@RichardJackRobertson they're just a typical average tasting white fleshed salt water fish. I personally think they actually taste slightly better than blue cod. Fairly similar to terakihi . But Not as good as butterfish or trevally. So yeah just another average tasting fish. Ppl don't eat them because they're annoying to fillet with all the chubky scales.

@@KiwiKaimoana Thanks Jamie. The scales are like chain mail

@southern.adventures thanks for having a look... I've been watching your recent bluff diving videos too.

@@cheekypukeko yeah it's an awesome boat... I love that Scrunga too

round Christchurch there isn't much kina. It's hard to find. Not like in the north island where it's more abundant. We would take more kina if it was here, but round banks peninsula... you might see a few on the north of the peninsula but they are tiny and have no roe. South side of the peninsula, there's not many of them. Dives are weather dependent and this summer has been terrible, the worst in years. This summer it's non stop southerly wind, or rain, both of which make the ocean water undiveable. The problem is mostly deforestation of the canterbury plains... allowing dirty water to enter the rivers when it rains, which muddies up the ocean water round the peninsula (rain), and if a strong wind comes in, it stirrs up the water and the silt on the seabeds from the last 100 years of silt settling on the seabeds (wind). Chch is one of the the worst locations in the country to go diving and you get about 4 months of it in (summertime) if you're lucky. This summer we are unlucky with this bad weather and it's gonna be way less than 4 months. My advice, join the South Island Spearfishing & Freediving Club (you can google it). There is a facebook group and a website. It's the best way to meet local divers and start networking. Diving here is also pretty much boat only. There is no decent shore diving. Not like you would expect to see in Bluff or Wellington for example. Most of the coastline of banks peninsula is eroded cliff faces and it's not accessible by road. Local divers buy a boat, and launch from Wainui boat ramp in Akaroa harbour.... then commute the boat down to the southern bays of the peninsula. The Primal Dive instinct guy has a few videos shore diving at Taylor's mistake which is a local beach. But the diving is aweful there. Small fish (and not many fish), small kinas, small crays (often it's no crays), small pauas (you're lucky to find a legal one). The only species that does well at Taylors is blackshell mussels. There is another channel called "Time with Tangaroa" which is a local guy Brian who does shore dives there.... watch some of his vids, you'll see how bad the diving there is. The whole north side of the peninsula suffers the same issues, species grow small and often don't get to legal size, and filthy water 365 days a year. You can end up putting a lot of effort and time and petrol into going somewhere and ending up with empty hands. Ie- diving lyttelton or driving all the way to port levy, pigeon bay, okains bay, little Akaloa. If you do go and dive Taylors Mistake (shore dive), for the sake of safety... dive the south side(near Harris bay), the north side has a strong rip current which can pull you out quick. Be prepared to swim about 500m along the rocks and back again. Or try hiking over the hill to harris bay. But I caution you Harris bay isn't gonna be any better than Taylors Mistake. The whole cost there is much the same. And yeah if you want to do more research on that beach... watch some Time with Tangaroa videos.

@KiwiKaimoana hey Jamie thanks for your knowledge and tips of the area very much appreciated, yeah its not good going somewhere put alot of effort in and come up empty handed again much appreciated Jamie love your content bro

Yeah that salmon farm is generally plan C. Goes like this... Plan A: Get out of the harbour into the clearer water, go spearfishing. If that doesn't work... Plan B: Stay in the harbour in the dirty water and dive for pauas, and if still too dirty or too rough... Plan C: Go to salmon farm and fish for Kahawai. When you see a video like this... you're not seeing plan A. It's plan C.

Well I assume you're joking about all that. If you look at the other comments from ppl that have replied, it's positive feedback from ppl who identify as boat owners.

The moray "super stretch" belt seems to have been discontinued by ocean hunter. Dunno why. Shame coz it's one of the better weight belts.

Thanks. Chris and I had a trip out last year just like this video... we got 6 kahawai... it was called "we break our record on fish" something like that. If you want to see a vid similar to this...go back and check out that one.

@@KiwiKaimoana Yeah thanks for your information <3

Yeah only downside is I caught a cold sleeping in the tent at the campground in Blenheim. Was a great experience though.

@RichardJackRobertson yeah my wife is pretty awesome at helping with fish prep when I get home. She knows fishing is an all day comittment

@tumon1000 yeah I reckon it was just a case on that day of waiting for the fish to get hungry. The kahawai are often swimming past the salmon farm at various intervals

Thanks for watching

yeah Adreno spearfishinbg did a similar video called boating etiquette. But I thought it missed a few things so I made this one. I hope it gets used as a training tool where boat owners will get new divers to watch this video and learn a few things.

It means 2 dives on one day. In w different locations. The club doesn't do this event anymore. Diving too unproductive in the first location... Lyttelton.

@TaneHarrison If you're talking about paua... none exist. If you mean crayfish... you'll probably not find any crayfish shorediving Akaroa. They tend to live out near the heads...not in the inner Harbour. If you want to shoredive in Akaroa... take mussels... and focus on finding fish to shoot... wrasse and butterfish.

@sambob6428 yeah Adreno have done a vid similar to this one on their channel. I've asked my dive buddies in the past to watch their video. Thanks for checking out mine... I hope it was good enough and I covered enough relevant issues.

@montyspearo yeah I heard about that trick. I actually now have can electric start kit fitted. Makes life a lot easier starting that mercury.

@montyspearo yeah ppl Don't realize how it's just disrespecting your time. Glad to know I'm not the only one with these difficulties. Thanks for checking out my videos.

Few bad ones over the years lol. Two bad ones to share: One message me the night before he will be two hours late cause his wife doesn’t have a car so instead of coming at 7am his coming at 9. Another we were planning to go at 6am, he messaged me at 4:30am he accepted a job/ day tour guide or something, bailed out on us, luckily I had another buddy coming too. That was the end of those two buddies, I don’t normally give second chances, even with our long time buddies who shows up late we make sure to make fun of them for this trip and many trips after that, now everyone tries not be the last one to show up otherwise they know they will be the joker of the trip hahaha

@cheekypukeko hey thanks for watching. Yeah I know you've experienced some of these difficulties too. I'm lucky that my dive buddies are mostly punctual... but there is one who I've had some other issues with. Issues mentioned in this vid. I'm heading up to blenheim Xmas so hopefully doing a collab fish or dive with Alfies Outdoors... check out his channel. Hoping to shoot some butters over Xmas.

You are professional, well said!

Thanks for taking the time to watch the video. Your critisism seems a bit harsh though. By the end of your comment it makes me wonder... are you someone that actually would prefer nobody make fishing or diving videos at all?, on the basis of "protecting the spot". If so, while I can understand the concept... it's also not the world we live in. We live in digital times where ppl take photos and videos of things they like and share them online. These are the times we live in.

@@KiwiKaimoana Read my comment again slowly brah everthing i mentioned is true.So you want to carry on doing the same thing in another district without the permission of the locals, my advice to you is watch your back.

@KotahitangaAotearoa well it's a good thing then that during the paua season... permission of the locals is not required to take the daily limit of 3x pauas. Mpi are the authority and I've been inspected by them several times. Permission of the locals is also not required to operate cameras in public places. So not to worry. Everything is all nice and legal.

It sure is. I didn't even know about that salmon farm till recently too

@cococharliematenga4829 thanks for checking it out. Hoping to go diving and fishing on the boat tomorrow. First dive of the summer. The weather has finally settled.

@vlog3885 I'd love to say yes. But if I did I would likely be just breaking a promise to you. As you know here in Canterbury we get so few good diving days due to the terrible marine weather we get. We get wind or rain... even in summer. And it ruins the water on the peninsula all the time. The number of days I go diving in summer is only 5 to 10 days since summer is short. I have an existing group of dive buddies I try to work with because these ppl have been there for me in the past in some way shape or form. Chris, Ying, Tasman and Wayne. And there are more that at some point I planned to dive with but it never happened... either I broke the promise to them, or they broke the promise to me. I've come to learn there are practical reasons that divers stick with the same buddies and don't often let in new ppl. With so few available dive days in summer here... the scariest resource is the days themselves. The next scarcest resource is physical space on a small boat. Mine can take 2, 3 is not fun... there's really not enough space for 3 and 3 ppls gear. And if you have an existing small group of ppl that supported you in the past... you're not going to sacrifice their spot on the boat to give it to a new person. So the answer I give to ppl who want to go diving with me is now is... sure, you can come with me, meet me at the boat ramp with your own boat and your own dive buddies and both our boats can head out to the same spot. It's harsh but also it's reality. The available dive days and available space on the boat are very limited.

@vlog3885 look me up on Facebook. Kiwi Kaimoana has a Facebook page. Send me a DM. I might be able to take you this weekend if you're interested. All my dive buddies are unavailable. Weather should be good. So if you're available Saturday. Message me.

@MadeChurMaori-UFC I didn't "wine". Not really wining and dining. I had some beer, but I'm not a wine person. So to answer your question no...I didn't "wine". You should have a look at my other videos and check some of them out. Perhaps you can leave more feedback on them too.

I actually uploaded 8 animated short films. But most of them are unlisted. You can find them by going to the Playlist called... classics; all animations. Basically this UA-cam channel changed several times. It was animation...then paintball...then wrestling videos... now fishing and diving. But some of the early videos...the 3x godzilla videos... they still get views all these years later, which is why I don't delete them.

Oh man. Wrapping is hard. A few tips... wrap won't stick to welds unless there's tension on it. The wrap going down centre of boat between blue and white lines over the weld... it's already pulled away and looks a bit ugly. Don't wrap over welds unless the finish ed wrap has tension. Use a heat gun but not too much heat to help smooth out wrap. Use dry application for smaller pieces of wrap... but a soapy water wet application for bigger pieces.

Also when you do wrap over welds... a heatgun will melt the wrap slightly so it conforms to the shape of the welds. And I got all my blue and white wrap offTemu. Cheap... but not the highest quality stuff.

@AustinThornton-l7n unfortunately those crocs were not found at cow stream or Hanmer.
