The warm moist sub-tropical climate of Northland, often referred to as the ‘winterless north’, encourages the growth of mangrove swamps that edge the great bays and harbours, (the Kaipara being the largest in New Zealand), and creep up into the tidal estuaries and river mouths. This is a region of sand, shellfish, and birds all connected to either the Tasman Sea on one side of the long narrow land mass, or the Pacific on the other. Because of this topography there are only a few rivers that are recreational fisheries, but despite hearsay to the contrary, whitebaiting has been no less a long established and productive activity here, particularly by Maori. The Otaika River runs through Whangarei and people catch whitebait right in town. On the East coast north of the city baiting is also done at Ngunguru Spit.
