Algies Bay has access to some of the best fishing in the Auckland region. Heading out from the bay you don’t have to go far for a feed, but if you want to explore, the options are many.
Head toward Maori Rock (northeast) and this opens up options to the back of Kawau Island, Omaha, Leigh, Little Barrier and Great Barrier. Head south east and you’ll encounter a series of islands; if you keep going you’ll enter the open water between Tiritiri Matangi and Flat Rock.
New marine protections now apply in the Hauraki Gulf. High Protection Areas (HPAs) protect and restore marine ecosystems, allow active restoration of the underwater habitat, and enable authorised customary fishing practices to continue.
