Re: wellington spear fishing
Just over the south coast go over red rocks over devils gate and drive around about 5 min. i went spear fishing there last weekend, caught a few decent sized mokis and butterfish. first time out there. was great fun 

Re: wellington spear fishing
I think my mate used to head out here with good success with Butter Fish. I can't remember what it's called, but it's easily accessible. (zoom map out to see where it is!)
Also, if you feel like walking for about 45 mins you can head to Boom Rock, north from Makara Beach.

Re: wellington spear fishing
Anywhere around the south coast is ok for butterfish, Moke etc just a matter of exploring it
