I use it in a sea loch, fishing off the side of a fish quay. At that venue it's more about keeping them there than attracting them. Bread as a hook bait, the odd bit thrown in, but I try not to do that too much as it tends to attract gulls.
The PVA wont melt in any salt solution
just pierce the bag a good few times to let the contents ooze out, if your putting fishy baits in first add salt to them to make them PVA friendly and then add some fishy oil of your choice, loads to choose from. I have tried different pellets mixed with krill powder with crab and crayfish oil, i have only tried a couple of times, still experimenting. Its only cus i do alot of carp fishing aswell that i have tried these things 
Sounds interesting, may give it ago for sure. Good point on making the bait pva friendly, wouldn't have thought of that and wondered why it was not working lolThe PVA wont melt in any salt solution
The gulls pick up on it very quickly , and the swans and ducks oh and bass, all ecept mullet ? Fussy things
I use alot of high scent fishy baits and attractants for the carp fishing aswell so been crossing them over to see what happens
I have few mates that do arp fishing and was shocked at what you can get to add to your bait.I use alot of high scent fishy baits and attractants for the carp fishing aswell so been crossing them over to see what happens
Sea fish will eat bloody anything if its in its path and carp baits have caught a few, not sure my black lug will catch carp but i am going to try at some point. The one lake i fish is full of big black leeches and carp will eat them plus carp love salty baits so black lug could be a killer
Think you you could be onto something there, and why not. I am shock at what fish eat sometimes. All worth a go and would make for on hell of a catch report. ? But seriously it has to work, it will be finding out when and what part of the year they might like it most I am guessingSea fish will eat bloody anything if its in its path and carp baits have caught a few, not sure my black lug will catch carp but i am going to try at some point.

I bet you have also considered using pellet/boilie baits soaked in flavouring, just as I have Rich. I'd be interested to hear if you have ever tried it.I use alot of high scent fishy baits and attractants for the carp fishing aswell so been crossing them over to see what happens

I have caught mackerel, bream off the boat on 8mm squid boilies, dogfish, dabs off the shore on 10mm krill so far but only tried once off the boat and twice off the shore so still got loads of experimenting. Also proves you dont need big baits to catch fish, JLD taught me that, he would use a quarter of what me and mate were using and still out fish us. I'm not saying you can catch all species with carp baits but time will tell, plus it's so clean to fish with. All have been hooked hair rig style like carp fishing, if your plagued by crabs I guess you could use the pop up versions to keep them off the bottom but not tried that yet as dont get alot of problems with crabs where I fish. Hopefully when I'm allowed back in Wales I will do a report and pictures of how the next experiment goes, I'm pretty sure it will be dogs and Whiting next trip ?
Excellent fishing, great idea ??many years ago, before some of the open matches on the south coast ( portchester open etc ) used to dig bait the day before over low water, where we wanted to fish
at the same time, used to dig in buckets of wet and dry dog food, spread pretty much exactly where we were going to fish
marked the area with a cork pike bung on a few m of line tied to / wrapped round a stone on the ground
decent size patch, of ground covered
always stayed the night before on the mark, few beers, smokes just to make sure no one else bagged it
next day, things would undoubably fall into place, just a case of casting in the general vicinity of the float
last chuck of the day would entail, wrapping a 3 hook flapper round the float n line and dragging it in, bingo, no markers anywhere anymore
wouldnt call it cheating, more like a bit of watercraft / prep work
that was in the days before the onlaught of poxy spiky silver things in the harbours n creeks, and flounder were pretty much the only target
with some rather spectacular bags possible
Hopefully it won't be long, and look forward to your report mate , be safe

If I can get out of my current predicament I intend to try using a maggot rig. Small hooks. See what I can catch off the jetty or in the rough stuff. Been thinking about it for months but not been well enough to put it into action.
