Old Scaley

Hi. I have fished Amity from the shore many times. You rarely catch something legal, but there are plenty of fish there to keep you interested.  That said I know @straddiebrad picked up a ripper snapper off the  end of one of the rock groins at the camp grounds in section A.  
 
Amity offers a range of fishing and has pretty deep water accessible from the shore.  I have broken the area into 3 sections.  
Section A  has a few sections as well. The rock groins can offer some good small reef species, like snapper and Moses perch.  You can also successfully work a squid jig over the sand and grass sections in between. 
 
On a good day you can pick up some small  flathead and bream working a plastic over the sand and grass   
 
Lots of people fish from the jetty but I do not rate it since the sand has reduced the depth  it is good, late dusk and night to chase squid on the right tide   For kids though you can put a small hook on and fish under the lights and catch endless butter bream   They are ok on the chew cooked whole.
The last section to fish here is the end of the old boat ramp and to a lesser extent the rock wall at the park   You can fish bait here or plastics.  I have caught some nice pan sized snapper here   On it’s day you can stand on the end of the ramp with a slug on, cast out let it sink and the spin it back quickly and pick up endless bonito. 
 
Section B  
The rock wall section.  There are several streets that end at the rock wall giving access  Beware the neighbours think they own the shoreline and get pretty cranky if you try and rock hop down the wall. It can be fun to fish this area but stick to the slack tide times. It can be frustrating with the snags here but it offers a lot of reef species. The channel comes in close here and offers depths of 15m   I have caught legal snapper, grassy sweet lip and tusk fish here. 
 
On a northerly wind the bait gets pushed into the wall and can have long tailed tuna within casting distance  I personally have not caught one, but boy it is exciting trying to, with bust ups metres from the shore  
Section C 
This is where the rock wall meets the beach. It offers the reef species casting back along the wall and where the sand meets the rocks. It can be very productive  there. There can also be some very nice bream and tarwhine here on bait and plastics  
The beach offers some fun with a tiny whiting hook, with many whiting and bream available to catch  
On its day if you are lucky, you can spin up schoolies and spotty mackerels, so make sure you always have a few slugs in the tackle box  I have caught them on two occasions there. 
 
I hope that helps. Tackle on the island is expensive and there is not a huge choice, so make sure you have sufficient before you catch the ferry across  I love ❤️ Straddie and Amity  if you have a car there are some awesome fishing opportunities over at Pt lookout   Good luck and have fun  
 

Snapper for team south, almost identical to other one but its not the same fish, but might spark some controversy for team north to whinge about lol 😁

Both graveyards for good footballlers (Tigers and Dogs) had a win. Bizarro season already. 

Get that up up your Cronulla.

Tough round for tippers this week. Good luck (but not too much) fellas. 

Looks like Tuesday might be the pick of the days next week at this point…..

Best wishes Rebel. Well try to keep you amused during your convalescence. 

I am lucky no driving for a week and no lifting more than 5kg for a month . I interpret that as no NPD forkies for a month.

Best wishes Rebel. Well try to keep you amused during your convalescence.

Me ...... 🙃🤣

Fished Jumpinpin today and contrary to the forecast the weather was perfect. No wind or rain. No run either so not a lot of fish. 6 whiting in the early 30s and a thousand tiny whiting and undersized tarwine. Crabs came to the party though with four good bucks to take home and a lot of giant females.

ROUND 2 results
THURSDAY MARCH 14
Broncos 28  vs.  18 Rabbitohs Suncorp Stadium 7:00pm AEST
It’s only round 2 and the rustiness is noticeable… The Broncos nearly always looked in control, even with the, at times, fumbling and bumbling… the Bunnies look a team that has deep problems, distorted and divided…
FRIDAY MARCH 15
Sharks 25  vs.  6 Bulldogs PointsBet Stadium 5:00pm AEST
once again the Sharks appear to have an easier draw in the early part of the season, to  build up the early ladder points…. it’s a long way to the home straight
Panthers 26  vs.  18 Eels BlueBet Stadium 7:05pm AEST
this game was always going to be a showing of where the Eels are starting 2024..  the  2nd 40 minutes show they may struggle in a top 8 position again… if they are in the season’s ending  top 8
SATURDAY MARCH 16
Raiders 32  vs.  12 Tigers GIO Stadium 2:00pm AEST
2024 may be another long season for the Tigers… if the NRL media’s ‘self  appointed’ NRL experts along with the aged ‘ ex team support players’ now self appointed ‘yesteryear’s game heroes, with their mid week expert opiniated commentary, started focusing on the Tigers  rebuild positives, it may go a long way to help lift the lower ladder as a whole.
 
Cowboys 21  vs.  20 Knights Qld Country Bank Stadium 4:30pm AEST
fancy that… the Knights turned up wanting and playing for the win… the Cowboys never looked comfortable in this match, trailed all game until 77 minute mark  to get to a 80 minute 20 -20 scoreline…GP in play.. 81 minutes Chad Townsend puts in a pot shot, winner-winner Cowboys get the chicken dinner
Storm 30  vs.  26 Warriors AAMI Park 6:35pm AEST
there you go 12 points in 3 minutes… and a flying Big Top acrobatic touch down by Coates  snatched game-set-and match from the gut-wrenched Warriors (and the Kiwi Storm supporters wearing their homeland jerseys for the night)
SUNDAY MARCH 17
Sea Eagles 21  vs.  14 Roosters 4 Pines Stadium 3:05pm AEST
Yeah okay…. Manly has won 2 in a row to start 2024… the Roosters turned themselves into achicken and chips dinner by the seaside
Dolphins 38  vs. 0 Dragons Kayo Stadium 5:15pm AEST
leading into round 1, Bennett  said no one’s position in 2024 was safe… after the round 1 performance, Bennett and Woolfe  having given first up opportunities, culled the unproductive potential and round 2 flowed smother with a 38 – 0 win….
Go the Dolphins, BUT… they did clean up the 2023 Ladder 16th place…
Bye: Titans
All up some great footy was played through the round… and some poor footy was played through the round… some from last year are still in trouble… some will hopefully build through this season… The Storm are showing they want to be in the Grand Final, and Manly are, one blown turbo away from Plans B&C

Same way I approach all other tides @Bretto77  Just get out when wind and weather allow and if you brain the fish it is a bonus. 

This is our opportunity to have a say - i encourage everyone to at least read the proposal

Congrats
 
 

Won't be one of these 3 dropping out - You beauty - Perfect round 2

That try was unbelievable. Warriors were unlucky not to win. As were Newcastle. Worked out well for us tipsters though. @GregOug, I haven’t had any trouble with tips or margins changing but it takes the fun out of it a bit when you can’t see others tips during the game.
