Ciao from Italy ! First of all I want thank you for all yours videos. they are amazing and let us dream about fishing holidays in your country. Looks like paradise....wilderness and no one around you ...only fishes !!!! Only one think about the recepit with this fantastic scorpion fish......PLEASE don't use this "maccheroni cheese pasta" sinthetyc🤭😃 Use real spaghetti or linguine !! seasoning for the pasta : olive oil (not butter), scorpion fish, chilli pepper , parsley, salt and let it fade with half a glass of white wine. Enjoy your dinner in front of a sunset with a cold white wine .....Buon appetito !! 😎🤙
maybe it's just me, but i'm under the impression the overall quality of the videos, editing etc has improved a lot. I love the drone shots, would like to go on a boat trip there one day...
I'd say if you fried the onion and scorpion fish in a bit of butter before adding it to the mac n cheese, you'd be on to a winner. Maybe some bacon cubes too! Yum!
“That lemon juice really bought it together” 😂😂😂 I was thinking it looked like a stoner meal just before you said it!! That’s one of the best catch and cooks I have seen, you applying for MasterChef 🤙🤙🤙
Not always about getting big fish, it’s more about the environment, the solitude and exploring an alien world. Anyone that has never dived will never understand this. Thank you Ollie, nice being on your journey. ❤️
I really enjoy your videos also bc they are a pretty long format! Makes it really immersive. I can put my feet up, relax and enjoy your adventure. Thank you!
I'd agree with that, ten times better than the crap on TV that's for sure. Been blowing its arse off in Pukekohe for what seems like 6 months. Hard to get out for a mish so these videos definately help pass the days between.
I went to Scots College in Wellington 37 years ago and now I live in Virginia USA. NZ is an outdoor paradise, I had some great fun night fishing Eels then smoking them.
With no dairy or bakery around in the middle of nowhere, and for you to come up with a dish like the macaroni and cheese with fresh scorpion fish on the water is MEAN AZ! bro. I enjoy your journey’s around Aotearoa, I can’t do it at the moment but I’m glad you give us this chance to see what is out there.🤙🏽
Mate, get yourself a cover for that sounder.. Think they're called rusler, custom made canvas cover, made in NZ. Saves green death in your cables later in life. Another hot tip, wipe some electrical grease over the rubber where the map card goes. Always top viewing mate 🤘
The steep drop offs are perfect for snapper, access to deeper water. Try ghosting down one and sitting against the wall. You'll be surprised. The sunny section of coast opposite where you dived might have been a better spot to find snapper sunning themselves. We used to get a lot of snapper at first light, then we got them later in the day. The reason, we were far more relaxed and diving later in the day! They are where they are. That being said, early morning, last light and the further north you travel, the better. Good to see you had access to warm food and drinks. Those winter dive days are tough, much shorter duration dives the better. By day 3 you'll be chilling down much quicker!
Crushed cornflaked into crumbs coat fish shallow fry is my personal favourite , or yes totally agree just pan fry salt pepper to taste the fish for what it is . oven baked whole snapper the cheeks oh yer
I sun dried a big scorpion cod head and than clear coated it and it kept its red colour.. awesome trophy in the cabinet with all the jaws and other heads….. I reckon you could catch and jaw a bronzy in one of your vids. depending on NZ laws … or send a salmon back down to those kingies I wanna see how you handle one on a rod hahah
Come to Nashville. Visit Jack Daniel’s distillery only 70 miles away. Being from Kentucky, more bourbon than whiskey, but all good! Welcome to our home
Good stuff thanks for sharing , did you notice the Kingy cruising past boat @30.31 on drone shot . Cheeky hoodlums often used to catch me unawares in my seakayak they even rub themselves on the hull .
Awesome video, Ollie. A good keen man out for 3 days of hunting. Love the longer format too. Not sure if it is the editing, but are you surprised by the lack of larger snapper? That looks like amazing snapper habitat with heaps of kina, decent kelp cover and deep gutters, etc.
A lot of coast around there. I only scraped the surface, and I didn’t set any big Kina or ground burleys so they were probably there somewhere. Fishing has its days too moon phases etc but I’ve actually heard of a few guys not doing overly well on that area of coast for snapper
Great episode Ollie, thoroughly enjoyed it. Fantastic way to finish the trip with two snappers. I don't understand how your channel doesn't have a million plus subscribers. Wish you all the best 👍🏼
Another awesome video buddy!! Keep 'em coming! this time of year are you using your 7mm suit yet, or still sportin' the 5mm? What kind of depths are you usually dropping to...on average?
Hey bro I reckon you could do with a swag aye make sleeping alot more easier less gear etc. I've got a single swag here in Oz I bearly use I'm coming over nz march next year do you want it?
Thanks for the offer I’ve got access to a swag, it’s just nice to have everything covered so no dew on gear in the morning etc and if light drizzle but for the right mission swag would be ideal
Nice video , when you sleep in your. Boat how do you deal with the water slap issue at night ? We use earplugs but the slap is a pain in the arse to sleep through sometimes even with plugs
Doesn’t seem to be too bad on my boat perhaps hill shape, having said that I always anchor in very calm spots and I’m at home on the ocean bro I’m used to all those sounds worked on boats for a few years so puts me to sleep
Epic video Ollie :) as always..... and loving you are a pretty much a Franklin boy!! Totally cant understand how you are only at 47k subs... can i recommend a few more co-labs with creators with more subs for more exposure, so people joint sub? That suggestion is from a place where i want you to keep doing this and do well from it buddy
It’s got two self draining scullers at the rear ( drain when underway) I put the bungs in them at night for camping. Nice when get a lot of water over in rough conditions for safety etc
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit Yeah , I got a similar Stabi Explorer and the scuppers down can back siphon at anchor in sloppy conditions , bit of a trap for the uninitiated , can build enough to cause free surface stability issues even with the pontoons ., Pays to have them plugged or up like you say . Great content and inspiration , keep up the awesome content .

Best 43 minutes 13 seconds of my week
What about the minute of ads
👌😎💯

The best way to protect marine life is to stop spearfishing altogether. Why is this still being promoted
Inspired to get me some beginner spearfishing gear and give it a go.

Well said!
It’s magic
That is exactly what I need, 3 days dive camping. Thanks Ollie!
Hello Craig we are blessed to watch your Videos keep us busy with your entertainment.
You should seriously be funded by the NZ government for the service you are providing them.
If NZ government had its way they would make fishing illegal
Haha very true. I don’t want any funding or help by the Nz government. They can keep their distance from me
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit😂
Before Ollie's videos I had no idea that New Zealand was so beautiful..
That is so true
Bro 😅… love how you didn’t edit out the epic trip when you almost landed on your backside ……. 😝🤣🤣
Haha yeah clumsy bugger 😂
I really enjoy your videos also bc they are a pretty long format! Makes it really immersive. I can put my feet up, relax and enjoy your adventure. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!

Agreed
Straight tv series content. Big brands need to get behind your content. Mean mahi!!🔥
Appreciate that mate
I went to Scots College in Wellington 37 years ago and now I live in Virginia USA. NZ is an outdoor paradise, I had some great fun night fishing Eels then smoking them.
Smoked eel is awesome!
The amount of work you put into these videos for us is insane bro!
- 22:49 You should've fried the skin like Lays chips. Yummm.
Maybe next time!
Epic vid bro! You are inspiring me to get my gun out this winter 😊
Beautiful video as always, no matter the size of the fish you catch, it is always a pleasure to watch a good quality video like that.
That group of kingfish was gangster , appeared out of nowhere ready to rip some bait fish up! 🤙🏼
Hello Phil keep the diving going the deepest you go there are a lot of crabs under the rocks 👍
Learnt so much from you bro thank you for your knowledge
Once again, quality entertainment!
Cant wait to see what the future has planned for ollie craig. Just imagine.
Thanks!
funny how am smashed thinking ad like to eat ya mac n cheese n your cooking it thinking its what ya eat when ya smashed🤣🤣
Haha 😂

Man those 2 snapper were a nice end to the trip. That really capped it off well.
Got em finally!

Cool I’ll keep at the walls, just never had much luck myself but probably just unlucky/not stealth enough
Well done Ollie, made me hungry -YUM, agree don't over power the fish flavor. Catch me a fish please.. 😅
Loving the vids as always
dude those venison saucies look amazing... drooling right now

Thank you for a beautiful wonderful world you have take me too
Top man ollie.always got the good vids
Far out, we dive there but never see it from a drone, some seriously barron spots. Love the filming 🩵🌊
Crushed cornflaked into crumbs coat fish shallow fry is my personal favourite , or yes totally agree just pan fry salt pepper to taste the fish for what it is . oven baked whole snapper the cheeks oh yer
Great vid as always Ollie, thanks for taking us along mate.
No problem 👍

That weird looking thing is a species of sea cucumber, if I'm not mistaken
Hey Ollie love your videos! Have you got any tips on snatching crays?
Thanks mate just grab hard and fast, aim further back. Few videos on UA-cam for this
Definitely a stoner feed up haha!! That's low level for you mate haha!!! Great video as always
Haha mate it was actually very tasty 😂
Would you do a review on how you set up your bivy tarp
Nothing special just tie it around the bow rails then use a pole to hold up back but I’ll show in more detail next boat camp
Great episode Ollie, thoroughly enjoyed it. Fantastic way to finish the trip with two snappers. I don't understand how your channel doesn't have a million plus subscribers.
Wish you all the best 👍🏼
Appreciate it mate! Thanks!
Is that the anchor that you salvaged on trip on the rubber duck
Nope, still got that on the Irb
In Aus we call them Mermaid Lures
2.35 how was your trip? :)
Scorpion Mac!!! Tuning in from Big Island Hawaii. Siiiiick video Brah
Thanks bro!
Another awesome video buddy!! Keep 'em coming! this time of year are you using your 7mm suit yet, or still sportin' the 5mm? What kind of depths are you usually dropping to...on average?
I’m good with a 5mm bro. Not deep prob 10-12 max in winter all the diving in shallow this time of year generally
Average prob 8m

Nice videos mate! Just one question, I noticed you're using a lot of Bushbuck gear; are you sponsored by them?
u made an outdoor stoner feed or prison slop 😂 with that gross glugy pasta, fresh fish tho mmmmm mean as ollie!
Take jigging pole and small jethead to troop and a pipe jig they work!
Send me chat for the pipe jig, like I used in Maui ÷.
Great video what kind of boat is it?
It's a Senator Boats IS400 Spearfisher
Epic video Ollie :) as always..... and loving you are a pretty much a Franklin boy!!

Thanks mate yeah I’ll work on a bit of that!
Probably mostly because I don’t have a girl in a g string on the thumbnail..
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit keep the ethic's solid bud!!
Hey bro when you realised your tech didn't work on the boat, what was the app you used on your phone? I feel like I need to know this!
Just classic Navionics bro. it's great
A good way to ruin beautiful fish with crappie pasta 😂
Why are you not diving those caves?!
Generally empty
Ollie... Where is that water coming from that we see in yout boat every vid ???
It’s got two self draining scullers at the rear ( drain when underway) I put the bungs in them at night for camping. Nice when get a lot of water over in rough conditions for safety etc
