A new $1 million fishing wharf in Port Chalmers is proving popular with anglers.

The recently opened Boiler Point wharf (below) was packed yesterday as anglers made the most of a sunny morning.

They reported good catches of blue warehou in the area.

Mellisa Gillanders (above), of Dunedin, was among those to snag one of the fish.

Sounds like a perfect location for an annual fishing competition for under 16 year olds. 'Take a kid fishing', opportunities identifying fish and ecology. BBQ and a prize giving with an Otago Uni representative in marine science, the current Mayor and Port CEO as the prize givers.
