b'FeatureBerley is necessary off the rocks in winter and help bring in baitfish such as piper or kahawai.Piper is an outstanding fresh bait that kahawai, snapper, and kingfish simply cant resist.So, it is worth your time to land several for baits as they can really pay off when things are slow.The larger west coast harbours out on the Tasman side is where I like to fish and have outstanding snapper fishing over winter.Anchoring in shallow water (often under 3m) we like to use a running rig with a 3-4oz ball sinker when the current is running.The sinker sits above the swivel so the fish can take the line easily without the weight coming on directly.I also like to use a recurve style hook like the Black Magic KLT 6/0, which Take a spin rod to rig withmeans snapper will hook themselves sabikis or small hooks to targetin the corner of the mouth as they piper in the berley trail. pick up the bait and run off with it.36FISHING IN GODZONE MAGAZINE'
