They are just playing. They want to start an internet rumor of a blitz. I dont fish down that way much but it may be herring.

Everything is better on the rocks.

Rough surf? Possibly broken up clams.

Could be schoolies if you are talking western sound. Herring are a possibility too.

the sound is rumored to be infested with sea herring in numbers not seen in decades.

No worries - the pair trawlers will be down there shortly to take care of them.
