Another nice video Ollie, nice places to visit as well. Our wetsuits arrived and lockdowns are over for us so my son and I will give the spearfishing a go. We have nice crayfish here is Southwest Victoria so we’ll attempt to get one. Thanks for spurring us on!!

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Awesome Timothy! Good luck out there!

Thanks Ollie, loved it.

Thanks Deb!

[@aporokirikava1583]

Love it Ollie... always look forward to your vids... the commentary and learning from you. If you're ever in the Cook Islands 🇨🇰 particularly Rarotonga and Aitutaki, hit me up and we can show you some of the spots brother...

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Hey bro cheers for the feedback! Will do mate! I was planning to come over to the Cook Islands this summer but obviously that's not gonna happen. My brother in law is from Mauke, was there about 6 years ago when I wasn't into spearing, itching to get back there with a speargun!

Очень красиво!!! Необычный подводный ландшафт!!! 👍👍👍!

[@BigMkombe]

Nice Bro! Can you show us that cray noose with the shark clips, looks better than a net bag!

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Cray noose! Find them at Ocean Hunter bro. Or fairly easy to make yourself

[@tahipiripi314]

Epic kai. Your editing is pretty sharp too bro. Keep up the good mahi.

Thanks bro!

Always a good day when you post mate

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Cheer Kian 👍

[@marklonie4058]

Thx Ollie Was a bit shocked really as I used to visit the barrier in the 70s and while it’s still looks clean and green it’s starting to look sparse and empty same as the med

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Yeah perhaps that's just the case of the inside as very easy to access on trailer boats from Auckland on a day trip now.. Back side might still Be similar to back then? I'm sure nowhere in the country is the same as it used to be unless at the Cape up north 3 Kings etc..

[@marklonie4058]

For sure I think I was just lucky and grew up in Auckland when we rowed out from Stanley bay and filled the dinghy with snapper or collected our scallops from Cheltenham beach after a blow and couldn’t find enough containers for all the Whitebait we caught off Devonport wharf . We were blessed 😋

[@daveocatnz]

sick bro! great day out!

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Cheers bro! Yep always is!

Cheers!

[@BelowTheSURFace.]

Nice footage as always man but ya definitely hit the wrong spots. Good video to deter people from coming here nonetheless haha. The inside has been emptied, if ya have the lung capacity, try hit the needles.

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Yeah man my first time there. Had no idea where to go. Def need to get to needles or Ocean side one day!

[@BelowTheSURFace.]

@@olliecraig-primalpursuit oceanside is where it's at man 😉🤫

[@davidfealy1744]

Hey mate live your channel. Just wondering why your mate is using a cray loop??

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

It's a cray hook. Helped to get crays out of deep cracks or in caves where its impossible to get arms in otherwise.

[@sweetgirltohu9210]

The man👏

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Thanks 😊

[@beachislife771]

Absolutely wicked. What gloves do you use? They look like great finger protection for catching crays.

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Thanks mate. I use all sorts of gloves. But main go to glove is a leather amara glove. Still got enough feeling but strong protection. No gloves keep you safe from the crays though!

[@12papara]

Brah, you need to”Sneppa” shirt

[@santanaponga8544]

Mean vid! How long is the boat ride

[@olliecraig-primalpursuit]

Thanks bro. 1- 1 1/2 hours?

[@ReubenHamill]

Nice! I love the mission mentality and how you just all went on like a 3 hour? drive to Barrier for the day. Keep the vids coming! Oh and you really made it now, you can tell cause people are posting porn links on your vids ;)
