Make your ground bait up in advance & freeze it it ice cream tubs,lower it
on a rope or down the anchor line in a weighted onion sack & it will release
as it thaws.Depends on depth & tide run how affective it is,also try a film
canister just above your trace with bait ,bran & fish oil to attract to the
hook,refill as you rebait.

The message
from "Derek" contains these words:

I've been considering groundbaiting for a while trouble is when the tide
is
running in about half an hour it will be a mile or more away what seems
to
be needed is a slow release maybe a nice oily pile of mackie guts and
bits
in a hessian type bag on the anchor rope to give a stream of
appetising smells for a longer period?

Years ago we used to set up something simular with a string carrot bag
like you find laying around on the floor of any market, stick a
housebrick in the bottom and fill it full of offal chopped up then lower
it on a rope to the bottom,
this was on a river but dont see why it shouldnt work for boat fishing,
on the river we would set it up then fish a few yards below the bag
using lumps of meat or fish deadbait for eels and Pike,

Terry
