Leave me some fish ROTOWARRIORS  I will be up there again this week.  You have been informed correctly re the sticky fingered sods out Matai Bay way - its not advised that you go past the entrance to the DOC camping ground - if you leave your vehicle on that track you may find it deliberately damaged on your return....

Hey Fishmn is that the Gamefishing club ramp or the other one???

Ta MK

Rangiputa.
Beach access with hard sand.. Limited parking roadside but plenty above high water mark..
(check your tides , see photo for parking)..


As you can see no problems for a larger boat

Parking above the high water mark..
Plenty of room along the whole beach as long as its NOT full tide where 4wd
would then be recommended.


The entrance to Rangaunu Harbour... (few mins from beach launch)
(Check your Hydro Maps or GPS for guidance for the locations of the bricks)

Around from the entrance and looking across Rangaunu Bay towards
Gt Exhibition Bay in the far right distance.
HouHora entrance and Mt Camel centre background.

Hi all, does anyone have pics and/or advise on the One Tree Point boat ramp at Whangarei? I'm pretty sure its concrete but any further advise or pics would be appreciated.

Hi Guys this is gold! does any one have info for kuaotuna?

I Should tell ya, as it only will encourage all the people from Whitanga and Matarangi, as it is
I find it easier to drop the ute and trailer back home over the holidays, and call up and get someone to meet us at the ramp.
1st of all its not a good ramp at low tide, especially if you have a boat over 5m plus, two reasons. (1) very little water at the ramp and you will be backing your car in to salt water
(2) People coming in cant tell how many people are waiting to get there boats out
or people wanting to get out due to the break water wall, and its amazing how many people think they have R.O.W when coming in.
When leaving the ramp prefabley 2 hrs either side of low tide, head to the first Rock that has a marker on it. turn hard to home bay at the Mercs keeping the two markers on the
hill side in line with the marker on the rock (this gives you three points), to the Left
10 yard out is a massive rock, which just breaks the water line at low tide. Chewed many a prop that on. Rocks to the right of you also, so don't over stare. Best time to go out
is in the evening, go out 400m on dusk, slightly to the right of the point and line up home bay, plus less people and no pressure to put your boat in or out. Just REMEMBER to have
plenty of patience over Xmas time, there's been enough punch up's on this ramp
Sorry I dont have any pictures, but I believe the best time to take them is at low
tide about 10 oclock when the wind get's up, people are coming in and people
are tring to get out, its better than buying a ticket to watch the All Blacks play
 at Eden park.
