Today's yarn is all about spearfishing and bowhunting remote islands. For this one we called upon two of the shows great friends Lex O'Conner and Ash Currie.Both of these boys recently made the big move north with their families to the tip of Australia. Settling on the remote Thursday Island off the northern most point of Australia. This gave the boys and their families a chance to experience life at a slower place as well as take in some of the culture from some of the traditional owners who live on Thursday Island. We thought it would be a good chance to catch up with the boys and hear how things differ in general life, as well as on the hunting and spearfishing front.The boys provide some good insight into local weather patterns, tides, moon phases and other factors that influence wether it will be a bowhunting or spearfishing adventure.As usual we also share plenty of laughs as well as some stories of old trips we have shared together doing the things we love.This is their story.Like this episode?
