Amity Point Tuskies

[Daryl McPhee]

As some of you know I work on Straddie for a few months of the year and get a chance to occasionally wet a line. I like fishing at Amity Point because of the variety of fish that are there, and that you never know what you will get from one trip to another. As well as the usual spangled emperor, squire, Moses Perch and grassies, this time I got some tuskfish and Eva got to catch her first ever black spotted tuskfish. Black spotted tuskfish are probably rarely taken land based so to get a few was very rewarding. They go like submarines. Probably the most unusual landbased catch on this trip was a gold spot pigfish (safely released).

They do grow up quick! Bigger children = bigger fish.

Hi Neil, 

She has grown up quick and I will say hello to both the kids! There were a lot of spearos (more than usual) and at times I couldn't line fish among them and left them to it. One group killed a Queensland groper. One group got followed by a big lemon shark but were completely oblivious and dismissive when I told them. They may become one of the statistics I work on! 

I was surprised that we could still pull those big tuskies from their given the amount of spearos.
