Ocean Reef Fishing Report
Submitted by Zach Loudon on Mon, 2011-06-13 16:55
A huge school of herring at ocean reef yesterday, they were bitting on peeled prawn, and gulp maggots. Didn't even need berley, although it may have helped. I had two rods going and as soon as i'd get one out, finish baiting up the other, and casting that one out, the first was hooked on. Also got a couple of wrasse and put them back.

He means
a small metal lure called a Halco Twisty, possible the most commonly used metal slug (along with Spaniard Raider) used in WA.
Not sure what fish would eat a twisties chip, not sure if i'd eat it either

twisties chip
matty herring love twisties and most other chips! i use them as berley for the herring when fishing shallow water where trumpeters are thick!! there great they float the herring love them and you dont excite the trumpeter schools!
ALL FISHERMEN ARE LIARS EXCEPT YOU AND ME! AND IM NOT SO SURE ABOUT YOU!
