    Respect to you for taking just enough. When i saw the title "massive crayfish haul" i clicked on the video with the intent to rant about greedy, inconsiderate people. It's such a treat to see that not everyone is a full of greed. I'm glad that our waters were able to provide for you, a delicious feast. One thing i have always believed is that "When you nuture/respect the sea, the sea will always provide".
    Thanks for the awesome video dude 👍

    • @KerryFlowers
      @KerryFlowers  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah sorry about the click bait title! I always think that it is best to take only what you can eat fresh and normally I wouldn't have taken nearly as much as that but we had a bit group of people staying with us so we needed a decent ammount! Totally agree about respecting the environment and it providing...Cheers!!!

    In Essex in England they say “well jell “ ( very jealous ) meaning that someone is extremely envious of you or something you’ve done or obtained. When I saw those crays, fish etc, I was well jell. Excellent video again Kerry, thought I was dreaming.

    To prevent roll overs coming in through the swell on a kayak, keep paddling hard All the way to the sand, when you catch a wave and it propels you forward keep paddling harder to keep it tracking forward, if u stop the wave will turn the rear of the kayak and roll it.

    • @KerryFlowers
      @KerryFlowers  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can't do that with the pedal drive down otherwise it will dig into the sand and if you take the clip that holds it down off then it will pop up when you pedal hard. It is one of the only downfalls of the kayak i reckon...Cheers!!!

    Those look yummy, we don't get that type in Hawaii. Pedal drives are nice but the propeller type kept jamming up with seaweed for me. I got a Hobie with mirage drive and it is smoother, faster and doesn't just stop with seaweed.

    • @KerryFlowers
      @KerryFlowers  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I haven't found too many problems with seaweed, usually a couple of pedals backwards clears it, I would love to try a mirage drive someday it's something I have not had a chance to yet. One kayak on my wish list is a hobie adventure island but they are just so dam expensive here even second hand...Cheers!!!

  • @thor_6886
    @thor_6886 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great vid, Kerry. Amazing to see what's below the surface in those places. if you were fishing with softies, do you think you'd have got any snaps? Looked like pretty good spots, but no snapper in sight? Also, would it be handy to have a paddle stashed on the Old Town to help your surf landings (and if your foot power unit goes awry)? You look a bit vulnerable to getting broadside with just foot power only in those situations, whereas the old Town looks great for everything else when ocean going.

    • @KerryFlowers
      @KerryFlowers  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm sure that there would be snapper in close there at times but at this time of year they are a little deeper, I do have a paddle stashed in the hull of the PDL but don't really feel that it would help in the surf....Cheers!!!

    You can get bothered by great whites? I’d be paranoid as hell diving there 😳

    • @KerryFlowers
      @KerryFlowers  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah there can be great white sharks there but you have to remember that they don't prey on humans, most of the attacks are from the shark mistaking the person for a seal and there don't seem to be many seals up there at this time of year...Cheers!!!

    • @KerryFlowers
      @KerryFlowers  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @Pats308
    @Pats308 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yeah, I think I’ll just buy them. The gears and equipment to do that seems to be a bit much for some crawfish and sea life.

    • @KerryFlowers
      @KerryFlowers  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah if you look at it that way then maybe but for me it is more than just getting something to eat, it is a lot of fun. Plus if you add up all that I have caught and put a dollar value on it I would be a long way ahead on what I have paid for the equipment...Cheers!!!

    • @Pats308
      @Pats308 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Kerry Flowers Kayak Fisherman and I totally agree. I do enjoy watching the videos though. Family life in the city won’t allow me to do what u guys do, we here in the city are miserable 😩

    Kai moana sorted! Mean footage and mahi bro...What are the fins like you're diving with? Worth getting a pair??

    • @KerryFlowers
      @KerryFlowers  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cheers!!! I really like the fins, they are made by Sam Price from OXS enterprises. He is still in the early days of making them so there are still changes being made but I feel that they are nicer to use than my previous composite fins. Here is a link to his online store if you are interested....oxsenterprises.com/product/oxs-composite-fins-2/

    Do you worry about sharks there?

    • @KerryFlowers
      @KerryFlowers  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      We are very lucky in the fact that the sharks here are not known to be overly aggressive so if they do come to hassle you most of the time you can see them off with a bit of a poke. In saying that it is rare to see sharks unless you are spearing kingfish, so to answer your question no not really too worried...Cheers!!!

    • @KerryFlowers
      @KerryFlowers  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes they are expensive and there is no way I could afford to buy them so it is fortunate that I can get out and dive for them so I can share them with my friends and family...Cheers!!!

    Are you not afraid of the sharks? Specially great whites ?

    • @KerryFlowers
      @KerryFlowers  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      No not afraid, great whites are not at all common and humans are not their prey - most bites are when the GW has mistaken the human for a seal...Cheers!!!

    We are at a all time low for cray fish in NZ, people taking undersized crays

    • @KerryFlowers
      @KerryFlowers  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      All of NZ? I'm not so sure about that, certainly on the east coast of the north island cray numbers at an all time low but in other areas the populations are reportedly healthy - Personally I think it has more to do with the absence of big snapper and the subsequent higher octopus numbers than people taking under size crayfish...Cheers!!!
