Thread: Snapper rig and advice for Kenepuru area

I have been many times up this way and caught a few snaps but none larger than 4-5 lbs.
I was taught to use pillys with hook thru the head, another thru the tail. Half hitch the line around the tail with a bit of trace up to a swivel and above that a free running sinker.

I am keen to hear if some other rigs and bait are any better, including hook and sinker size.
Also what depth should I target for some larger fish or is there just normally school fish in that area with the odd big one?
I will be based near Portage for a week so if there any decent spots you know, worth a look, I am all ears as well.

Cheers
