Welcome!

Kia ora and welcome to Savage Kiwi. Like many kiwis we take advantage of New Zealand’s fantastic outdoor recreation activities and along the way enjoy some amazing adventures. Our exploits are many and varied but more often than not involve some sort of fishing trip and regular extended trips into the bush. This blog is not only meant as a way of sharing our experiences but also as a way to catalogue them for our own personal enjoyment. So please take what you can from our posts and feel free to leave your thoughts.

Skin Diving - Makara


We nipped off to Makara to make the most of the flat seas yesterday afternoon.  

Tom headed out with his spear gun while I went in hunt of crayfish and jack stayed on shore with the fishing rod to try catch some kingi bait.  

After a slow start I saw a nice wee cray and after a bit of strategizing I wrenched him from his hole and into the chilly bin.  Turns out that was the only one I saw, serves me right for being lazy and diving so close to the beach.  Tom had mixed luck as well, after seeing lots of small moki he missed his opportunity at a big one and then saw a couple kingi's swimming away from him.  Luckily there were a few butters around and he speared a couple of them before he headed in to join us on shore.  When on shore we put a couple live baits out in search of kingfish, but it was to no avail so we were off home to cook up our small feast of sea-food.
