6. Cornwallis Wharf

Cornwallis, Waitekere map
Fish from the 200m long wooden wharf on the Manukau Harbour.  We are probably biased including this in the Top 10 as Cornwallis wharf is where we learned to fish as children and our family helped to build the wharf, but we think it deserves to feature in the Top 10.
