There may be a lack of fishing shows but 3 nights in a row with hunting shows...... I'm not complaining! Last night red stag, night before Dudley's and then there was hunting aoteroa the night before! :thumbsup:

The kiwi bushman has some slickly edited fishing and diving videos from around the south island, durville, hokitika trench, jacksons bay etc.
Matt Watson has his own whole channel. Its called ultimate fishing.
But honestly there are so many cool little vids put up by heaps of random fellas.
Just type in to youtube's search engine what ever tickles your fancy and watch away. Best thing is you dont get 5 min add breaks and if you dont like it just hit stop ... on to the next one [emoji106]
After a while youtube learns what you like and new shit pops up all the time. Watched a dude explaining how he goes about spearing big snaps the other day. Very interesting.
Heaps of good hunting stuff too. Rogee Productions, Gav Bubu, Ruahine Hunter, Life of a Bushman and Keeing It Wild all have some good vids.

Wrong side of the boat today! VC and his young bloke took me out for a mish ...out earlish but work break up saw us both a bit dusty, so stupid o'clock was replaced up early ...a great morning a bit sloppy and fishing was slow. VC nailed a good snap pushing 12lb whilst I sharked tangled sulked rerigged sharked etc ...VC jiouner (captain obvious)even reminded me as he hauled in another carrot that I had not caught anything takeable all morning ...such a nice wee chap!
Then captain obvious did what young blokes on boat do ...emptied VCs tucker box then sniffed out mine and politely didn't the same to that! So we hauled the hooklines to shark red cod China man ...argggg! Over to second line thump thump so after a couple of spikies we hauled in a beauty a very very respectable fish...in shallow for a bit of a try in a spot that fishes well at high tide ...small VC slayed a couple of pannies then VC did the same ...i on the other hand soaked baits ( exactly the same )not two meters away from these two barstards and caught bloody zip, zero , nada , nothing oh a bloody undersized cod ...ARGGGGH!
They took pity on me and we headed in, caught up with another boatie who had had similar luck to me..I felt his pain ...VC and mini VC were gentleman enough to share more than a feed of fish with me! Thanks guys for another great day!
I'm pissing off to Okiwi, where I can go freediving so aleast I can see the bloody fish! Great start to my Xmas break keep well everyone! Relax and enjoy!
Beautiful day on the coast.
Caught a couple of these fellas on the surf caster

Looks like fun kukuwai
Recently I hear Octopus is good eating quite often....but never first hand.
I have tried it once at a "restaurant" and my jaw muscles cramped up before I finished chewing the first and only mouthful it was that bad.
I know squid can be like butter or boot-leather depending on how it is treated so maybe octy the same?
You are never going to get melt-in-the-mouth octopus, so if that's your thing, pass them up, but after crayfish, they are my favourite eating thing to come out the ocean. Greek method. Cut guts out. Freeze and defrost. If you have anger management issues, beat on rock 100 times, otherwise, dip in to boiling water a few times, then put back in to water to simmer for 1.5 hours. After that, you can do what you like with it. My favourite is marinaded in red wine overnight, then coat in lemon juice, olive oil and salt before putting on to a hot barbie, preferably charcoal. Cook until blackened in a few spots and it's good to go.
Here is one especially for you VC

Got the opportunity to get out to the three kings last weekend. I had a massive headache for most of the day which made diving hard, but still managed a few good fish.
Water was cold and dirty by kings standards.
