HOW TO FREEDIVE FOR CRAYFISH/LOBSTER - TIPS AND TRICKS
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 27. 07. 2024
- This episode of Kai down under starts of with a cinematic feel, I really wanted to put together something that shows the power of the Moana, the connection I have with it and the passion that myself and many others have of diving and hunting for our Kai and living through the whole process ourswlves instead of having somebody do it all for us.
I put together an instructional/tutorial type video on how I gather my Crayfish/Southern Rock lobster as requested by many of my subscribers.
I go through everything with a fine tooth comb, where to find crays, tips on how to grab them, how to measure them and also how to care for our fishery.
I'm not an expert and this information is based solely on my own experiences so take everything I say with a grain of salt.
The main purpose of this video is to spread what knowledge I have and hopefully help somebody wrangle their first cray.
Make sure you like and subscribe guys and drop a comment below if you have any other tips/tricks or useful info on the subject of cat hing crayfish.
Take care out there whanau

Working on it bro
I Thank God everyday for making Crayfish , Paula . Wow bro I am so impressed another level Bro another level. Watch out for 100k coming up soon . A shore diver more than most I would like you to add 1 more safety equipment to your Kit , attach any where float or knife .A really Good whistle yes orange whistle would be great. I use it for Sharks and alerting friends about Sharks in the water calling in the boat over area. Instead of swimming back and forth.,,. Those Crays are beautiful.
Awesome brother, thank you, and thank you also for those recommendations, I will definitely look in to those ideasđ
@@kaidownunder7870 I know you are and doing a perfect Job Bro .đïž
Nice work bro đ this one would of taken a bit of time đ on point this is going too help a lot of people get a Kia once you Crack the crayfish code it's like the heavens open up đ đ€Ł chur bro đ keep them coming
Awesome bro, and yep definitely took me a while to make, as you'll know I missed a lot of information out but I could get carried away and go too indepth into things and thought it might be easier to keep it simple and let people work some things out for themselves.
And yeah .. once you crack the code it's on aye, you just start to know there's gonna be something there once you see it from a distance, we have to get in the water together one day brođ
@@kaidownunder7870 hard out next nice spell and it's on đ€
@@kaidownunder7870 what's your thoughts on wettie spear gun's bro looking at a reef pro for $310 100cm just in case of a king but I don't won't too buy another gun after this lol đ
@@FR3WY yeah bro, should do the trick, could even double up the rubbers for more punch, I want a kingi real bad. Headed up Milford way this weekend hopefully, fingers crossed I get eyes on a kingiđ
Bro that is the most in deepth tutorial I ever seen. Mean mahi
So keen to get my first koura! Think my main thing is I need to dive deeper.
Within reason bro yes, I mean if you're diving in an area that has high dive traffic, the chances are less likely that you're going to find crayfish in shallower water because they've most likely been cleaned out, crayfish can even be in 1 metre depth if you put yourself in the right spot.
Don't push your depth if you're not ready bro, but always strive to keep working on it in small stepsđ dive safe brother
@@kaidownunder7870 yeah true. Maybe need to look outside my local area too.
Very imformative and beginners can learn allot. Awesome video as always đđđ
Thank you bro!!
Awesome production Shanan, keep up the good work đ
Cheers John, thanks
Chur ma bro this really helped
Fuck ! Epic vid thanks mate. You kiwi divers are good at grabbing the big boys
Kia Ora Cuzzie, moving down south soon from Kaitaia any chance of tagging along. need to find some spots to feed my whanau.
Hit me up when you're down bro and we shall connect if it suits us both đ
In these dives what's the sort of recommendation on breath holds like how long should you learn to be able to hold your breath for going for crays etc ?
Churr bro, first thing I would say about that is always dive to your own limits and never try to dive to someone else's. Obviously the longer you can hold you're breath the better but really it depends on how deep the crays are and whether you can equalise your ears and handle the pressure the deeper you go.
If the crays are in 2mtrs of water you won't need as big of a breath hold, and if they're deeper you'll need a bigger oneđ just try to stay relaxed and move slowly, you use less oxygen this way and it doesn't convert to CO2 which triggers the urge to breathe
@KaiDownUnder thanks for the advice. I can't wait to get in the water
What light do you use bro?
Hey, I was using a D100 from Xtar. unfortunately its somewhere at the bottom of the ocean now.....
that intro was fuckin awesome
great footage cuz what's your secret with the hooker sea lions .Otago coast seems to have more than there fair share. and although I haven't been bitten they have a tendency to chew my fins.bit unnerving
Can't say I've come across many to be fair bro. Usually only come across females who are pretty chill, they usually just glide around beside me but some times can be protective of their pups.
Yea I bet that gets on the anxiety levels if they're having a go at the finsđ đ
Kiaora bro ka pai ehoa mauri Ora
Kia ora cuz, nga mihi
Have you come across any sharks bro
Sure have, I'm not the most experienced with them but they are everywhere. Always have to be expecting the unexpected
