I think I may have to pay it a visit, but will wait till some of the hype dies down.
I do suspect that more pier will equal more fisherpersons and it will still be just as crowded if not more so.
But I guess that is just a fact of pier fishing around the bays, no matter how many piers they build or extend

The funny thing is, the best snapper fishing is back towards the bluestone area.

Might give it a miss unless I can get down mid week at some unsociable hour. Is the rock wall along the shore from the left hand side of the pier any good for fishing?

It is there is a reef edge out there according to a few blokes i met on the pier that had sounded it out. Lotsssss of snags though, mostly other rigs surprisingly.
You know what you'd rather be doinnnn
