Snapper rig on boat

[Shaneoooo]

Just wondering what rigs you people use on a boat for snapper off mornington. Running sinker rig ? And how big of a sinker ?

Depends on the day but typically 2-4oz sinker with paternoster rig.

how deep are you going - 15 - 16 meters I dont use sinkers just 10 lb braid with a 30 lb leader
the bait sinks fast enough by its self and looks more like the cut pillies pieces I use as burley

deeper maybe 1/2 an oz

There's not much current off mornington. You could get away with no sinkers if using big baits. If not a running sinker rig with a small ball sinker is fine

try differant things running sinker fixed and i go sinker less at night if in 5 or less meter's of water

I run a mixture off the boat home tied snapper snatchers. running sinker, weight depends on the current and floaters just cast out as far as possible and left to sink.

No sinkers at all. Just braid to swivel to leader to hooks

IMO fishing unweighted or with ultra light around morington will result in more tangles less baits where the fish are and a lower catch rate.
