Have caught and released a size snapper at a secret spot between bicton baths and the east freo yacht club. Was on bream gear :).  caught 10, 1 was just size, 2 were within 10cm and the rest were like 20cm-30cm.

 

Mind you we were in a tinny, but easily close enough to a little jetty you could have casted off , out as far as were we anchored up.

Was getting pinkies in the mid 40's at the end of summer chasing flattys around the east freo way. They will be sized this year, can't wait to land a sized river snapper
