Who's chasing LB Snapper this weekend?

Just wondering if many planned to chase land based metro snapper this weekend seeing the swell and wind are up? Boating is out this weekend so I was planning on trying my luck, would be good to hear how everyone gets on.

Ducked down to the NM this morning and saw one landed around 12pm.  There were a lot of rods in the water hey.

Think I saw Beau there, not sure if it was him though.

Not sure what you're getting

Not sure what you're getting at there, but i didnt mean I dont go standing on a rock in shitty weather because its unsafe, its because I can go out in the boat in perfect weather and catch them in comfort..

Wanted to hit NM but by the time I finish work that place will be packed so Rous Head might be the go (Haven't had much luck there in the past though)

How many of you blokes fish

How many of you blokes fish solo - what's the protocol with gaffing in that scenario?  You call the closest person over and give them your rod while you go down and do the dirty work trying not to get soaked?
