      Water has often been dirty when up those ways. I’ll give it one day when nice and clean, and with a buddy. Also could you please maybe edit that name of wreck out of there so don’t give away the area (respect the locals) obviously people who have been there will recognise the spots but want to try keep it to that. Cheers for the comment!

    Outstanding Ollie!! Quality production considering you film it yourself with a stick cam. Love the conservative attitude also - limit the catch, not catch the limit. Great stuff!! If everyone adopted that fishing philosophy, there'd be no shortage of fish for anyone. Love ya work fella! Here's to more good vis and vibes💯🤙

    Right, that's inspired me to get back in the water. Have been sticking to the hunting but it's time to add a bit of fish & other adventures to the diat. Moved to Dunedin a few years back & have only had one dive... Came across around 300 paua on one rock all of size without even taking a measure... That was a bucket list thing I had always wanted to see.

    We call that raw fish salad 'kokoda' which basically means eating 'fish' raw. Instead of fish it can also be clams, sea urchins etc.. I love your adventures out at sea, I'd say rather daring on your solo trips, otherwise fun catching fish and lobsters.

Secondly I've gotta thank you for your part in inspiring me to put on a mask again after about 20 years, having fun getting the fitness back and relearning it all, eventually ill get a gun in there aswell. Thirdly if it was you I spotted driving north on friday arvo, somewhere between welsford and puhoi, can't remember exactly where it was, I hope you had a good one and got us some more wicked content. Cheers from the north.

      mainly just look for days when there hasn't been swell or wind pumping in recently, spring is normally the cleanest water as far as I've experienced but honestly just try moving spots can be like soup in one spot and clear as 500m down the coast

    • @chrisstapleton1297

      Recent big downpours can also result in silt in the harbours which reduces visibility. So always give it a while after big rainstorms.

    • @olliecraig-primalpursuit
      @olliecraig-primalpursuit  Рік тому +4

      Anywhere close to Auckland central is dirty water from all the runoff, silt from construction, etc etc and harbours/type of geology in the area. Really you need to travel up towards Leigh coast to start getting some cleaner water. After heavy rain and swell is usually a no go for a few days close in. Check cawthron eye satellite images and have a play around you will see the water colouration. Leering your local areas help. Head north or coro, more fish too

      We mostly have bronze whalers with a few makos out wide in summer months and rare sightings of great whites. The bronzies tend to congregate in certain areas I’ve found. Often actually in places where ‘noobies’ go funnily enough. Hot spots where rod fisherman go seems to be very sharky for both reasons that where there are a lot of fish there’s obviously sharks but also the sharks are learning in some spots how to get a quick free east feed

As said by others, be yourself, Never try try to be someone who you are not and you will be more successful in all areas of life including a UA-cam channel if you be authentic. Look for your own angle. At end of the day if you want to do it just give it a crack get started and learn as you go, most peoples first videos suck (well mine did) but it is fun and great to have all memories documented not just sitting on a hard drive so it’s a win regardless!
