NZ spearfishing help for Easter weekend
Hello,
I moved to New Zealand from southern California about three weeks ago and I'm going to be staying with some friends in Ohui. I have almost everything I need to spearfish, except a speargun. I have looked into purchasing one, but cant afford one just yet. I'm hoping someone in NZ can either let me borrow a spare or rent one to me. I live in the Auckland area near Mission Bay and will be leaving for the coromandel area on Thursday night. If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it. Please feel free to call me at 09 578 2475 or PM me. Thanks, Omar |

How was your trip? What did ya kill?
I was up the top of Coromandel for easter (a couple of hours up the coast from you) the swell was a bitch on the coast but we got out to the islands and did ok. Viz was about 15 metres at Cuvier Island and crappy at 5 at Great Barrier. |

Re: NZ spearfishing help for Easter weekend
The swell was a bitch. I ended up surfing at Whangamata.
Since then I have only been diving a few times. I picked up a really crappy speargun for cheap and have hit up Ohui & Slipper on a much better day, Tauranga bay and have been trying to figure out where to enter for Ti Point. I have dove Matherson bay, but it says its a reserve so I only dove. Kill count stands at; 1 Snapper 4 paua 1 John dory |
