Is East Arm ramp chockers on weekends?

I know Dinah Beach is at full capacity on weekends - and was from the day it was upgraded - but is East Arm ramp (the one near Hudson Creek) chockers on weekends?

It does get crowded when both the weather & tides are good.

ive always been able to get a park at Dinah bch and east arm. east arm seems to be more open to thieves because of its relative remoteness compared to Dinah with all the units overlooking the carpark.
ive seen more broken glass at east arm than anywhere else.
I have the theory (maybe incorrect) that the crooks are less likely to break in at Dinah because of the units nearby.
then again, I know someone who was fishing just off east arm and heard a car alarm going off - took no action (like most of us) only to find that it was HIS car that was broken into.

Ive heard that east earm ramp is to be demolished and become part of the upgrade - that was 3 years ago that I heard it so probably rumour.
east arm would make a great secure compound.

has anyone heard that Buff ck compound is to close down?

Interesting that you can get parks at Dinah on a weekend, used to be trailers down the road.

I think it depends on the tides and the time of day. I only use Dinah if I am going to be there early or after midday, I wouldn't try after 8:30am. Otherwise, I go to East arm and figure the extra 15 minute drive will offset the wait at Dinah.

I heard buff ck lease was signed till mid next year.
how many is enough lures, rods and reels. Is there a magic number, considering you usually only catch 1 fish on a single lure on the one rod and reel your casting with.
