Amity Point!!!

[tailorboi99]

Hello, I went to Amity Point for 2 nights with my mum. When we arrived on the island we thought wow this is nice and peaceful. Anyway we put up our tent, then I chose to go and have a fish. I decided to get a bag of Hardiheads from the local store. I threw my line out near the mesh of the swimming net, BANG i'm on to a decent size Bream, after a minute fight with some headshakes and runs I get him up to the Pier, my biggest Bream so far 26cm. Couple of casts later BANG i'm on yet again to another nice Bream at 24cm. I then decided to cast down below the pier. Down below the pier I brought up, 4 Happy Moments, 2 Silver Trevally and a Bream.

That night I decided to go for another fish with just one of my bait jigs. That night I pulled up 4 Butter Bream, 1 Pike and a Bream.

5.30am Next morning decided to go for a live bait session of the pier. A nice guy called Callum was fishing there with plastics. Callum caught a Pike and a Slimy Mackeral. We then started talking and then became mates. We threw out the Slimy out as there were Mack Tuna over 75Kg and a metre leaping for Baitfish. I then started throwing out a slug on my other rod, looking for a Dirty Pike for some more Bait. Anyway that morning was Brilliant even though nothing took the bait and I didn't catch anything all the less. We saw some Mack Tuna jumping and some Dolphins feeding!

Next day, my mum and I decide to go for a swim on Point Lookout beach, the weather was brilliant so was the sea. When we got back to Amity I chose to go for a Slug session in hope for a Tailor or Trevally, Caught nothing but a Seagull which some lads named Michael and Dom helped me to release.

That night at 6.30pm, Michael, Dom and I decided to go for a session of the pier. All we got were some Squid and Squire.

Last morning of the my camping trip 5.00am, I decide to go for a session on the beach near the 2nd rock wall to the left of the pier. I chose to take some Pillies down and a rod with a Slug on it. First cast with the Pillie I got smashed by a big Tailor! What a good fight until I beached the Big Fello, I then measured him, he went at 44cm to the tip of his tail! The biggest I've ever caught!!! I then get a photo and I hand him to Doms Dad to keep as one of the gangs was making him bleed all over the place poor guy I would have released him if he wasn't in such a bad state! I then loose all my bait to Bream and little guys. Head back to camp with a smile on my face but a dull one at the same time from killing the Tailor.

Altogether my Mum and I had a great time and hope to go to Tangalooma or Straddie again.

Here are some photos of the trip.

Good on ya mate!

I spent the best part of my youth at Amity, school holidays, weekends, and still get over there when I can. Looks like you had good weather, it blew the dog off it's chain over Xmas/New Year.
That 2nd groyne is a hot spot on the turn of the tide with an unweighted hardihead or livie, but don't tell anyone OK
