I think but not sure berleying (as we call chumming) is illegal in freshwater here. I do know some guys used to hang a dead 'roo or sheep on a branch over the water of inland rivers _ the carcas would get flyblown and the maggots drop into the water _ to attract native fish like Murray Cod or Yellowbelly. And legal: "No officer, I think it got stuck up there in the last flood"
