found crayfish, kahawai, blue maomao in goat island marine reserve, freedive 10 meter sandy bottom
winter time cold water, beautiful weather, super clear and calm water. went to east side of the marine reserve, practice finding crayfish from cracks and freediving 10 meter sandy bottoms. snappers followed my all the time. they are very hungy, as people are not allow to feed them. their tommy looks empty. They are not in a healthy condition. saw a big storm of kahawai, spot two crayfish locations, not many in winter, or my skill still not good enough.

zhlédnutí 124Před 9 měsíci
tasty fresh rock crabs, i love the seafood favour so much, monthly low tide, many algae's growing on the rock making it so slippery, really risky to walk on those algae. get there at 11pm, four cars already in the car park, saw some headtorches 500 meters in the front, and 500 meters from the back. it is a very busy night. manage to get 13 crabs back home.

Thanks for watching, goat island is always a great place to go.
Thank you very much
5:35 Dolphins are a type of whale.
Yes, orca is a kind of delphin.
Wowie Zowie!
Amazing!
How long can you hold breath under water
Never more than 90sec in water, but dry breath hold is 5min10, down to 50%spo2.
where did you get that propeller from mate?
I got it from a local company few years ago. But now only available in aliexpress.com. Google "swim propeller "
Cheers mate thankyou
@@tongansotia94 go to Auckland Scuba dive, 49b Arrenway Drive, Rosedale, Auckland 0629
hi there where is this?
Goat Island.
Heaps of octopus that place !
Really, I couldn't find any.
Learner don't dive alone and yes deeper water bigger fish?lol
For me, dive alone more comfortable. 5 to 10 meter is enough to get big fish.
哈哈,不如下次叫埋我一齐捉啦
Ok呀 下次叫埋你
Mind if i join you?
We can go together, any plan?
@@jianxinli4u im a beginner, would like to learn from you if you are ok with that. I will be overseas from 7dec, coming back to nz on 7 jan. You have an Instagram account or 手机号?
😢 'promo sm'
shooting a fish moving that fast isnt easy, damn
amazing stuff man you are a really good shot
Thanks, and I hope you enjoy
Hi, I am looking for freediving and spearfishing buddy, as I don't to do it alone. Is there any chance I can join you ?
Yes. I will let you know if I go. You can give me your contact information. And you can let me know when you go.
Oh cool, I live at castor bay- did u go off the beach or the rocks on the left?
Access from the beach, then swim to the left side.
Never new there were crayfish at army bay
I saw a small one once.
Your not deep enough bro obviously still learning but yea maybe go a couple more metres deeper that's where the bigger fish are lol
I know it is shallow. Deeper always bigger. When go boat rod fishing, normally hooked from 12m to 40m deep.
But big snappers do park in weed depth sometimes. And with baits, they do come up.
@@jianxinli4u yea for sure man no offense meant Coromandal got wicked places you can shore dive these Auckland waters ain't the greatest even up by Leigh has some pretty good spear fishing 👌hour out of auckland
I been shore dive coromandal 2021 January. Good visibility, can see 7meter depth clearly from the top. Warm water in January. When I returning back to the shore with my fish bag 5meter behind me, a shark bited my fish bag away. Few days later, a girl died from shark attack at pauanui Beach.
Man that's really sad to hear..yea always alot of sharks down Coro especially in the summer time when water warms a little Got to be careful when spear fishing esp if your catch bag is still in the water..stay safe out there bro I encountered a atleast 3.5m bronzey around Christmas time scared the shit outta me came out of nowhere lol but yea stay safe bro always good to have a dive buddy I usually do solo missions but yea dive buddy is always good
Just subscribed, Army bay is a great place, I used to dive there in the 80s.
How was Army bay 40 years ago?
@@jianxinli4u didn't find anything, back then . I was a scuba diver, and in the NZ army so it was convenient place to go. Enjoyed Goat Island for the scenery.
collect those kinas and smash them, give it half an hour to an hour you will soon find fish drawn in to feed.
I just smashed 6 or 8 each time, only give it 5 minutes. I think half or an hour will be too long for them to feed.
Do you dive on your own?
yes. most of the time.
Thanks this gave me an idea of what the path and area is like for cycling if I have a go this Labour weekend.
a lot of cycling paths for kids and families in Auckland
Sea looks dead man! 😔
after cracked some kina, the fish will come very fast in winter.
My friend works for fisheries this info will be passed on for sure. Poor selecting a fish and loaded gun floating around.
Thank you for showing me what was it like under the water.
you are welcome.
Hey bro let me know when you go out next so I can come don't want to go by myself
i'll tell your before i go.
Army bay has been hammered an needs a rahui on the place so the sea life shell fish can come back 20 of years ago the sea life was plentiful haven't been back there since then looks barren
auckland and new Zealand population are growing, we should reduce population and pollution.
How long to climb that looked epic.
4hours for me from the north visitor centre to summit.
where was this?
Matherson bay
hey bro do you see any paua or crays around this area??
no paua, no crays. too easy to get to this place.
That's a nice sound brother
sound of the nature. no background music😀
Crack and pop sound mate you its the sound of crays buddie.
Nice job, what did ya bag in the end.
two black snappers. too many other fishermen on Saturday. the trailer car park are full.
请问您用的是什么型号的float line?看起来好像可以自动收线。
那是户外晾衣服的绳,手动收线。😁
Hey bro how deep was this?
not too far from the island, the depth is about 14 meter

Can I ask a few things? like your weight, suit thickness, and belt weight coz looks like we have the same body build :). Nice video and thanks for sharing.
67kg, 5mm suit without inner layer, good for water temperature 20c to 10c. 7.5kg belt weight. a bit too much, cos i can't breath without snorkel at surface. 😁
@@jianxinli4u Thanks for your reply. I'm aiming for chin above water for safety. Thanks again and dive safely. Subbed :)
Well done on the video, great fun to watch, Happy new year of the Tiger, Hope you and your family have lots of success in 2022, Hello from Aussie, Cheers for sharing the fun! Dive Safe!
thanks for your watching and greeting. happy lunar new year of tiger.
Hi, I recently started freediving and would like to know if you want to go together?
yes. i live in north shore. normally i go on Saturday or Sunday. i will check the swell or wave height.
Hello my husband would like to go free diving with you 2 😄
@@eliaspalekotama5732 Great. I normally go on Saturday or Sunday, this days are perfect without rain for a long time. I will check the swell, wind and tide before I go.
Is this matheson?
yes. always good visibility.
@@jianxinli4u have you been successful anyway around Auckland. I know it's muddy but we are trying to find a spot for kina
@@steve-ohunter6870 a lot of kina in Matheson bay and army bay. but not all are fat inside the shell. someone told me the best time is January.
@@jianxinli4u we are going out to matheson this Saturday morning if you want to join mate.

Hi there...awesome video...can you tell me what's the waterproof camera that you used... cheers
go pro9 and a waterproof case. go pro 9 can go under 10 meter, with the case can go 30 meter.
Mate do you kno size limits on sea food I’m sure some snapper you shoot are well under size

Wow 16 bil chips nice
53 bil now. haha

Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas. Subscribed.
thanks. happy holidays.
Unusual to target the Porore ( shit fish ) know to feed on human fecal matter, easy to catch on breaded hook..but not good eating unless it's all you have..
parore is easy to get. not many snappers for shore dive around Auckland.
Hello. Could I follow you for crabbing one day if ya don't mind? Xiexie
good. let's see when is the next super low tide.
Where do you live? Would love for you to come for a dive with me around our local areas :). I'm in Wellington.
i live in Auckland. only been to Wellington twice.
Cool footage bro. Looked like a mean day out, good vis and caught a feed.
thanks. hot day. shark took some fish from me.
Where exactly is this?? I just want those kinas 😂
Army Bay, Silverdale, Auckland. as long as you are far from Auckland, there are more fish and wild lives.
This is so sad. Kina barren with just a few undersized fish and very little diversity. Used to dive here 30 years ago, was completely different
The population of Auckland is growing fast. More people consume the environment.
