Stop Losing Fish: PATIENCE & PERSISTENCE (Ep.5) New Zealand Spearfishing

North Shore Beach Exploration turns into an unexpected kingfish encounter while hunting snapper in shallow water.
Patience is defined as the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious. The Applications of patience are numerous and applicable to many aspects of life, including spearfishing! Often its only a matter of time and things will to work out in your favor, waiting for the right opportunity makes for greater success.
I wouldn't recommend diving the North Shore of Auckland due to extreme tidal viscosity, unpredictable moon phases, manganese nodules, heavy metal run off and rouge Jetskis. Jokes aside I do hesitate to share footage from these locations as they are so near and dear to my heart, all I can hope is people are able to appreciate these spots without destroying them as we often do. Not the three kings by any means, our north shore beaches are very accessible and located close to Auckland, New Zealand's largest city. I consider many of these areas to be underappreciated though often bloody difficult to catch fish. Though sharing videos from the North Shore I understand that it may potentially be the inspiration for a dive or two, but take care because I might catch you out there.
I feel like I always run out of time in these videos before being able to cover everything I want. As the finale for this series I am happy to be presenting it to you and excited to move onto different projects. I hope that you have found value in these videos and I want to continue providing information with the goal of helping people and planet.
After traveling to Samoa mid last year and missing more fish than I care to admit plus grazing one or two, I felt very determined to improve my success rate. Shortly after returning, I missed a trevally. Failure is often the greatest teacher and I have many blunders under my belt but knew I could do better. That was over 10 months ago now and I haven't missed or lost any fish since. I believe that a simple conscious decision can have exceptional consequences. I would like to share my journey on this personals challenge with you and have plans to around the 1 year mark that I hope to reach. I challenge you to set this goal in your own diving, its a fun experiment at the very least.
