I remember a few years ago watching a group of blokes catching big stingrays off the main jetty at night, good option if you want to stretch your arms.

Jetty
You might find the pub jetty and the fuel jetty you will have a bit more luck with the squid. If you walk up and down them you can often spot them. But if your keen for a ride there is plenty of squid on the green island jetty!

the main jetty is a pretty safe bet for usual bread and butter species, herring, gardie etc, odd flathead. Haven't been there for years but the whole Thompson bay area is seagrass beds so good squid ground.

I went over a couple of weeks ago. Plenty of Tailor off the main jetty at sunset. Try using a float with a glow light. First night I used a sinker and the rays just take it and you can't stop em! Apparently there are squid when the water is clear to.

Bait
Take 2kg prawns ,Pollard & tins of cat food make good berly mix cat food & pollard ,Prawns are not cheap on the rock.Always a feed of herring around but stay off the bottom the big baits or Ray will get you.Trick is to find a good spot berly it up and stay there fish wil come to you.Army jetty is good spot Whitting ,herring & flatys and still shelted a bit from the Doctor and a pleasent bike ride from the settelment.Have Photo if you dont know where army jetty is.
