The launching ramp at the northern end of the Manu Bay reserve allows direct launching into the Tasman Sea.  Off the coast, snapper kahawai, kingfish, tuna and gurnard can be found and in the January to March period, albacore tuna along with striped and black marlin out at the Mokau Trench. A fishing tournament is held by the Raglan Sport Fishing Club at Manu Bay every year on the Sunday of Auckland Anniversary Weekend (towards the end of January).
