It's Sunday afternoon and I've heard that the west coast has gone flat - A rare occurrence during winter.
I load up the Jeep with the dive gear and my daughter Nano joins me for a drive around the reef to check it out.
We find flat calm conditions and upon entering the water find that the place is alive with lots of delicious seafood.
The catch bag is soon being filled with Paua, Crayfish and Kina...

Good stuff Kerry, not a sight you get to see too often. Great to see good practice around leaving the larger males. Can be hard to resist at times but the smaller generally taste better anyway and the big boys keep the population healthy.

@KerryFlowers 2 года назад

Yep from what I understand its the big males that can fight off the predators and they help to protect the smaller crayfish in the group...Cheers!!!

@Hawaiian80882 2 года назад

I love the fact that you returned the big cray, I'm thinking that your conservation minded in how you harvest from the sea, you harvest what you need, truly a blessing....safe dives & God Bless!

@KerryFlowers 2 года назад

Cheers mate! Yeah we want to be able to go out and harvest a feed for generations to come aye!!!

@Jaymon1231 2 года назад

it's great to see cray in those numbers. Way to throw that buck back to keep the cray population going for the next generation. Wishing you and your whanau the best. Cheers!!🤙

Oh cheers mate! Same to you and your whanau!!!

Your the man bro! I've been teaching my sons out there for there first winter experience! They got to experience there first nest was epic! Teach them the right way take a Kai not the population 😁😁 Love your videos bro FFN 🤙🏾

@KerryFlowers 2 года назад

That's awesome! There is nothing like getting out there with you children, my daughter who is in this video used to come diving with me sometimes and it was great! Cheers!!!

@richardwilliams1334 Год назад

Wow memories. Used to spend my spare time in the water summer or winter any time the water was right to free dive, to explore or kai for someone's tangi. Haven't been diving since moving away from the East Coast. Thanks for sharing, your rocks pretty much looked like where I Leart to dive. late 70' early 90's.

@KerryFlowers Год назад

Yes, from time to time you do see some good sharks, most of the time they are just Bronze Whalers, and they are more interested in the fish that you have than you, we only really have to worry about Great Whites and they are not common at all...Cheers!!!

@chippyjohn1 Год назад

Don't you think about sharks. Would love to do this, but would be paranoid.

@KerryFlowers Год назад

Yes I do but the vast majority of sharks in NZ will only want to eat the fish you have and do not see you as food, the only ones that I worry about are great whites and I have only seen one in all the years I have been diving! Cheers!!!
