7 Days Boat Camping | SPEARFISHING | Great Barrier Island New Zealand
We set off on a 7 day adventure, camping on the boat over at Great Barrier Island, NZ.
Spearfishing Snapper, Kingfish, Boarfish, Blue Moki & more!
This was such an EPIC trip - my favourite so far. It was an amazing experience with such beautiful landscape, amazing water viz & so much fish life!
Enjoy :)

Spearfishing from a few different trips off the coast of Taranaki. Conditions here on the West Coast this summer were the best they have been for a few years, which has made for some awesome diving! Heaps of fish around - which made for lots of epic diving! Music credits go to: Tubebackr Sway links.fanlink.to/tubebackr

Solo hunting Taranaki Public Land. The mission was to get some fitness in the hills with the roar coming up and also try find a mature Fallow Buck on public land - I stumbled across an old boy and was lucky enough to get the opportunity for a shot. I got plenty of fitness training in after pulling the trigger!

A short clip from a couple dips over 2 days in the Coromandel. We weren't presented with any big Kingis, but the viz was pretty epic and we managed a few table fish.

    It's sad to see such a magnificent forest like Pureora being trashed by deer. We really need to get proper 1080 deer control there so the forest doesn't go the same way as so many other forests. There's a whole suite of ferns and broad leafed shrubs that are absent in this footage that should be there. Coprosmas, Aspleniums etc. Alseouosmia are chomped to heck, heading for extinction. So many other forests are just crown fern and horopito deserts after years of deer damage. Deer hunting is great fun. Good to see fellows out there doing it. So many shooters, not so many real hunters who actually stalk deer.

    Awesome! I planning to go there next year. Caught few big ones in Baja, Mexico, no finesse fishing here. We catch them yo-yo-ing lures, on Surface Irons, and on big live baits. One of, if not the toughest PFP fish. I haven't caught a big GT yet.
