Today's yarn comes live from the Kayuga Adventures Bowhunters course. We had the pleasure of partaking in the 7 day course on the beautiful Strathburn Station Cape York Queensland.

Matt Moore (Owner Kayuga Adventures), Brad Smith and Ian Summers put together a master class week of instruction that we will never forget. The combination of archery and bowhunting knowledge of these three men is something unrivalled in this country and across the world. 

Kayuga Adventures bowhunting courses run over a 7 day period and cover an extensive range of instructional lectures and live hunts including: 

• Bow tuning
• Arrow composition
• Individual archery coaching 
• Shot placement
• Autopsies of critters
• Bush craft
• Finding food sources 
• Bedding locations
• Stalking
• Tracking and loads more

At the completion of each days activities, we sat down as a group and recorded a recap of the days events, learnings and funny moments to bring you an insight into arguably the most comprehensive bowhunting course in the world.

Matty, Dani, Ian and Brad treated us all with great respect and provided exceptional hospitality over the 7 days.

We shared some amazing memories, took down some great critters and enjoyed more than our share of laughs with the odd beer or 10 each night.

This is a multi part series coming to you in the coming weeks.

We will remember the amazing week at Kayuga Adventures for a very long time.

This is their story.

Today’s yarn is all about finding the elusive Jewfish (Mulloway) and targeting them on the spear. 

For this one we called in passionate Spearo, Bowhunter and Outdoorsman Brodie Thorn. Brodie has spent his life surfing and spearfishing the beautiful Mid North Coast of NSW. 

He shares plenty of his tips, tricks and successful hunting techniques that have seen him land some incredible sized Jewfish. 

Here at the show we have a fascination with Jewfish and we love to watch these amazing creatures in their element at any opportunity. We will take any opportunity to learn from those that have cracked the code in finding these iconic fish. 

Brodie is a super chilled out ocean lover and it was a pleasure sitting down with him to record this episode. 

This is his story.

Today’s yarn is all about not being a Kook when starting out in spearfishing.  Who better to guide us through the subject than the man himself,  The KOOK SPEARO.

The Kookman takes us through plenty of handy tips on things to remember when starting out in the water, as well as some sound safety advice on surviving each and every dive. 
Topics include:
•Being a good boatie.
•How to pack for a trip on someone else’s vessel.
•What gear to run as a noob, speargun selection and why.
•Being a good dive buddy.

During recording it didn't take long to realise that the Kook Spearo is anything but a Kook.  We had a great time getting to know him and look forward to catching up with him for a dive next time we head south on a mission. 

This is his story.

We are joined by Dave from East Coast Bowhunting (brains behind the Big 4 Bounty) as Julz shares the stories of how he took down each critter to take out the title and plenty of tips and advice for those out there looking at improving their bowhunting skills.

Today’s yarn is with 3x Spearfishing World Recold holder Erin McGinty. Erin has spent the best part of her life on, in or learning about the ocean including a PhD in Marine Science Genetics and MC <24m and MED vessel qualifications. 

Erin has travelled extensively throughout Australia, working in some of the most remote communities in the country giving instruction to Traditional Owners on the commercial boating front as well as skippering vessels for extended research expeditions. 

All this time she spent years underwater honing her craft as one of the most capable Spearo’s in the country. With 3x World and 10x Australian Records to her name, Erin has bagged some of the most impressive fish there is.

We had a great time catching up with Erin who shared plenty of wisdom on finding fish, bluewater techniques, breath hold and provided sound advice for the next generation of female Spearo’s starting out or improving in the sport. 

Erin has a passion for the ocean and a drive  for adventure that is infectious to be around. 

We look forward to learning a few lessons from her out on a dive real soon. 

This is her story.
