt have any clumps at all, it should be soup like. just sprinkle some of this magic juice now and then and BAM! bag full of gars :a_goodjob: :thumbsup:

ps dont forget the salt and pepper, gotta add some flavour :-D

Does anyone have a go to mix? In the past I've tried crushing up chicken pellets whilst they are boat side but they never really go crazy. I've actually never targeted gars so I've got no idea where to start. Haha. Was just planning on using a dip net and prawning light as I've watched them swim into the light while spearing.
Years ago I searched for recipes for gar fish burley, and I found a really effective ultra secret one, but if I told you. I'd have to …. you.

Another +1 for supermarket bread crumbs/tuna oil and water for consistency.

Very easy to make and effective!

I'll remember this method of response the next time someone asks a question on the forum. I'll just respond that I have the perfect way to help out but instead I'm just going to gloat about it and not let on... They are bloody garfish at the end of the day.

Thanks fellas for the posts. Ill start off nice and simple with the breadcrumbs/tuna oil and go from there. Cheers.

I think it may be similar to pollard!

Buy your self a yellow burley cage. From bcf $20 i think and put half load bread in it and throw it over the side on a meter of rope and it will slowly let a continous lot of fine bread crumbs out to keep the gars near buy and if you want a bit more every now and then just give it a shake. If you want to you can add pilchards to it but need to shake it to break them up, lately i been soaking a loaf of bread with tuna oil over nite, every time a go out and i just put half of it in the burley bucket at a time. Been getting lots of little pinkies and a few keepers too.

A friend gets all his bread crumbs from his local Vietnamese bakery. When they clean up around and under the slicer they save it all for him. You get a variety of crust, bread and grains he says its the best berley he has used. Just a smile and a thank you does the trick.
