Impressive double cray grab by Wellington spearfisher. Here's how it's done.

Came across some really great Cray country while on a dive on Wellington's south coast. Found these crayfish under a boulder, just siting on the sand.Doesn't get much better than that! Vis would have been 7m and the depth would have been around 8-10m

head off on an epic solo road trip to explore some new coastline of New Zealand for Spearfishing. I am greeted with incredible conditions with flat calm seas and clear, blue water. I find a very fishy piece of coast and manage to spear some huge Snapper, one close to the magic 20-pound mark and spear a nice big Yellowtail Kingfish along with some tasty other species such as John Dory!
