I've got something similar to that hanging out the passenger widow of my car to make sure I keep a safe distance from cyclists....if I hear the bottle break and some yelling I'm getting too close.

I just usually use the passenger door as the cyclist measuring guide to be honest. Does the job

I'm assuming it slowly drips fish oil into the water as a burley/attractant

Not to sure about the choice of stubby though.. thinking that may scare the fish away

I use the cheap flat sponges from coles,tie it to the boat with a bit of line dunk it in the water first squeeze excess out then pour tuna oil on it to soak then chuck out the back,it will float works well
Also use crushed fine weetbix on surface regular intervals

First time hearing of the weetbix but sounds like a good idea :)

Shesh wheatbix, somebody’s got deep pockets,

20kgs of chook pellets is about 15 bux, that’s what I use crushed up in the hand, nice and cloudy in the water, gets them going nice :thumbsup:
