Close options would be to jump on the Fullers ferry to Urapukapuka and the work your way around the islands depending on the weather. One spot I've been meaning to give a go is off the back of Roberton, plenty of good ledges along there.
Otherwise drive to Tapeka Point beach at Russell and head around the corner till you hit the ledge...you can walk it but it does depend on the tides. Good snapper fishing here.
But considering the scope of the area you can cover, Matuari to Tutukaka, you have an endless amount of options really.
If it was up to me I'd probably have a nosey around Doubtless Bay.

Rawhiti is the best option at the moment.
No fish garanteed but your chances are better around there. The last couple of weeks has seen some hard fishing but the guys who put in the effort get at least one really good fish.
