Awesome Ollie. Lovely scenery below and above water. I finally got in today and back on L plates. You need to be doing it often to keep up the breath hold.
Great VID guys Scorpion fish in my Country her name is "Rascasse" color brown/red and if it's very red the name is "Chapon" from Provence French near St Tropez ..
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit I wasn't up in Northland proper, but just over border in Mangawhai but would frequently drive up north. Also used to live in Leigh which was a lovely area. Looking forward to exploring my new range but need a thicker suit! Been getting into deer stalking more these days.
Almost missed this bro, Monday being a heavy news day and in the state of the world at this current time my notification bell has been pinging all day. don´t stop bro, awesome content!!
Not that I know of.. But I don't really have any idea of what you can buy out there as I don't buy fish. I wouldn't think so as they are a reef species and in pretty low numbers
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit Nice, We are looking at having a boat sorted in next few weeks subject to it being suveryed and intend to spend the rest of my days diving/Fishing and filming and sucking it all back up again, ive missed the ocean...
Mate what’s your thoughts on the Chinese guys who are flouting the Pink Mau Mau quotas (or lack of) in the Coromandel. They apparently have been taking several thousand between 3 or 4 guys. They’re clearly on selling it. Hurts when you have these immigrants with no regard for the land or sea in NZ/Aotearoa.
The Fella wanted to pay for his engine he reckons, That situation really highlights the values we have compared to people from other countries. Most countries around the world you just could not fish like we do here as it is stuffed, the Med is for the most part empty and the coastline around the Asian countries is a train wreck. Hence when people come here they just cant help themselves
@@Titannz213 I've met older Kiwis who brag of taking dozens of Snapper in the old days and then complaining about how it isn't as good now. Lets not pretend this greed is a uniquely asian problem. More education, more marine sanctuaries and better enforcement are needed
@@Titannz213 That’s why they need to be punished brutally. Boat, house, conviction and/or deportation. Regardless of where you are from. NZ has already been plundered enough. These guys are smashing mortgages with illegally sold fish while everyday Kiwi’s are getting screwed over for toe’ing the line.
@@jamaicanbobsled7603 I agree totally. Large areas of coast up my way are barren compared to even 10 years ago iv noticed. Getting harder to get a feed
Chur too much my bro, good feed the ol Maomao, you don't take the blue ones my bro? They are deadly smoked. Too much alright my bro, another awesome vid
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit na my bro the weather has been pretty crap. Was supposed to go this weekend but again looks to be rough. Come fine weather we on, those blue moki better watch out. More than welcome t come for a looksie my bro
Mean footage bro. I do really try to give you a full view but I’m this occasion the end was far too long after you had finished talking. Keep them coming mate good work

What a cool video mate! Crumbed butterfish is also my favourite. Would love to try those pink mao mao though.
They are very similar Craig, I think I still prefer the butterfish!
Hi Ollie, another top video on your scoreboard. I totally enjoyed watching your aquatic adventures. Love your work. Keep them coming. Cheers. Trev

This really makes me miss living up in Northland. In Hawkes Bay now which is nice but damn I miss the gulf.
Yeah I bet. Northland is where the goods are! I need to get further north more often

Hey Ollie, with your butter burgers, how do you stop the fillet curling up? Butters are real bad at curling up on the pan
I cut the fillets into pieces first
Gotta love the Mokes bro ... only been there a few times , great vid as always
Yeah I can only Imagine how insane it is on a good day. Cheers mate
Looks epic mate
Cheers Arlo
Nice job Ollie, really good drone footage as well. Nothing like a good spearo vid to kill the COVID rubbish.
Rubbish it is.. Thanks mate. More on the way
Few extra toat tanks and the right conditions, might be able to get out there in the ol rubber duckie
I must admit, I have definitely Put some though into it Enrico! Biggest day so far is 60km, but that's a return trip. its BLOODY far out!
Almost missed this bro, Monday being a heavy news day and in the state of the world at this current time my notification bell has been pinging all day. don´t stop bro, awesome content!!
Cheers mate! Yep hectic times alright!
Did you get lots of pie notifications?
@@leighbruz9794 I wish bro. Scandinavian countries are shit for pies
@@olliecraig-primalpursuit well this week escalated quickly 😂 Honesty bro, Love your content! I’m originally from Paihia and I’m one home sick kiwi!
@@thepiehunter2633 cheers bro, I bet you are!
Hey mate have you thought about live streaming your dives?
Hey Jacob. No not really. Maybe going live for breif moments. Will take that on board 👍
So wanna try scorpion fish. Can you even buy fillets?
Not that I know of.. But I don't really have any idea of what you can buy out there as I don't buy fish. I wouldn't think so as they are a reef species and in pretty low numbers
Plenty in the far north if you can get up there for a dive
I’d be keen watch a scorpion cook vid👀
Nice spot bro🤙
Thanks ✌
Did the big ones taste just as good as the small ones? Those are donkey koe's
Yeah mate just as delicious!
Nice video Bud, looks like you got a new drone, the video quality seems to be better?
Nope, Just an awesome clear day and a few of my other videos I had the settings mixed up so bad quality.

Yeah it's pretty messed up. Let's hope mpi sorts out a bag limit etc and protects the fish ASAP
