Did a bit of this in the weekend, dead low tide, wading out in the surf beach and tiffing it out, had a huge oil slick going.
On surf beaches its best to use a stand and attach burley out on low tide and allow the tide to push it around, then get the stand on low again.
On shingle beaches, the old rope on a rod stand and chuck her in, or again, throwing them out, dices up bits of goodness. calm weather and offshore conditions are best, just watch the slick go!
Some fish are better suited to burley, like ours brough in allot of bait and kahawai, at the right time of year it would have worked well on kingfish too. It works well in little bays when targeting moki and other fish where you are not casting 150 metres past it making the burly pointless. Better suited to pelagic speciesWairoa Hawkesbay
Not used enough yet but 1st time I got my first snapper in awhile 45cm and a nice Kahawai very happy with that guy with me got nothing so yea they work, but of cause they have there limitations i.e. you wouldn't use them in really fowl ground.
