Cast, Catch, and Relax by the Water!
Wellington sits at the southern tip of the North Island where the harbour meets Cook Strait — making it one of New Zealand’s most productive urban fishing locations. Snapper, kahawai, gurnard, and kingfish are all catchable from Wellington Harbour and Cook Strait depending on the season. Shore fishing from wharves and rocky points — including Petone Wharf, Greta Point, and Oriental Bay — is accessible year-round, while boat anglers head further into the strait for larger species.
