| Recreational Fishing Rules |

The full fisheries regulations are available at
Ministry of Fisheries website
Note that different regions have different rules for different methods for different species. It is important that you know where you are fishing (e.g Auckland), what type of fish you are taking (e.g. Snapper) and the fishing method (e.g. rod and line) you are using. Note that the fishing regions do not necessarily follow other regional boundaries (for example regional or city council boundaries).

| Send us your pictures |
| We want your fishing pics! Send us a picture of your great (and not so great!) fishing pics and we will load them here on the site. |
| Staying Safe while fishing |
| New Zealand has a long and fantastic coastline, and offers so many opportunities for boat, rock and beach fishing. But anyone can get into difficulty or worse when on and around the water. There are some basic things you can do to ensure that your fishing is safe and enjoyable. |
