WATCH IN HD! Catch and Cook primitive Kiwi style. In this video I go exploring some remote coastline in New Zealand Freediving and spearfishing off my Kayak searching for food. I spear Snapper, Butterfish, and Blue Mao Mao and cook the Snapper up on the
beach on an open fire! Living from the Ocean and cooking primitive style!
I also search for Yellowtail Kingfish and Crayfish, but the weather turns nasty and I need to head back to shore.

The catch and cook ones are my fav.
Will try to do some more!
Awesome channel @olliecraig! Literally frothing over the fish you get to shoot and the views you get to experience. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers mate! Yep, pretty lucky here in New Zealand!
@@olliecraig-primalpursuitI'm a Cape Tonian and I spearfish myself but over here, we have so many protected waters along our coast... Any advice on how you choose your spots?
@@MF-np8yd I do a lot of reading online in old forums etc, search Google maps etc. Basically any headland/point here in nz that gets good current etc holds fish! And just get as far away from the big cities as possible!
As fish tend to tear apart, I like to cook it on a rock partially on the fire, some people put some oil on the stone first, but you don't need it, I may lose the skin facing the rock, but that's ok. Awesome videos, as I like kayaking and a campfire, this is my favorite. Thanks brother.
Thanks for the tips! Glad you enjoyed it
I have been loving the content. I watch it with my kids and we are planning our own missions now.
Awesome Rueben! Glad you're enjoying it, get stuck in!
Another great video! loving these catch and cooks. Keep it up brother!
Thanks for the feedback Blaine! Will keep experimenting!
Mean vid bro, your starting to get pretty slick with the editing and content, awesome work, looking forward to the next mission.
Thanks for the feedback mate.
Hi Ollie, thanks for putting so much effort into your video. I see the general appreciation from the majority of your followers....we all learn and share something. Love the positive responses. Keep them coming. Trev 😱 🌞🙏🙏🛶🐠
Thanks Trevor! Easy when you love what you do! And loving the positive feedback. Cheers mate
lucky to have found it! I lost my paddle out on a remote beach in northern Mozambique and spent 4 hours swimming my kayak and gear back to shore. You have some great content definitely hitting the sub button!s
Wow mate sounds like an intense mission! Mine could have been similar! Got lucky I guess! All set up with a leash etc now though! Thnaks mate, plenty more content to come!
Koolio binge watching
Enjoy mate
Those kelp forest look amazing to dive in! Keep enjoying the water, one day hoping to head over there to spearfish
I love th ekelp forests so relaxing to dive through! Definitely do it!
Churr Ollie, another great vlog. The paddle leash is the way to go. Take care bro the dream is real 🤟🏽
Thanks bro! Got my leash sorted for the next mission 👌
leash every think or lose it mate thats what I was told when I started kayaking last year an sure enough the only thing I've lost is a fish measurer that wasn't leashed . great vids keep em coming . wish we had a few of those big snaps down South !
Yep, I was also told that but don't take it seriously enough! I think I've finally learnt my lesson though. Have already whipped up a few bungees ready for the next mission!
Loving all these vids mate!
Thanks man! Stoked you are enjoying them
You should do more Catch and cook!!!Another Good Video!!!
Will do! Thanks for the feedback 👍
Feel like you worked hard for
This episode thanks bro
Haha definitely... Cheers mate
Great content my bro from a kiwi living up on the Gold Coast!
Thanks josh! Cheers for the comment bro
Awesome video bro! Really enjoying the content! Wish I had more time to get out for missions that 🤙🏽
Thanks bro! Yeah it's hard getting the time, especially to coincide with some good weather also!
Cool content Ollie
Awesome videos as always mate, bit of bad luck there on the water but you lived to tell the story Ollie , looking forward to your next video already , cheers. 👍
Thanks mate, yeah not always the perfect dive! Will be out again this week making the next vid 🤙
Ollie Craig - Reef Hunter ...awesome mate , hope all goes well on your next dive and conditions are great, looking forward to your next video 👍 take care out there on the water it must be getting a lot cooler by now. 🌨
Good stuff Ollie... love the videos mate
Cheers Wayne!
Another cool vid Ollie. An idea for another catch and cook - scale the fish, then wrap it in 6 layers of wet newspaper. Chuck it right into the red hot coals (put some on top of it too). Give it about 10mins and you'll have a really nice moist cooked fish. Only the outer couple of layers of paper actually burns away.
Oh cool! Will keep that in mind sounds good! Not worried about all the ink on the paper?
Nah. The ink doesn’t come off . An unopened newspaper is basically sterile too
Great video!
Most of the videos on TH-cam is about smooth trips and successful hunts, it's nice to see some fails for a change =D
Haha thanks mate I agree!
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit ive just joined watching your amazing stories. Just wondering do you by chance carry an epirb or anything on your kayak, float etc?? Im a newbie.
@@craigmills7280 Hi Craig! I'm in the process of getting an epirb, especially for some of the big missions I have planned for this year. I don't carry a float, my kayak is my float! I'm usually fairly close to land so my phone is fine for most situations.
great vlog .Awesome mate ..!!
Thanks Raphael!
Nice bro - not easy diving from a kayak. They can be useful as a tow along in the calmer water but yeah when it gets bouncy near rocks they can pushed around pretty easy. I’ve had a few moments when the gear is sliding off the yak bro so you’re not alone there. It is also much more taxing than a normal boat based dive so energy is lost so much faster. It is hard work man so rewarding when it comes together but yeah very challenging especially when the wind and current start pumping 😅
Yeah man fully agree. Was quite na adventure! Pretty sure I've got it locked in for my next dive though! Sometimes need situations like these to learn and change the techniques /setup! Love the kayak though for a diving platform!
Awesome work mate! Sucks to lose the fish and some gear but good to come home in one piece
100 percent mate
Couldn't help but laugh at the end. Sick video.
Haha I've had a bit of a laugh watching back through it also, bit of a kook day out haha
Wicked bro solid vids . Should do more of coromandle spear an dives so me can do homework hahah keep it up bro
Haha thanks :) got a few planned on the horizon!
I was going to tell you to put a leash on the paddle last episode 😃. Cheap bungee cord is the go, I have a leash on everything 🤙
Lesson learnt! I've made one already for my next dive!
Don't stress on missing the big one mate
You'll eventually get the better shot on it and then it'll be even bigger
loving the content man 😁 👌🏻
I agree! Cheers for the feedback 👍
Sneppa for the win
Awesome mate
Cheers!
Bring a roll of tinfoil for ya fish/crays and just a cheeky lemon, keeps it clean still get the smokiness
Thanks David, will have to try that!
I’d be guttered losing my fish too bro 😂😂 but another meeean vid !! 👌🏽👌🏽❤️
Shot bro. Yeah guttered haha
Far out bro... few lucky breaks there! Gonna need more strategies to stay safe? It's good you share these lessons , I'm gonna be absolutely new to the game when I start ( in summer ! Lol ) and reckon I'll be better equipped with knowledge on pitfalls from watching these .... cheers Ollie another great video ...
Hey how your duck shoot go? Got my limit in parries... but them easy as hell to get... even had flights of 20 odd flying in on me while I was out in the spread collecting! Bloody poor shot tho! 20 birds in near 60 shots!! Missed like 5 shots in a row once! should be shooting more like 80% !!! Way outa practice lmao
Yeah bro, going to invest in a few more bits of equipment including a GPS epirb thing or similar as usually diving solo. As for the ducks shooting, it was really quite where we were, plenty of cold ales t
Had though! Always a fun day out
chuck a polarised lens filter on your drone bro, makes a epic difference when flying over water. loving the videos though
Thanks the tip mate I'll look into it
Cool videos bro! i subbed
Cheers!
Keep up the great vids, respect for the effort you put in and the results. The current on the outside of that last reef has caught me out before. Have you got a light & flag for your Kayak? RailBlaza do a visibility kit that snaps on/off. I've come close to hitting kayaks in low light and in rough seas before as they're really hard to see so low in the water and don't show up on radar.
Hey bro, cheers. I've got a flag, (should be using). Will look into getting a light, sounds a great idea. Have a few things on the shopping list to add to the yak before next mission. Yeah current was hectic. Couldn't even dive on it, full moon not helping..was intense current.
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit Sweet, was just sharing ideas learned from my long list of mistakes :)
@@craybro cheers bro!
Mean vidz g js started watching u n gta kayak aswell im out dea soon too
Nice bro get into it! You will love it!
Ollie Craig - Reef Hunter yea defz keen az n wen i come bk to aukz il b looking fo u 😂😂
nice video bro
Thanks mate
Do you use a anchor for the Kayak? or just the current too strong... just wondering as thinking about getting a kayak for spearfishing
Usually just connect to my gun, sometime I anchor or tie off to kelp If working a sheltered area.
Is that blue bag water proof and you keep the drone etc in there? Mean vids bro
Thanks man. Yeah bro it's a dry bag where I keep all my electronics. Thankfully it works well!!
What’s the water temp there and what thickness open cell wetsuit?
Temp finally starting to drop, around 16 degrees at the moment. 5mm usually fine, I might try out a 7mm jacket once it gets to 15 and below. It usually never gets colder than 14 degrees up here in the North Island
Love the vids man keep it up all your latest vids have been epic keep it up. By the way if you take bananas out there bad luck that’s our policy anyway 😂
Haha thnaks man. Usually they are good luck for me! Might have to reconsider 🤔
Yeah I remember a commercial skipper teaching me the same.... and don't throw eggshells in water too ....!

Bro leash the paddle on always and keep the Yak away from the rocks at all times. You probably wouldn't have made it back without a paddle and you're only one poor decision from there to really be in a world of shit. I do a fair bit of reckless shit in the water but don't leave things up to luck.
Thanks for your concern, but it was swimable back..just a long way! And kind of hard to keep the kayak away from the rocks when diving next to them in a spot like that.. Would rather have the kayak connected to me vs anchored away from rocks with risk of it getting dragged off in current..
You 2 need to get out for a slay together. Take the takacat for a blast 🤙🏽
