[quote name='Mudskipper' post='19736' date='Jun 17 2010, 05:53 PM']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.

When ever i go fishing i always take a couple of tins of no brand sardines in oil.
works great for squid gars mullet salmon ect ect and pratical to transport /carry in small bag.
I get the tin and put one small hole in it with the point of a knife and place it in my small berley bucket along with a few slices of bread
give it a shake now and then.
You,ll be surprised how far the slick will go ............over a Km no problems, and also smooths out water surface effected by wind.
just add a decent sinker to get it to the bottom and the oil will travel through the entire water column to the surface.
At about 90 cents a tin cheap and effective and after use put in the bin.
you can also open the tin and eat the sards if you wish <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
