Trevally have always stuck out to me as an extremely interesting fish. They are intelligent and powerful, flighty and perceptive. Over the past couple of years, I have grown an obsession, first contracting it in the coromandel.
Living in Auckland now the species available are more limited, thankfully there are Trev's around! More often than not I'm wondering where the Trev's are at, some of the places are surprising. This video will be covering multiple dives around the Auckland Area.

Some of the reasons why I love these fish are.
- they taste great
- they look great
- they are challenging to shoot
- they inspire me to dive better
- I literally have dreams about trevally sometimes
Of course, suitability is a key factor when it comes to spearfishing. Take good shots and avoid injuring fish, no misses, no loses in this video!
End commercial fishing, stop buying the product, encourage others to do the same. It is one of the most powerful things that you can do to support our oceans. The powers that be do not like listening to civilians, but money. Vote with your wallet, get these entities out of our moana so that it can rebuild.
Here is some information regarding the commercial catching of trevally:
fs.fish.govt.n...
www.mpi.govt.n...
In the wider Auckland area, this year alone, 1,455,735kg of trevally have been plundered by the fleets of death. Recreational catch represents only a fraction of the pressure, but still always conduct yourself with respect to the environment.
These fish mean a lot to me, and the mass slaughter of these creatures is heart breaking. Most ripped from our ocean and sent overseas to make more profit. We lose and the ocean loses, only greedy bastards are the profiteers of death.
There is no honor in using huge boats to drag giant nets. The methods of today are not the same as the persistent village fisherman, making a living the only way he knows how. What was once a wholesome and somewhat respectable line of work, globalization of the fish market has shifted the balance?
As New Zealanders we compete for fish with the global market. At a price point and in the water. The cost of buying fish is ridiculous given how many we catch in NZ, there is no point selling it to us if an overseas market will pay more, simple economics. The majority of fish caught in NZ are exported, we function like a port for fish. Unload and send off. The number of fish being caught in NZ could be fairly accurately predicted by the demand overseas, this demand influences the fish available in our OWN COUNRTY!!!
When looking at the price of sea food or the ocean and wondering why it's so quiet. Full credit is due to greed, globalization and government goblins who turn a blind eye. Sold to the highest bidder, your ocean, your freedom, your planet, everything that can be exploited will be, unless we wake up and realize that we have the power to achieve anything if we band together.
Ban commercial fishing, at the very least, let's stop exporting fish.
