Anyone interested to join me for land based snapper fishing or general land based fishing?

There are no problems, using this gear on a pier. If you go to Mordi pier, they guys right at the end will be using surf gear.
Drop down to Mornington pier, there are plenty of people using 12 foot rods.

Depending on the size, just grab the leader and lift it up, hopefully the knots hold, otherwise a net or gaff. The other option is to walk the fish down to a landing or to the beach.
