I regret not Spearfishing here sooner! 

Cheers Jesse!! Plenty more to come

Water has often been dirty when up those ways. I’ll give it one day when nice and clean, and with a buddy. Also could you please maybe edit that name of wreck out of there so don’t give away the area (respect the locals) obviously people who have been there will recognise the spots but want to try keep it to that. Cheers for the comment!

Thanks Adrian!

Cheers Richard! Means a lot. Stoked you are enjoying them

Haha yeah a bit cold, but can’t complain, guys down south are in much colder water!

Yeah it’s been much the same up here for a few months very small windows but starting to settle a bit finally. Hills are a great plan b!

Yep!

Thanks Rafael!! We will see!

Only way!

Haha cheers Ed

Cheers bro

mainly just look for days when there hasn't been swell or wind pumping in recently, spring is normally the cleanest water as far as I've experienced but honestly just try moving spots can be like soup in one spot and clear as 500m down the coast

Recent big downpours can also result in silt in the harbours which reduces visibility. So always give it a while after big rainstorms.

Anywhere close to Auckland central is dirty water from all the runoff, silt from construction, etc etc and harbours/type of geology in the area. Really you need to travel up towards Leigh coast to start getting some cleaner water. After heavy rain and swell is usually a no go for a few days close in. Check cawthron eye satellite images and have a play around you will see the water colouration. Leering your local areas help. Head north or coro, more fish too

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit Awesome, thanks bro!

thanks for that!

Yep bloody awesome glass over! Just nice and light, easy to tow. Can even roll it up for storage etc. nice to dove out of on soft pontoons etc. cheaper as well I guess. I’ll eventually move jnto a pontoon but keep this for quick easy missions

Sure was! 5mm suit water around 15 degrees

Ok will try that out!

Don’t be jealous mate get into it plenty of seafood for all !

🤣🤣

Yep island style it’s great! Haha yeah much easier with a real knife

Nice mate great gear!

Bugger, I hear there is real science behind that certain people have a gene that does in fact make it taste like soap

Oh yeah, the harbour? Looked pretty spooky around the entrance

Just do it. People love authenticity, so never try and be what you think others want you to be, always be yourself. Good luck.

As per Soprtys comment. Get out there & do it. It's your angle that makes the difference. One thing that Ollie dies well is that he bangs it alone surviving, prospering & getting a buzz off his own back. You may have a different angle to hook the punters.

@@sportysbusiness Thanks bro definitely going to go grab a gorpo and start getting out there more.

If you want to start a channel make sure you want to make one for the right reasons. I just made a channel to share my adventures, never thinking it would be this big. As said by others, be yourself, Never try try to be someone who you are not and you will be more successful in all areas of life including a RU-vid channel if you be authentic. Look for your own angle. At end of the day if you want to do it just give it a crack get started and learn as you go, most peoples first videos suck (well mine did) but it is fun and great to have all memories documented not just sitting on a hard drive so it’s a win regardless!

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit Thanks so much Ollie you have inspired me so much to get out more and do more outside on the water. I am definitely going to give it a crack.

Would love to! Want to get down to baha for sure

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit I'm in San Diego and my last video was just the other weekend we went about 35 miles into Mexico. Found some amazing open water Dorado (Mahi) in 70 degree F water. Barely need the wettie. Tuna and Yellowtail everywhere too, just amazing. Love the videos man!

I think Bronzies tend to swarm up in a few places in particular around the East Coast, but closer to the deeper water.

Yep, I was thinking the same, it seems he edit the bronzes so they appear as snapper on the videos Lol

in one of his older videos,he was spearfishing with his friend and Ollie speared a kingy and the bronzies went wild on the kingy and ate it.All that was left was a bent spear.

We mostly have bronze whalers with a few makos out wide in summer months and rare sightings of great whites. The bronzies tend to congregate in certain areas I’ve found. Often actually in places where ‘noobies’ go funnily enough. Hot spots where rod fisherman go seems to be very sharky for both reasons that where there are a lot of fish there’s obviously sharks but also the sharks are learning in some spots how to get a quick free east feed

Nope, won’t give away spot either 👍

Beauty day it was!

Same same, crayfish/lobster etc etc

It’s an arancia ex surf life saving irb. I believe they are all around the world

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit is it a v hull or a catamaran design?

I got a 7mill suite and in winter yeah can still feel the cold 🥶 brr Especially in for 2 hours . Symptoms- fat ju ju lips numb the mask over the wears face leaves a impression almost stings And you shiver for a while. The cold goes deep into your core. the things you do, and alone too. NO SUCH T H I N G as buddy.

Haha not for me the Kings! Just feed them to my snapper friends who I turn into dinner

Missed the brain!
