I Winter
Chasing Kingfish on the Spear in
t is generally accepted that the kingfish in NZ largely ‘disappear’ for the winter months. They typically head to an unknown destination to fatten up and count down the days until they can make an appearance on every pinnacle and hotspot in the country during summer. Wehad been wanting to go to the Mokes before the summer season ended, but with the constant easterlies we were faced with, it was June before a gap lined up for us to get out with some friends on our dive boat. The aim was to find some fat winter kingfish and blue water, as the inshore conditions were below average. From a spearfishing perspective, when you do find kingfish in winter, their curiosity seems to have waned and their behaviour is cagey (compared to summer when most kingfish are schooling and will attempt to rub noses with you). The challenge of fish keeping their distance and making you work harder to get in a position to shoot makes for stimulating diving and rewarding captures. In summer, just your presence in the right place at the right time is enough to guarantee an encounter, whereas in winter you have to get a little more creative with your approach. Afterjumping in at a few spots where the current wasn’t quite right and seeing a few kings down deep, heading off into the distance with no interest, we eventually got to a spot where the current was running along the edge of a drop-off, which concentrated the bait on a pressure point at the top of the drift. The visibility was 15-20m, and the bait was balling and darting erratically –a sure way to tell there were predators in theKoheru,area. for me, are the ticket to kingfish success. Find the fattest shoaling koheru and chances are there will be kingfish in the area. Getting them to show themselves is the challenge. A tactic we use is to dive in a pair and take turns shooting the koheru. We then leave them on the line for a short while, before retrieving them to ‘gut’ in the water. This creates a great berley trail, and if you don’t attract anything else after an hour or two, at least you will have some great koheru that has been gutted to take home for sashimi.

It wasn’t long before we saw some good-sized kingfish under the bait and, with a bit of cunning, we got one on the boat. I use a shorter gun clipped onto a belt reel on my weight belt to shoot the bait and let it dangle, while my bigger gun is loaded until an opportunity at a good fish arises. A short but super fat fish of just over 20kg was the first customer to land onboard. The other divers were soon on the spot, and at one point we had three kingfish on at the same time (which got pretty exciting!). One of the reel guns even got fully stripped before we were able to turn the fish. One by one everyone managed a fish of over 20kg, with the biggest going 25kg. The fish were all in great condition and had the most prime-conditioned fillets, with a healthy layer of Oncefat. everyone had a fish on board we headed off, as the weather was predicted to get up in the afternoon. We tucked in behind Little Barrier and fired up the COBB Grill for a lunch of crumbed kingfish burgers that were so fresh the fish may as well have swum into the buns. The way you deal with kingfish makes all the difference in eating quality. The reason you will occasionally hear some bad reviews of kingfish’s eating quality is completely down to incorrect care of the catch. Bleeding the fish as quickly as possible and cooling the meat down are the first priorities.
Once back at base, I remove the head and clean the gut cavity of the inner membrane and bloodline, drying it off with paper towels as I go. The fish should then be hung in a chiller or fridge by the tail for anything from 3-8 days, just like you would do with venison or any game animal. This process
We eventually found a spot where the bait was concentrated on a pressure point, with current running along a drop-off.

The06 fact that there are minimal sharks around in the colder months makes this technique more of a winter sport, as anyone who has berleyed up on a pinnacle in summer will know that it does not take long to attract the wrong customers. Long bottom times and throaty grunts can pique the fish’s curiosity, but nothing beats a bait fish struggling. This is definitely the best way to transmit a signal to the kingfish’s lateral line that there is food around.
Avoid leaving the fish sitting in juices in the chilly bin as the aim is to keep the fish as cool and dry as possible.

offsite 09 eliminates the moisture from the fish and ‘dry ages’ the fish, in a basic sense. The sashimi gets better every day. If you do this before freezing your fillets, they won’t have moisture in them, and once you defrost them, the quality of the fish is significantly better than if you just freeze straight from fresh. I’m looking forward to the next winter dive session and encourage anyone who thinks the kingfish disappear in the colder season to go try their spots – you never know when you will be rewarded!
“We tucked in behind Little Barrier and fired up the COBB Grill for a lunch of crumbed kingfish burgers...”
When you dry age kingfish, the sashimi gets better everyday.
For anyone looking to get out to some of the more remote fishing spots, we run charters out of Tairua and in the Hauraki Gulf, and specialise in spearfishing trips for small groups of divers.

offsite 11 BENNY GRIFFITHS
I met Benny at Kita Café in Morningside, central-ish Auckland. He wasn’t hard to recognise – Kina Construction merch was on full show and an unmistakable tradie-sized large flat white was already sitting in front of him. The introductions should have been brief (we were in the middle of a busy Tuesday), but we ended up chatting about fishing and our jobs and his karate black belt before I even opened my laptop. My first impression was that he is an incredibly nice guy, and that impression was bang on – he told me about his karate exploits as if it wasn’t a big deal (I wouldn’t be humble about this) and seemed just as interested in my life, despite me doing the interview. When I finally did get around to taking some notes, I asked him to start again from the beginning. As owner of Kina Construction, he had obviously done something right, so I was keen to hear how it all began for him as a tradie.
“I went to MAGs (Mount Albert Grammar), and I didn’t have any contacts to get into building. So, when I got my chance, I jumped at it. And it worked out real good. Right place, right time, and right attitude.”
“I was doing swimming instructing down at the pool and was doing some personal training at the gym, but got over it. You had to be real happy all the time,” he laughed. “My mate knew a guy, Pete, who was renovating his house in Ellerslie and needed help from a young fella, so I said yeah, I’ll do that.

“I kind of felt like I was ready. I wanted that next step in project managing, and I just wanted that extra push.”
Benny must have made a good impression, as he ended up doing two years of his apprenticeship up north in Te Ngaere Bay (near Matauri Bay) with Pete. Having grown up fishing with his Dad on the Manukau, he also made sure to make the most of the beachside living.“It was sort of like a building apprenticeship and a fishing apprenticeship. We’d knock off early on Fridays and go fishing and diving. I got my first cray up there. Pete was a really good diver. We were building the house, and two houses over I rented the local butcher’s house so I could walk home for smoko. It was right down on the beach, and me and a work mate flatted together.”Butthe north gave Benny more than just fishing and building experience; love was also on the cards. “When I was living up north,” Benny explained, not resisting a smile, “I was looking for something to do. I would go to Kerikeri once a week to get groceries, and I saw this advertisement for Spanish lessons. So, I started going every week to learn Spanish and I became good friends with Maria who did the lessons, and Roberto her partner.
offsite “We have a real good reno in Mt Albert and a couple in the pipeline.… It’s so rewarding working on these beautiful older houses made of timber and bringing them back to life.” With all things building ticked off, there was an area of conversation I was keen to revisit: his karate black belt. “I started Seido Karate at 13 with my old man,” Benny explained. “We graded every time together until we were both black belt. That was when I was about 20. I don’t do it much anymore but I will never forget that journey. I have just started Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) at Sorriso BJJ Club in Mt Eden, and I’m a white belt now. And I had an MMA fight last year.” “Wait, what?!” was my response to that final remark. “You had an MMA fight? How was it?” “It was good! I got a TKO finish at the end of the second round. My game plan was to do low kicks and work his front leg and it must have worked. I really enjoyed the grappling side of the MMA training, that is why I started at Sorriso after my fight. At the moment I’m training towards competing in my first BJJ tournament.”Iwasimpressed, and also shocked at how he manages to squeeze this training into his already busy family and work schedules. He confirmed that it’s busy.“Ido BJJ now three times a week in the mornings. and I come back home at 7:00am and take the kids to daycare, then a normal work day is split between on-site, meetings, in the office and on the road picking up materials. The balance is good at the moment with running the business because I can have that balance with the kids – I can take them to and from daycare. I have a good team of guys I can trust who take care of the mahi onsite and they smash it out too.” As if all the above is not enough, Benny spends what time he has left under the water with a speargun in hand.“My old man was into fishing,” he told me. “Our first boat was The Mighty Midget – a four and a half metre tinny. We went out fishing in the Manukau. I remember being in the front of the boat, and he was loving it, but I was freaking out coming up and down waves – we must have been close to the bar. We “A year later I saved up and went to Chile for their wedding. Me and my mate went up to the north of Chile to see the Atacama Desert, and I met my partner in the accommodation. She was from the UK, and ended up living in Aussie, so I’d see her about once a month. Then in 2014, she came to NZ to live.”I’mnot sure how many people have met their partners in a desert, but it seems to be a winning formula – the pair are now engaged and have two kids together (aged four and one). They now live in Auckland, which is where Benny came back to finish off his apprenticeship. With the paperwork ticked off, he worked as a qualified builder for five years before he thought it was time to go out on his own in 2017. “I kind of felt like I was ready. I wanted that next step in project managing, and I just wanted that extra push... I started off doing little jobs that no one else wanted to do. It was just me at the time with help from my partner Heidi, teaching me the book keeping side of it all. Then an opportunity came up to do a job in the Coromandel for my family. I got two apprentices on board and we lived and worked down there for six months to build a bach. “Work started coming in through word of mouth and we needed more guys to keep up. Now we have myself, a foreman, a builder and three apprentices who are almost qualified, and two boys who are fresh out of school learning and working their way off the broom.

We had a big night with the mates, and I was sleeping in my van. I got up early before anyone else and swam up off the point and managed to shoot a kingie. Then it was a 1.5km swim back, and I was worried about sharks, so I asked some guys who were pulling a cray pot to take me back in to shore. They said, ‘Yeah man,’ and took me back to the shallows. I ended up wading back to shore with a kingie on my back, and all the guys back at the house were stoked. That was the rst kingie I had shot.”Since then, Benny has ticked off plenty more trophy sh, including a blue n tuna this year on rod and reel –not bad for a business owner, dad, and martialWithartist.ourtime coming to an end, my nal question was the obvious one: “So, what’s“I’mnext?”pretty happy at where the business is at ay,” Benny replied. “We’ve got a good little crew. I want to keep getting local jobs and renos around Mt Albert and go from there. I also want to keep spending more time with the family, and I hope to get out shing more as well.” After everything he’s accomplished, I don’t doubt he will do all of the above, and more!

A18few hundred years ago, millions of kiwi flooded our forests. Despite their tendency to stay hidden, kiwi were unmissable and eventually became the unlikely symbol for an entire nation’s cultural identity. Now, the humble kiwi need our help. There are only 68,000 of them left in Aotearoa, and this number is declining by 2% every year.
One of these partners is The Forest Bridge Trust. They run a farm in Mataia, near the Kaipara Harbour, which has provided a pest-free environment for kiwi for over a decade. The Forest Bridge Trust’s long-term goal is to form what they have labelled the ‘Central Bridge’ – a predator-controlled corridor of land that connects two existing wildlife sanctuaries: Mataia Restoration project in the west, and
Rheem NZ was invited to Mataia recently to help with the Trust’s ongoing conservation efforts. Paul Watson was one of the six Rheem volunteers who headed out west and he only had positive things to say about their day on the “Thefarm. plan was to plant 3000 native shrubs and grasses on the day, and there were only 35 of us. We gave it a pretty good go!” Paul says. “The farm itself is a working farm, but it hosts kiwi, and I think they’ve increased the population from 60 to 100. “It was more around containing silt

OF PAIN
Rheem
For22 most of us, pain is something we try to avoid. So too is discomfort. However, in recent years I’ve come across a bunch of people who thrive on pushing themselves to the absolute limit, enduring a fair bit of suffering along the way. GODZone is one of the world’s toughest adventure races, born right here in New Zealand. For the last couple of events, I’ve been lucky enough to attend and capture the chaos on film.One of the craziest things about the race is that those competing don’t even know what they’re signing up for. Participants only get the course outline 12 hours before the start. 2022 marked 10 years of GODZone and the organisers decided to design a course tougher than ever before. It was a stunning calm day in early March as competitors, in teams of four, lined up on the Jackson’s Bay wharf. Ahead of them lay nine days of gruelling racing –710km from east coast to west coast, through some of the most rugged terrain in the region. The first day saw competitors paddle around an exposed headland in packrafts before packing them up and hiking into Lake Ellory for more paddling. Our film team followed them as best we could by boat and on foot. That first day, morale seemed high despite many taking more than 36 hours to complete the stage. However, it was the next stage that seemed to really break a lot of teams. Competitors had to carry their pack rafts on a 155km hike/paddle up the Cascade river and then over into the Pyke River before grinding up and over Park Pass in the Mt Aspiring National Park. They then had to descend into the Dart River and paddle down to Glenorchy. For this section of the race, teams were on their own, miles from any roads, let alone civilisation. We shot the action from the air, spending a day hanging out the side of Heliworks’ twin-engine squirrel. The terrain was savage, with huge elevation and hours of paddling down the painfully shallow Pyke, and there was no marked route. Teams had only a compass and a map to navigate, which saw many veering off course –some even circled back on themselves through thick bush. We spoke to one team who’d packed enough food for 36 hours to complete the stage. However, by the time they reached Glenorchy, they’d been on the go for over 65 hours. People started falling apart, with many deciding to pull the pin – only a third of the way through the course! In total, there were six heli-evacuations off “One of the craziest things about the race is that those competing don’t even know what they’re signing up for.”
stage three, including Richie McCaw’s team who pulled out after one of them developed an ear infection. What shocked me was the toll it was taking, even on people like Sam Manson, who constantly finds himself on the podium at the Coast to Coast Longest Day. Over the next three days, we followed the teams as they hiked, mountain biked and paddled their way down Lake Wakatipu, over the Eyre Mountains, then up and over the Nevis, which is this country’s highest public road (if you can call a severely rutted mud track a road). The country was spectacular and made for some epic shots. Every night we’d find ourselves either back at the hotel or at some pub in the middle of nowhere, sending footage to the TV news outlets and cutting videos together for the tens of thousands of people watching the race online.
Struan followed the teams as they hiked, mountain biked and paddled their way down Lake Wakatipu, over the Eyre Mountains, then up and over the Nevis –the country’s highest public road.
Throughout the race, we interviewed competitors about their reasons for doing such an insane race. Some simply wanted to prove to themselves that they could do it; others thrived off the remote country that they would otherwise never visit; while some couldn’t really come up with an answer.
Five days into the race and the end was nally in sight. The teams had survived the rugged west coast: forested lakes and glacial rivers, high alpine passes with tussock tops and steep gorges. Ahead of them lay the relatively tame trek and packraft down to Paerau, across the classic Central Otago landscape, then a 100km bike ride following the Taieri Gorge Railway train line to the nal stages. Once there, they had to paddle out to the Taieri river mouth and then hike up the beach to Brighton. When the teams nally started trickling over the nish line, there was a lot of emotion – tears of joy, disbelief that it really was over, and sleepdeprived glazed stares. There were hugs exchanged, beers drunk, and a lot of hot pies consumed (a GODZone tradition).Filming the race had been a logistical whirlwind, with some massive days and a huge amount of travel by road, water, and air, but for us, it was all worth it. The stories that come out of GODZone are truly exceptional –everyday people pushing themselves to the absolute limit and helping their teammates to achieve something many never thought possible. It’s what keeps me coming back to this event every year. To watch the 2022 GODZone race lm, scan the QR code below.

MAKINGTHEMOSTOFSPRINGWORKUPS
By Nick Jones
To find the workups, you must find the gannets. Through spring they feed in workups daily because the survival of their fledglings depends on it. It can be helpful to start your day close to a gannet colony so you can see which way the birds are going. Generally, you will find most birds heading in a similar direction and they will lead you to action sooner or later. If the birds are high in the air and circling that means they’ve found some bait or dolphins, whereas if they are flying low to the water –in a straight line – they have seen action and are using their precious energy to get there as quickly as possible. If they are flying in a winding path they may just be cruising and following them can lead to an eye-watering fuel bill!
PLANNING BEFORE YOUR TRIP
To make the most of your trip, you really need to consider the factors that influence whether the fish will be on the chew or not. Dolphins, gannets, and fish tend to be more active when the tide is running, and often you’ll find the fish feeding hard in the last hour or so before the slow period of inactivity over a tideThere’schange.also a general trend for workup activity to intensify in the days leading up to both the new and the full moon. But beware, the fishing can sometimes be horrendous right on the new or full moon – a mysterious wonder of the fishing world! Many anglers swear by ‘fishing calendars’ – most of which reflect the solunar calendar, which considers the moon’s position relative to the earth. In the Hauraki Gulf, the solunar ‘bite time’ begins two hours before low tide. But the most important thing is knowing where the action is happening. Spread out your feelers into your online, work, and personal connections, but always be wary of online reports that may be inflated or outdated!
FISHING TACTICS
Generally, if you’re fishing next to diving
Binoculars are a very useful tool for finding distant workups, and if you’re fortunate enough to have a bird radar on your vessel, well, you’re cheating! Once you’ve found some action and begun fishing, don’t ignore your surroundings as the birds can fly out of sight towards better action very quickly.
“Luckily, there are a few things you can do to maximise your precious time out there...”
Birds are your eyes in the sky when locating workups.

Chasing28 workups can often be an incredibly exciting and rewarding way to catch fish at this time of year. But, like many styles of fishing, it can also sometimes be an expensive and frustrating way to fish. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to maximise your precious time out there while chasing those gannets around.
Dolphins work in tandem with gannets and are a welcome sight. Similarly, bryde’s whales, of which around 50 seasonally reside in the Hauraki Gulf, are a tell-tale sign that you’re in the right area.

birds it will be hard not to hook-up! If you want to avoid the sometimes pesty kahawai and target better fish, then heavier lures can help target the bigger snapper and kingfish. Having a speedjig or livebait set ready to go can also make you the hero of the day if a school of kingfish suddenly turn up. However, if the workups aren’t intense then you might need to try a few different lures, colours, or actions to entice the fish. Personally, I prefer to use smaller lures when the fishing is slow, such as micro-jigs, small soft-
LOOKING AFTER THE RESOURCE It’s easy to get carried away when the workup shing is hot, but please consider that it’s not appropriate to practice catch and release for snapper from the standard workup depths of 3050m. This is due to barotrauma, which is caused by the change in pressure expanding the swim bladder of bottomdwelling sh to such a degree that it causes fatal damage to their internal organs. Catch the snapper that you want to take home, and then target king sh or cruise into a bay for a couple of refreshments. Cheers to that!
