Your 99 % there already . Snapper are an easy fish to get in the sound. FRESH bait is the key and UNWEIGHTED rigs are definitely alot more productive. ( weather permitting ) . Most of the best snapper I have ever got have been no more than 5 minutes from the ramp .

Good Luck - Hope this helps

Try burleying up with some cubed pilchards

That may help bring the snappers to you.

Chop a few up at the start toos em in, then steady trickle every now and then with a few pellets also thrown in.

Plenty off gummy sharks around in the sound also to add a bit off fun.
