Camp Catch Cook (Snapper) Spearfishing

[@roilhead]

Solo missions are my favorite. Eat when you want to eat, sleep when you want to sleep, no need to run anything by anyone except yourself.

"Just switch off from all the bullshit and chill out at nature, it's the best thing for you" .. truer words have never been spoken.. awesome video man.. Hope to move down to NZ very soon.. can't wait. Keep these incredible videos coming Ollie.. they are really inspiring

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Thanks for the feedback mate. Yep best thing to do!

[@supersignsaustraliaptyltd3734]

Spent a fair bit of time fishing solo, no sure I got big enough nuts to go solo underwater but agree 100% the things you see the way things work out, the way you feel, is tremendous for mind and body, you are never alone in nature, hahaha not sure what you are doing here if you don’t like the outdoors was a fantastic comment and sums up every kiwi I have ever known, outdoor people and why not once again you have shown us why NZ is one of the worlds most beautiful places in the world. Thanks for taking us along, well done mate tough conditions low vis but your hunger to provide great content shows through, and you needed a feed but what was the water temp, low and tough going I’m sure. Such an enjoyable production thanks again I am a proud supporter and encourage all watching to support this channel so we all get more, I’m too old and fat be be jumping in the winter water let alone a NZ coastline as good as it looks I imagine it’s bloody freezing and the rocks on the beach didn’t look too soft but now I don’t have too, Ollie does it for me, a channel well worth supporting. I do join me

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Hey mate, Thanks so much for the positive feedback! You're right, we are never alone in nature! Water isnt too cold, only about 15/16 degrees! Nice in warm in my 5mm Seabuck suit!

[@rorynesta7766]

This is the best video to wake up to after recovered from a massive migraine.Very soothing for the mind.Can't wait till the day I can do camping and fishing and explore more of beautiful NZ.Top notch video again,as always.Thank you for them:)

[@pauldensem3643]

Another excellent adventure Ollie! Love the panoramic shots. And I agree about the alone time in the great outdoors - a good reset.

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Cheers Paul! Yep, great way to reset, my weekly special haha

[@thor_6886]

Another great adventure, mate. that boat seems perfect for that kind of mission. Most of us would be too scared to anchor there. As a non diver I'm amazed that you didn't find crays galore in that kind of remote environment. Just a tip re the whole snapper - if you put some lemon slices and herbs inside the cleaned gut cavity, it tends to infuse the flesh even more. You could get fancy and pre make up a rub at home - with Asian flavours including ginger, garlic, chilli, lemon grass, mint etc. Stunning with snapper.

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Thanks mate. Yeah, I'll definitely make some more interesting recipes going forward! Well, Maybe I was a bit silly anchoring there, not too much to go wrong there in such calm conditions however. Cheers for the comment

[@charncecallaghan2607]

Cheers Ollie another great video bro, you're not wrong on the solo experience. Have just moved home after a long time in Oz where I did a few solo camping missions, a fire, a couple of beers and no reception can't beat it to clear the mind. Looking forward to getting into the underwater adventures and outdoors here. Keep up great work. Thanks again

Good stuff ! Yeah, I would do the same on my boat if it was a bit bigger haha, also not filling up with water slowly though the rear scupper! One night away if more than enough for a quick reset

[@gerrywilmering6909]

Hi Ollie. Fantastic adventure mate. I have fished land-based to the south of the bay for eighteen years. It was great to recognize this place from another angle. Last four years has not fished well. As for mental health. Awesome mate. Can't wait for your next mission

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Cheers Gerry! Interesting about not fishing too well.. Suprising considering the abundance of Snapper in farms etc nearby. Definitely didn't have that 'Fishy' feeling and I covered a fair bit of coast. Strange

[@gerrywilmering6909]

Hi Ollie. Thanks for reply. I do have some theories about that. For years the predominant wind was SW. This has changes, so the coast doesn't get the regular wash it used too. Also there is alot of pressure from Auckland booties that never used to be there. Try the other side at the same latertude. It's still a beautiful place. Look forward to your next video. Cheers Gerry

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

@@gerrywilmering6909 cheers will do! Lots of country to explore that side

[@thekookshow3885]

100% agree Ollie, solo missions are so good. And loving the content, thanks alot, always looking forward to the next ep... 🤙 Quick question, do you use any tools to predict the viz? Don't know if you've heard of the Cawthroneye, but it uploads 2 satellite images a day which is quite helpful to see where murky waters are. I'm quite new to the sport, so still trying to learn what creates murky waters ect...

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Thanks mate! Yes I use Cawthron eye, also look into Nasa World view, play around with the chloryphill layers etc can help also

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

When you're sitting around a driftwood bonfire you'll be inhaling a toxic chemical known as dioxin. Burning the absorbed salt releases sodium and chlorine ions which form dioxins that are carcinogenic. People with bronchitis or asthma are particularly vulnerable from breathing these in.
