hi donal
probably a bad time of year really to be trying this (I think) there being less fish about and all also I would not boil things like fish oils they can be denatured and loose their flavour try boiling up the cerel and let them cool then mince up the the fish and add it with the cod liver oil before you start.

I was thinking of doing something similar myself for mullet during the summer, alas i am cursed with a terrible affliction called lazyness :D

i use coarse fishing brown crumb and liquidised bread for my base, all the weetabix stuff and cereals sounds like it would only do the same job for more effort. brown crumb is cheap i get 25kg for 23 euro.

additives are fish oils, mashed up mack, canned mack, sardines, canned sardines, catfood, cut up prawns, mussles, worm, bits of crab etc ect.

i find its great for wrasse, pollock and mullet
