hey levi, welcome to the forum.

BA's talking about the main ferry to waiheke that comes in at matiatia

Also worth a shot are the rocks out to the left of oneroa and both sides of palm beach.

In fact theres plenty of spots worth a fish round that island

Blaze,

Fished one of the islands off the back of Waiheke once. Accessed it from Kawakawa bay in the dinghy. Good set up, deep water, a bit of current, nice ledge to fish on etc. Caught nothing but piper, and a few small kahawai. Im sure it would fire on its day.

A few dickheads in boats anchored about 20 metres from us!!

In some of my younger years when my dad lived at Palm Beach we had some very successful fishing off the right hand side of Palm Beach (not all the way out to the point either but back about 75m facing the left hand side of the bay. Caught many snaps there biggest went to my younger brother of around the 5.5kg mark an I got a 6.35kg trev there one day which is still my personal best trev.

Had some awesome fishing also around the left hand point of Onetangi bay, we walked there from Palm beach though and took a hell of a long time to get there and had to do it at a lowish tide. The fishing was awesome though! Schools of slimies all around the ledge and big kings feeding hard on them right at our feet (didn't have any gear suitable for targetting them at the time though) but was awesome to watch, we caught a shyte load of good sized pannies though including a 4.5kg snap on a heavy duty handline just thrown out about 2m in front of our feet.

Biggest snap we ever got off the island went to my dad with a snap of 12.27kg out of a dinghy in the shallows in the right hand side of Onetangi bay in the middle of winter Thumbs%20Up

Would love to head back there one day and revisit some of our old favourite spots.

Tried landbased off Park Pt (to the right of the ferry) a couple of weeks ago. Looked promising at full tide but very rocky for about 30m out at low tide just about the length of the point.

I'm a local but only occasionally fish here during the summer since there are to many bait thieving baby snapper around, winter improves a bit.  The island to the north of Matiatia used to be my favourite spot with some good kings cruising around at times.

Interestingly there have been a few kings caught at Huruhi Bay (Surfdale) from the seat on the gravel Esplanade Rd that goes around the coast from Blackpool to Surfdale.  Its only 2m deep here at low tide but seems to be fishing well at high tide and dusk at the moment.

Cheers
Grant

It's called sarcasm last I heard. 
The wharf actually in its own way has produced alot of good fish for my mates and myself as it is a great place to get fresh bait which in turn get the bigger fish later on. 
 
The best spots I have fished over there have been accessed with a boat but had many a productive time just walking either side of the ferry.  I like the cooler months for that area myslef as there are to many gold fish in the summer.

Some guy caught a 12kg munter of a snapper off the rocks at Palm Beach early Feb I think it was. The pic is in one of the recent NZFN mags. That's a wicked fish from that area.
What's the cheapest type of meat? Dear balls. They're under a buck.

There must be some wicked fish residing in close around Waiheke. I am soon to acquire a kayak which I�ll keep at the bach over there. I intend to use it to get to some hard to get to spots. If I get busted off by something decent from the rocks, I�ll just re-rig, jump in the kayak and try from the other angle.
