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
