I love your video, and I see some of the plants on the riverbank that you held earlier, similar to the water plants in my village, in the tropics. And we used to cook it and buy it in the market.
Hey mate almost every river,creek and small stream have these in them. If you look under rocks in the water or the weeds growing off the bank like in this video you'll be sure to find some. hope this helps you
That is a bueatiful little creek you are at. It reminds me of when I was like 18 years old. There is a spring that comes out of the ground really high in the mountains and flows about fifty or so miles, all the way to the desert floor near where I live. It is crystal clear water and has pockets of deep pools between ten and twenty feet deep all along the creek. Me and my buddies used to put mask and snorkel and dive down at night with flash lights and gloves and just pluck craw fish off the bottom and off the sides and put them in a floating basket. We would get a couple hundred in about an hour or so and they were about twice as big as the ones in this video. We would boil them up and dip the tails in butter, talk about a treat in an inhospitable desert landscape. I live in Phx. Arizona. Thx. for the video, I really enjoyed watching this and remembering past times. Thumbs up and God Bless
skyym3 thank you for the comment the place you were describing sounds truly awesome I could picture it as I was reading your comment. sounded like a true adventure thanks for sharing that.
Hey bro you should have a crack at making a little Cray pot and leaving it out over night that's how I get big ones, the south island crays nippers are a lot bigger too
hey mate started to make one up out of chicken netting haha but we just had the last 4 days of rain so wont get back out after the crays until the rivers clear up again. could do it with muddy water but wont make a very good vid doing that but ye cheers for the comment bro it'll be interesting to see how this little cray pot goes
You can only eat watercress raw at certain times of the year, its too peppery otherwise! But also that stuff looks old, it needs to be trampled down and it will come away again.
We’re are you cray fishing because me and my mate we go looking for crabs up in his farm we breed them then eat them so it will be awesome if I knew were u are
sweet video, beautiful countryside...i'll have to use this technique when I go fishing and get some free live bait lol, i didn't kno there were so many under the bank weeds like that
Good vid mate. I must say those are pretty small. I find that catching them in really small creeks and streams is best. I always find a shallow spot with lots of rocks and some current. The current allows any dirt to flow away so you can see if there are any crays and quickly grab them. Caught 50 the other day in the local small creek using this method. Another good trick is to set balls of string with a peice of meat in the middle. Leave it for a while and they will get their claws stuck in it trying to grab the meat. Only problem with this is that the eels sometimes come and eat the stuck crays. Awesome vid
Cheers for the comment mate glad you enjoyed the vid.. You make a good point with catching them in smaller creeks, I used to catch a lot of them and far bigger ones in small streams a couple of years ago but ye as it turns out the day I decided to film catching them there were only these small ones haha.. cheers again mate
Na they were pretty small we usually get way bigger ones there but was thinking maybe the season had something to do with the lack of bigger one's but can't be sure.. will go back in summer and see if it's any different, generally would be letting those ones go but they were the biggest there at the time..
Yeah its the season , warmer time of year is way better . Have tried trapping them when Ive been out duck shooting - its totally hopeless . Nice to see the stream fenced off from stock .
I'm pretty sure you spooked a small eel at 8:19, unless I'm mistaken you can see its tail disappear under the bank on the righ of the screen, anybody else?
Well,it looks like you don't know the basics of where crayfish usually stays. Crayfish doesn't like fast moving water.Look in a calmer waters of the river.
Hey mate I've managed to make a little one based on the ocean cray pot design so once we get some nice weather around here I'll be heading out to test it out. I'll upload the video of that when it happens so should be interesting.. thanks for the comment
Are water moccasins a thing in new zealand? because the place where you were catching the crayfish seemed like a hotbed for that species of snake and it was making me so anxious
Hey thankfully here in New Zealand we have no snakes or Real predators in the wild that can harm us, The only thing we have to worry about when going outdoors are the mosquito's and the odd white tail spider haha so ye we are pretty lucky over here really, hope you enjoyed the vid though.
You can eat it raw but shouldn't. Shitty water. Roundup, tourists crapping, dairy cows crapping. .. parasites etc. Grow your own in clean source, and blanch it at least before eating cuzzie. Boiling loses a lotta good, Chur for the Moira lesson . X
kiwi Adventure time alguds bro haha cheers for expanding my knowledge on these crawlies I'm gonna do exactly what you have done haha geta mean feed on chur kuzzie
+kiwi Adventure time good vid bruh I'm Fijian living in Auckland and I've caught them at night with a torch around lake taupo u pull the kikuyu grass on banks of streams and they under there too..or use a small craypot..I've also caught them in west Auckland..mean koura mean
Hey Rasta Tree cool to hear you enjoyed the vid bro.. once the rivers clear up around here i'm going to give the cray pot method a go, I've never used one before so it will be interesting for me to see how well they work..
Boiling crawdaddy's might offend someone? It's amazing how small these are in New Zealand compared to massive one's in Australia. Needs cocktail sauce.

Hey thanks for your comment I had always wondered if it grew in other country's as well. That's really cool thanks..
Handi zufaro i eat that too

Thanks brother. Great video. My kids and I just watched it and we loved it!
Hey glad to here you enjoyed the video mate thanks for the comment.

Allot of crayfish but not a lot of big ones
Excellent video! Made me hungry just watching
haha cheers glad you enjoyed the vid
chur bro brought heaps of memories off been a kid. used to catch them for dad and the uncles. the interwebs needs moe vids like this.
Ye mate I hear ya, It was good to get back out and catch a few it brought back a lot of memories for myself as well.. thanks for the comment bro
Nice vid bro. Growing up in Rotorua we'd cook them in a ngawha (small natural hot water pool).
A big one? Boy that is not big that's a baby Crawfish.
Hey bro you should have a crack at making a little Cray pot and leaving it out over night that's how I get big ones, the south island crays nippers are a lot bigger too

We’re are you cray fishing because me and my mate we go looking for crabs up in his farm we breed them then eat them so it will be awesome if I knew were u are
We don’t look under weed we look under rocks😜
this is real cool but those are babys
The man bro keen to get out for a few kaura now keep it up
that's the way bro cheers for the comment
Brisket is the best!
good video man
cheers mate thanks
sweet video, beautiful countryside...i'll have to use this technique when I go fishing and get some free live bait lol, i didn't kno there were so many under the bank weeds like that
Hahaha yep its an easy way to catch that little bit of bait when ya need it in a hurry haha.. cheers for the comment mate
Nice vid keep doing what u do
Hey thanks for the comment :-)
I like your video....

Same with me I always find it harder to catch them in a river
Nice video bro
Hey bro was that just the camera or were the ones you kept tiny ? at my grandparents place in Taumarunui we catch them way bigger
Na they were pretty small we usually get way bigger ones there but was thinking maybe the season had something to do with the lack of bigger one's but can't be sure.. will go back in summer and see if it's any different, generally would be letting those ones go but they were the biggest there at the time..
Yeah its the season , warmer time of year is way better . Have tried trapping them when Ive been out duck shooting - its totally hopeless .
Nice to see the stream fenced off from stock .
No seasoning??
Watching this has made up my mind about moving over there damn I miss NZ
In Australia our cray fish are humongous we’d call ur crayfish yabbies but yabbies have bigger claws
I'm pretty sure you spooked a small eel at 8:19, unless I'm mistaken you can see its tail disappear under the bank on the righ of the screen, anybody else?
Not sure mate good spotting if I did though..
Well,it looks like you don't know the basics of where crayfish usually stays. Crayfish doesn't like fast moving water.Look in a calmer waters of the river.
epic vid man keep it up !
Hey thanks for the comment glad you liked it..
beautiful
Hey mate you should look into investing in a trap which you can leave over night.
Hey mate I've managed to make a little one based on the ocean cray pot design so once we get some nice weather around here I'll be heading out to test it out. I'll upload the video of that when it happens so should be interesting.. thanks for the comment
You can use a hole lot of bracken fern and tie it up in a bundle and leave it over night
nice video, I never knew there were fresh water crayfish in NZ when I was in NZ.
You should try it at night with a spotlight and a net. the way to go for the freshies
Awesome video bro.i have to get out and catch some one night
cheers mate all a bit of fun ay
talk a bit louder or get closer to the mic.
those are baby crayfish ... why dont you set a trap that way you can keep the adults and release the young ones ....
