Can’t get enough of your videos mate! Absolutely love what you're doing and so Inspirational, I’ve just started my own Spearfishing/fishing channel based on The Great Barrier Reef.
Love your vids bro
Im stuck in Hotel Quarantine and just rinsed through your channel, good shit mate! Cheers for keeping me sane haha
Thanks bro! Glad to help out in that situation! I'd be going mental
Great video mate, showing off more of this great country.
Looking forward to the next one.
Cheers.
Thanks mate
Another great video mate. Thanks for sharing
Easy mate. Not a big haul but always a great day out!
Sick videos bro, love the commentary and the footage, been really enjoying watching as I get back into the sport myself
Awesome to hear mate, cheers for the feedback 🤙
Another great video. Love the drone footage at the close.
Cheers Keith, wish I had some while out on the boat, but had some technical issues!
Octopus in Coconut cream and spring onions,slow cooked,so good.
Sounds great will have to try that!
Fantastic video and nice visibility thank you
Thank you :)
Another nice video Ollie, nice places to visit as well. Our wetsuits arrived and lockdowns are over for us so my son and I will give the spearfishing a go. We have nice crayfish here is Southwest Victoria so we’ll attempt to get one. Thanks for spurring us on!!
Awesome Timothy! Good luck out there!
very beautiful and wonderful
Thank you
Always pumped to see another of your vids man. I’m out at the barrier for a couple of weeks soon, so perfect hype timing 😆
Thanks bro. Good luck out there!
Awesome stuff bro, keep up the good work and thanks for the hook up with the spearfishing package/upgrades... stay safe my bro...
No worries bro. Good luck out there!
Love it Ollie... always look forward to your vids... the commentary and learning from you. If you're ever in the Cook Islands 🇨🇰 particularly Rarotonga and Aitutaki, hit me up and we can show you some of the spots brother...
Hey bro cheers for the feedback! Will do mate! I was planning to come over to the Cook Islands this summer but obviously that's not gonna happen. My brother in law is from Mauke, was there about 6 years ago when I wasn't into spearing, itching to get back there with a speargun!
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit shot brother, will show you around when the borders open up if you want... we use a lot of the same gear so will save you on bringing gear down...
@@aporokirikava1583 awesome!
Love the vids mate 🤙
Thanks Steve for the feedback
Great stuff.... don't talk about it ae... be about it yeeeewwww....
Cheers!
Очень красиво!!! Необычный подводный ландшафт!!! 👍👍👍!
goodjob
Cheers!
The man👏
Thanks 😊
Thanks Ollie, loved it.
Thanks Deb!
Epic kai. Your editing is pretty sharp too bro. Keep up the good mahi.
Thnaks bro will do
Nice Bro! Can you show us that cray noose with the shark clips, looks better than a net bag!
Cray noose! Find them at Ocean Hunter bro. Or fairly easy to make yourself
Great video. I think you need to come south for the monster butter fish. Cheers
For sure mate. Will try get down south next year for some dives looks awesome.
Hey Lawrence, have you put the tanks away these days? It took me 2 hours in the weekend to get one butterfish up here compared to 2 butterfish in 10min back in Welly. Cam
@@craybro Hey Cam, Yes I have decided to get fit enough to spearfish again. Got my fins at work to hit the pool at lunchtime today. Watching Ollie (while sitting on my couch) is good to get the motivation going. Hope all good with you Cam
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit If you get to Wellington hit me up for a boat dive. Got a 40 foot excommercial Australian cray boat, set up for diving and fishing. Cheers
@@Lchop shit yeah will remember that! Sounds awesome bro
Absolutely wicked. What gloves do you use? They look like great finger protection for catching crays.
Thanks mate. I use all sorts of gloves. But main go to glove is a leather amara glove. Still got enough feeling but strong protection. No gloves keep you safe from the crays though!
It's always with great pleasure watching your vids mate , great stuff Olle
Cheers Greg!
Bro haul them Kina in as well 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I eat a few here and there.. Its a work in progress, slowly getting a taste for them!
Thx Ollie
Was a bit shocked really as I used to visit the barrier in the 70s and while it’s still looks clean and green it’s starting to look sparse and empty same as the med
Yeah perhaps that's just the case of the inside as very easy to access on trailer boats from Auckland on a day trip now.. Back side might still Be similar to back then? I'm sure nowhere in the country is the same as it used to be unless at the Cape up north 3 Kings etc..
For sure I think I was just lucky and grew up in Auckland when we rowed out from Stanley bay and filled the dinghy with snapper or collected our scallops from Cheltenham beach after a blow and couldn’t find enough containers for all the Whitebait we caught off Devonport wharf .
We were blessed 😋
another great video were did u launch boat from
Launched from Omaha!
Awesome video bro mean dive still got a feed of crays and exploring new grounds cheers
Yeah man can't complain!
Hey mate live your channel. Just wondering why your mate is using a cray loop??
It's a cray hook. Helped to get crays out of deep cracks or in caves where its impossible to get arms in otherwise.
Nice footage as always man but ya definitely hit the wrong spots. Good video to deter people from coming here nonetheless haha. The inside has been emptied, if ya have the lung capacity, try hit the needles.
Yeah man my first time there. Had no idea where to go. Def need to get to needles or Ocean side one day!
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit oceanside is where it's at man 😉🤫
nice bro~ top notch on the cray grabbing!~
Thanks bro!
sick bro! great day out!
Cheers bro! Yep always is!
Mean vid! How long is the boat ride
Thanks bro. 1- 1 1/2 hours?
Brah, you need to”Sneppa” shirt
ist the butterfish the one, you get when ordering butterfish sushi? or just same names?
Actually not sure! I'm always order salmon sushi.. 🤔
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit Thanks for the answer. I just looked it up and it looks like its a different species. Lepidocybium flavobrunneum Anyway thanks for taking us with you for this great dive. greetings from austria(no kangaroos)
That roller gun didn't kick at all.
What kind is it?
Rob Allen allloy with Widow Maker Roller head!
