    Nice dive for sure! Those yellowtail (as we call them) were a surprise! Never had a muzzle wrap with mono! Had it happen a few times with Dyneema, though!

    • @KerryFlowers
      @KerryFlowers  2 роки тому +1

      Oh thanks for that tip! I am running dyneema, perhaps I should switch up to mono for the double wrap but and then connect to the dyneema once it hits the reel - the muzzle wrap only happens at random but it means that I wont shoot a kingfish (yellow tail) unless I'm connected to a float line because I cannot trust the gun not to wrap!

    Great vid kerry those looked like some very solid kings! do you think its time for a rahui or some other measures to give the crays and paua a chance to build up in numbers in the north before things start to look like they are in the hauraki gulf? interested to hear your opinion on this, Cheers

    • @KerryFlowers
      @KerryFlowers  2 роки тому

      There is a Rahui in place for some of the area around the reef, this was a spot I had never dived before and the crayfish do move around a bit so they might have been elsewhere on the reef...generally the crayfish population on the west coast is in excellent shape. Cheers!!!

    Hey bro, just interested, what do you mean open? Beach is queens chain right, not owned by the locals and has unrestricted access regardless? Just curious on the rules that's all.

    • @KerryFlowers
      @KerryFlowers  2 роки тому +1

      Not quite, the "Queens chain" laws don't exist any more - as far as I understand they were replaced by the foreshore and seabed act that grants access for all areas below the mean high water mark so technically where we are driving is in that area however to get down into Te Kohanga (Shipwreck bay) you have to cross Te Rarawa land and they have the right to close that off and do at times when there are people disrespecting the whenua (lands) around there, hope that explains things a little better....Cheers!!!

    • @Fluid36
