Fishing near Porirua, Wellington
Porirua sits on the shores of Porirua Harbour, a two-armed tidal harbour that anchors the local fishing scene. The harbour and its Pāuatahanui Inlet draw shore anglers after kahawai, trevally, gurnard, and the occasional ray, while Titahi Bay and the rocky headlands nearby extend the options for surfcasters. Boat anglers run charters out toward Kapiti and Mana, targeting blue cod, tarakihi, snapper, and groper over a range of offshore marks.
