Freediving for Crayfish and Pauas off Banks Peninsula with no Gloves

[@liamwilson9002]

Just subscribed and surprised I hadn't seen your videos earlier!! It's good to see some parts of the peninsula havnt been completely raided.

[@NZWildAdventures]

Cheers for watching 😁. Yeah plenty of things to catch! I definitely got lucky with the crays in that shallow though

[@solomonitama1448]

Thanks mate! Cheers for the feedback, definitely got a few fishing adventures in the works 👌

[@summerdenize]

You're insane Tasman! 😱 Crayfishing with bare hands walking on ice with bare feet! 😱

[@brentigo]

Now that is a bloody good day out. Great stuff mate.

[@theway3666]

Awesome video. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos from the peninsula. I am definitely going out there with my kayak next summer. 😃

[@NZWildAdventures]

Nice one! That'll be cool, I may have to look into getting a wee kayak myself 🤔😂 Cheers mate 👌

[@waenmanson3489]

Loving the vids mate. Have watched them all now!

Wow impressive effort for just a couple weeks! Cheers for the support 😁

[@pauldensem3643]

Awesome stuff! Sure glad I discovered your content Tasman. It's a neat approach to your refreshing delivery. Keep it up! (and the bare hands!!!!!)

[@NZWildAdventures]

Thanks bro! Glad you're enjoying the vids 😁. Hahaha won't be forgetting gloves any time soon! Suuurely not 😂

[@johnpomare41]

[@flowss7329]

[@NZWildAdventures]

Haha seems unlikely 😂. Thanks Mark 😊

[@thomashbrooker5752]

[@Sneakycuboid]

Very lucky to see that Hoiho, I believe he's the last one left on BP :(

[@NZWildAdventures]

No way! Didn't realize at the time, that's crazy

[@PeterLeroux-t1g]

Awesome!

[@rorymcquinn9448]

Mate you go ok! Wish the channel all the best.

[@philipevans4219]

another awesome watch, you put us hillbilly cooks to shame lol. thanks again

[@NZWildAdventures]

Haha thanks Philip 😂 certainly tastes good but nothing too fancy 👌

[@brianwinter1067]

First class viewing Tasman...always is. I hope your long time buddy Arved is going well. Cheers.

[@NZWildAdventures]

Thanks Brian! 😊. Yip he's doing pretty good, the elusive Irish sea fish aren't playing ball at all though 🤣

[@whereareyougt]

Hey good content bro. Double thumbs 👍👍

[@NZWildAdventures]

Thanks Greg! 😊

[@miimetuap518]

You made me subscribe once you added the pasta to the pauas emmmmmm yummy 😋 I love Kai Moana I live in auckland not as easy to gather

[@NZWildAdventures]

Awesome 😊 can't beat a good feed from the sea!

[@pauldavies4870]

Very Niice. You make it look so easy, but it's a long wait between drinks with this two week video schedule. And it's be a long time since Arved, maybe he is making a series and will release it at Christmas for binge watching. I can't imagine he is spending weekends on the couch... umm. The wildlife in that bay was incredible, especially that man eating sized octopus. What do you do with 5 crayfish - become an instant friend of many maybe.

[@NZWildAdventures]

Thanks Paul 😁. Yeah Arved 😉 🤣. I'm sure he's up to no good, a Christmas series would be great 😂. Yeah a couple to friends, a couple for the freezer and a couple for the belly! oh that's 6, huh

[@TheDfly141]

What a legend

[@Jim_Lewis_Venni_Vendetta]

Good one Tasman!

[@leonardvirtue5753]

Nice 😊 yummy!!!🎉🎉🤠👌👌💪💯💯💯🤙

[@paitakiwheki7371]

Where is that bro nice

[@NZWildAdventures]

Pretty far east on the peninsula 👌

[@brendans5843]

Where are you in this vid.Three crayfish limit in Nz

[@NZWildAdventures]

Banks peninsula 😂 besides, this was back in 2022, I understand the limit of 3 only took effect in Northland this year. Cheers

[@outlawwsog2676]

your great brother mean kai mahi 💯🫡🔥

[@KiwiKaimoana]

Watched this video a few times and I'm pretty sure I know what bay you were in. If I'm right, man this must've taken you a while to get there. Like mabey 1 or 2 hours from the boat ramp. Where are those cool tunnels you drive the boat thru? Are they somewhere down south near the amphitheater or Damon's bay or something?

[@NZWildAdventures]

Nice one! Yeah it's a cool spot, it takes a little over an hour when it's calm. Actually I'm not too sure exactly where that tunnel cave is, I tend to just cruise around and go through it when I see it 😂. Pretty sure it's a little east of Damon's though, somewhere round Redcliffe point 👌

[@jakemitchell6911]

Hey mate, awesome video! Wondering if you'd be able to help me. I currently have a inflatable but want something a bit lighter. What is your inflatable type? Awesome how u are able to one man lift it

[@NZWildAdventures]

Thanks mate! She weighs about 75kgs from memory, it's got 5 floor pieces (4 aluminium and 1 plywood) joined at the sides with removable aluminium rails, and an inflatable keel under the floor 👍.

[@muza1404]

What make of inflatable is that one you have Tasman.

[@NZWildAdventures]

It's an OceanNZ inflatable, not sure if they're still selling this particular model. It's 3.6m and totally awesome 😁

[@muza1404]

Good thanks mate I've been looking at A Rockboat inflatable seem really good little boats if that's the one you have always used it's been a cracker little ship .

[@NZWildAdventures]

Nice, those look pretty good! Bought mine (Red Current) in 2015, she's been on a lot of missions 😁

[@picklethicc8975]

@@muza1404 I have a Rockboat. 3.3m and perfect for solo trips. One less floor panel than the 3.6m so makes it lighter and way easier to move on your own. Inflatables are under rated, such good wee boats

[@jaredcantlon1838]

Just found your channel. Awesome stuff. Can you pitch a tent anywhere around there? Living the dream.

[@AdventureAdictNZ]

hey tasman, id love to know what the model is of your boat, a small inflatable is in my budget so i can get out there myself!

[@NZWildAdventures]

We bought it off Ocean Inflatables NZ back in 2015, I think they're not active anymore though. It's a 3.6m, and says "OceanNZ" on the side, and was $1400 back then! Absolutely worth it, so convenient too fits in the boot easy as 😁. Also we got a Tohatsu 9.8hp new for around 2.5k I think. Upgraded this year to a Tohatsu 18hp, $2k secondhand, would recommend more than the 9.8, much better suited to the boat size for more people/gear and the same efficiency 👌

[@AdventureAdictNZ]

@@NZWildAdventures thanks so much for the reply! that's more than enough to get out there the real question is when are you doing a north island mission?

[@NZWildAdventures]

Haha going to walk Tongariro in Feb, flick us a DM if you wanna take me fishing in your new boat 😉🤣

[@picklethicc8975]

Rockboat marine do very similar style inflatables. Have one myself and highly recommend

[@fedupwithyourstuff]

@@NZWildAdventures How many people can you take onboard with some basic diving gear? Many thanks!

[@ArbyCreations]

How do you handle diving without specs? I battle with contacts and I really cant see much without my specs.

[@NZWildAdventures]

I'm pretty badly short-sighted and can't see bugger all out of the water without my specs, but something about the mask and water seems to sort everything out, so it's pretty easy to see the things you're after. No need to have 20/20 vision to see a nice big crayfish in any case 😂

[@fedupwithyourstuff]

There are prescription masks available in NZ, pricey but work well. Cheers!

[@finnbrittenden9161]

Is that a 3m ocean NZ boat?

[@NZWildAdventures]

Yep, but a 3.6m one 👌

[@jackiewilliams8543]

My type off kai gatherings shallow waters mean

[@NZWildAdventures]

Yeah 3m deep is about my max 🤣

[@DigitalMilk912]

Bet you will bring gloves next time

[@NZWildAdventures]

Suuurely 😂

[@teamRa2]

The fucking man bro epic videos

[@NZWildAdventures]

😂 thanks mate, cheers for watching!

[@CraigAspinall-m1f]

Yes can you do more catching cookin so many boring prm on fishing the worst is Matt ha

[@NZWildAdventures]

Hahaha he's got more than a bit more personality tho 🤣 plenty more to come!

[@monsta.5261]

Invest in some above average camera gear practice your camera handling and practice some hard monologues and the youtube world will be your oyster!! Excuse the pun 😜5 stars

[@NZWildAdventures]

😂 slowly improving my camera arsenal, certainly a few upgrades to go! Thanks mate 😁
