For all those that visit Oraki Wharf (across from Kelly Taltons) went the yesterday with the better half, and it was going off....arrived at 7-15 am and left around 3pm  never seen that many snapper or ky, one bloke had a snapper around 60cm and a couple of large ky. also two good size JD were taken on squid bait and small yellow tail...even the kids were catching pan sized snapper around 30cm ..great day.

Plenty of happy memorys on that wharf. Me and Tiny used to bunk school and catch the bus and spend the day fishing there.
Never forget 1 day saw a Islander guy catch a huge Stingray and landed it on the old landing platform ( long gone now ) then he left the Ray there and bolted of up the wharf back to his car. Only 2 minutes to come running back down with a shot gun. Blew the poor Stingray to smithereens. 3 minutes later place was swarming with Police arresting him.
Seen some big Kingfish caught there as well. Awesome place to teach the kids fishing.Good to se it still catches fish.
