Mackerel Oil.
Hi I have about a pint of pure Mackerel oil, it came from Ireland about ten years ago, all the bits have sunk to the bottom of the bottle and the oil is reasonably clear.
I have been thinking about maybe making some paste up using the oil, does anybody have any very easy paste recipes that the oil could be utilised in.
My thoughts were to maybe crush some standard Halibut pellets and maybe mix the powder with the oil , hopefully it would make a nice meallable paste that would be good for making paste wraps.
Any other ideas for ingredients ?
I have also used the oil to spice up deadbaits for Pike, but not really sure if it did any good as I was catching as well without the injected oil as with it , I did notice though, that the oil did produce a really visible "patch " on the surface above and downwind of the bait, where it had smoothed out the wavelets .
