Species include salmon, mullet, sprat, blue and red cod, kahawai, barracouta, trumpeter, blue moki and occasionally kingfish.

Like most areas in the harbour, Boiler Point fishes better on the incoming to high tide.
Most forms of sea fishing work here including ledger rigs, dropper rigs, floats with dead baits (most common for salmon fishing) and spin fishing.
November to March are the most productive months due to a larger number of species present.
