Ollie Craig - Primal Pursuit

2 жыл бұрын

In this Primal Pursuit Adventure, I head off in my IRB Spearfishing & Freediving for some fresh fish. I aim to shoot some butterfish and make them into some burgers for dinner and get lucky, gathering some nice Crayfish and Spear two big surprise species!
Later on, I do a fillet session and make some of my tasty homemade fish burgers!
Living From The Ocean Catch & cook!

Hi Ollie, I’m the guy who sent a comment a week ago, and requested a map. A general map as we agreed that fishing spot are to be kept secret. Then I remembered, I also follow some hunters and what they do , is show an “example” map to explain a situation while hunting. Thank you for the adventures Chris.

Hi Legend, First of all , Thank you for the adventures. I know you might hold on to your “secret spots” as fishermen do , but would you be able to include a wide angled area on a map , before your dives. I’m from UK so no worries there , but it’ll be nice to see which part of your world you are sharing with us. Also , is there a minimum size for Crayfish where you are. Everything crustaceans we catch here , have to be measured , checked for legal size. Thank you once again. Chris.
