Nike.
Just do it. Perhaps he'd get some snapper, perhaps he die trying. It's not for us to stop people enjoying their life. Peace and do what makes you happy - just don't hurt anyone else. ;)

good call mate
can't miss an opportunity to catch a feed like this,
plus you won't need to queue at the boat ramp.
Just remember snapper bite better at night, as long as you have a torch, you will be fine.
Also make sure you get close to the reef - that is where the fish are.
Make sure you post how you go.
Wise man says - first take the plank out of your own eye before trying to take the speck out of somebody else's.

Youre only allowed to go if
Youre only allowed to go if you promise to catch at least 10 pinkies over 1m and keep only one and not take photos.
Dont worry about any safety equipment its overrated just take a non waterproof torch to shine to shore if youre in trouble

Fisherman 1992 I think it was, sadly never to be seen again after his little outburst

That was so bloody funny
Yes that was him, and did we all have a great "shock and horror".
And then all took the piss out of him. Still one of my favourite all time posts.

"But I plan to go tonite
Have no Nav lights, Mobile battery is dodgy and not a smart phone, dont bother with storing the local sea rescue number, noticed a slow leak in the boat, have dodgy shoulder and the bail bucket is a cut up milk bottle. Dont have any mates so wont be able to tell anyone my ETA. Also noticed I have only got one oar shackle. Since inshore no flares. Used to be a good swimmers but with the stuffed shoulders not so flash now. Life jacket sort of fraying at the edges, and I think it was for my son, pretty tight fit. Thanks for the advise on the torch, but on off those cheap ones from Bunnings.
By the way, how many snapper can you catch, last time I got eight. Kept me in supply for ages"
This is obviously all very tongue in cheek to do with an idiot some years ago. I have every bit of safety gear you can imagine on my boat, AND I would NEVER go out in this. Carnarvonite (apart from footy) and Iceman and I are on the exact same page.
Just could resist revisiting Fisherman1992 comments from a couple of years back.
PS. Anyone know if he is still floating somewhere!!!!

See you all out there - Just
See you all out there - Just thought (incredibly enough) of a use for the small (useless) inflatable esky given to me for Xmas buy the sister in law
- after all I ate the last snapper in the freezer two weeks ago and need to restock.
Unfortunately no room for safety gear or nav lights once I jam my arse into the thing.......
Just look for the guy who looks like he has his arse jammed into a floatie :-)
I don't have any marks but will just head for the floatilla of fishwreckers on the 100m line....

I always looked at my 110l
I always looked at my 110l Xtreme Cooler and wondered if I would fit in it. Surely, I weigh 120kg, and the cooler is 110l, there must be more than 10kg of buoyancy in the walls. Just need a rod holder and outboard bracket and it will be fine!

I'd rate my Xtreme cooler a little higher than the inflatable thing (which doesn't even have a lid) I got for Xmas.

Don't worry about the anchor, I've heard the spot lock on the Minn Kota works best in 5m+ swells
