Great evening and night fishing, with rising tide and a southerly wind. Kahawai, blue cod are caught during daylight hours and night fishing for tarakihi (January to May) and red cod (June to October).
Good place for big blue cod and tarakihi in 40 to 80 metres. King-fish can be got in the summer and warehou in the winter around the major pinnacles. It can be a very tidal and expensive on terminal tackle with numbers of barracouta, sharks and snags. Groper are caught in the deeper patches from 75 to 125 metres.
