Spearfishing Auckland's Hauraki Gulf. Snapper Octopus Mussels and more! 

Oh nice mate! You get some Kings?

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit yeah just one, and a bunch of kahawai

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit shot 5 kingis today out there, same area. Most were shot at the sunken rock in between the bouy and where we were cuz

@@mrokesene nice bro good to hear!

Cheers Matthew, Yep we are all the same mate, all have the fishy and not so fishy days!

Yeah man, not always death piles! Cheers mate

Yep it happens to all of us Tim!

Nice! I've been to False Bay, but didn't get to dive there. We went out chasing the Yellowfin Tuna there but were unsuccessful. Love Capetown, one of my favourite Cities

Cheers mate. Hopefully this weather settles so I can get back out there

Cheers!

OOOh nice! haven't had some Kahawai for a while! Good stuff mate

Thanks Connor! appreciate it mate

Fully agree there mate. Enjoying what I can while I can

Thanks Santiago 👍

Yeah mate it’s incredible, never knew until I started diving, whole other world

Awesome! Thank you!

Totally agree mate, looking back at footage I'm often humbled at just how good we have it here. Always a great day out! Appreciate it mate, Cheers

Always special finding octopus, such amazing creatures

Cheers mate, yeah for a feed so all good! Beaut day on the water too

Wow, thank you!

Yeah we all have those tough days. Will get onto them soon mate.

Good to hear mate

Cheers mate, yeah I got too hungry and ate them before I could get the camera out

Cheers Ed! Yep all good eating!!

Cheers guys!

Cheers brothers

Cheers Aiden!

Hmm thanks mate. I've never had too much success regardless with the grunting anyway. Perhaps i'm scaring them off haha

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit obviously depends on the species you're trying to attract but seems to me to only really interest fish if you are completely hidden in the reef and being patient. The longer the bottom time the better, hole up somewhere with a good eye on main approach of fish (deeper water usually), and grunt as soon as you're in position, only 2-5 times. Overdoing it just burns air. What the sound simulates is the sound of tail flukes of fish thumping. Problem is it will take a while for the larger predatory fish to move in to investigate and if they're 50m+ away, they'll only be getting close by the time you're getting back to the surface (at least with me anyhow). It can be a pain. Basically a looooong static is the play if grunting.

Cheers Callum

Appreciate it Rudy!

Cheers! Will do 👍

Thank you very much!

Cheers mate

Cheers mate!

Used them at the first spot where high currents, as the model of carbons i've got are too soft for that. Looking forward to getting a stiffer pair. Good to have options!

Cheers Bro!

Hi there, sometimes making some noise/vibrations can entice a kingfish to come in and investigate they are very curious. Yes octopus are incredible!

Cheers mate. Natural Afro mate

That's a shame! The Green Lipped mussels here in New Zealand are Huge!! not sure what a sea-squirt is??

Oh sweet! How did you get on?

Hey mate, no shories for a while. Will do a few over summer no doubt

I guess that can be interpreted anyway depending on the person

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit Haha of course mate. We caught our largest snapper this weekend off the coast of Raglan. 6 pounds, was super stoaked! Never crossing that bar again, the joggle was rough as.

Hey mate there is no such app as there are so many variables which can effect vis under water. I use windy for wind, SwellMap for the swell, can also use satellite images like nasa etc to get a rough gauge for vis if no clouds about

Cheers bro

Hey Jamie, Keep an eye online eg Trademe etc. They come up from time to time as the clubs replace them every 7 years i believe

Sweet bro cheers 👌🏼

Awesome bro! Big kingies at white this time of year apparently. I’ll be down there once border drops

Hey Geoff, They were a bit tougher as expected but pretty good!

Bugger all bro. I probably used 10-15l max the whole day? Boat just skims across the surface very minimal drag

Piece of piss bro. Legacy only a 2.0L also

Thanks bro!! Cheers for the feedback

Long enough to get a feed! test myself as mostly solo

Fairly descent mate, nothing huge like the shell, bit tougher but still worthy

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit awesome bro ,and yet again another awesome video

Thanks Dominic. Long day alright!

Army bay?

Pm me mate

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit should I txt you on Instagram?

Cheers Reuben, He will be back soon bro

Haha ok I’ll give it a try

Yeah, probably wont do that again haha

One day Peter! no rush here

Cheers brother

Will try do a few shorter ones bro. Some people want shorter and some want longer! Will try find a balance

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit sorry mate, that was an arrogant reply from me. You keep doing you my bro.

Hahaha I’d say I have a better idea of what a weary fish is than a keyboard warrior like you. You’re right, I won’t catch anything in the Med because I have no intentions of going to dive there as you morons have decimated the fish populations, there’s fuck all fish left! What’s mum cooking you for dinner tonight?
