[quote name='Mr_Willy' post='2989' date='Aug 23 2004, 12:42 PM']Exact opposite. Use a berley that will attract fish like gar, etc. - the fish that squid feed on. Otherwise you can just use a fish based berley - such as just dispersing pilchard chunks at regular intervals..........
The most used option is a teaser - a whole fish with no hooks connected -will get the squid around attacking it, then cast a normal jag to them - if they wont let go of the teaser, slowly pull the teaser out of the water, then as they let go, cast the jag - best to set the teaser under a float!! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/xyxthumbs.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I'm more atuned to fishing, and am almost a total newbie to squid.
Having said that, in the winter bream season across southeast Qld I will often use mullet frames or a couple of slabs of mullet as "Heavy" burley (mullet is cheap as chips up here in winter). I've sighted the bream go balistic over the heavy burley; I then pitch my line/hook with a cube of mullet flesh unweighted into the area of the burley. The technique works well, I can't see why it wouldn't at least assist bring the squid around, even if just the curiosity factor of the small baitfich chewing and fighting over the heavy burley.
I read about the technique in a fishing magazine about 15 years ago, although I've only been using it across the past couple.
