    Gidday bros I’m from nz and a hot tip about oysters is they are at their biggest in winter and they are smaller in summer because that’s when they are spawning. Be awesome to see them in the winter when the whole shells are full. As always tho love watching all your episodes and they always give me inspiration to get out myself. Cheers wild reaches
