Thread: Bloody nice to get out.

So decided to make my own Hawaiian spear just to be different, finished up and thought right time for a day trip.
A quick call to a mate and with partners in tow we were off to Akaroa for the day. Arrived just out side of Wianui and down to the water.
Absolutely mint day, no wind, a bit of sun and all of about 2 meters visibility









Spent about 3hrs in the water and didn't see a single fish over 10cm but we managed a few Paua so i'm a happy man.



Still need to bloody my spear but guess I need to find somewhere with a few butters around.

Or flounder!

Good shit Mark:thumbup:

How do you find that mask? is it a Pro dive one? I got one before my trip up to Whitianga this year went bloody good, having a big snoz she was the perfect tool for the job

Yep it is a Pro-Dive one Big Foot. She's bloody good in terms of vision and really comfortable but I tend to like to equalise quickly as I go down by squeezing my nose and blowing which I cant do in this mask! I tried the cheaper pro-dive one with the silicone nose piece but it pressed on the bridge of my nose and was painful after a short time.

Cheers Cam. Am looking to get the family up your way for a couple of days in a couple of weeks, you be keen to go for a dive or quick hunt if we get up?

Yep if I can get the time, work is mad at the mo but would be keen for a walk.
I dont have gears for snorkeling but could borrow with enough notice, If I cant make it @stingray would be keen for a swim Im sure

Cracker day there.

Sure was Dundee. I thought the guru that is stingray was a north islander lol will have to hit him up with some questions too

Keen as savage. Got a couple of local spots that are worth a look. No where near a guru through just a Keen as amateur!!

Mean as photos that place looks fishy as. Maybe it gets a bit of a work out or try it when the tide is in a bit and the weed is floating.Should be some crays amongst the weed. Looks like a beaut spot all the same.

Sounds good stingray. I would have thought there would have been a few around too but it does herbs hammering I think

Nice one
I used to break open a couple of kina and sit back a bit and wait for the fish to come in, then Kapow You can even take them a bit to a likely spot to set up your ambush
