Stansbury and the Bottom End








So we arrived in Stansbury Friday night and pulled up to Mitchy's house once he had got home. Really nice house with our own beds and a hot shower something we hadn't seen for a couple of months and were pretty keen to test out. We arrived to a cooked dinner which we were both frothing on as Macca's had started to wear off. Next morning/afternoon once Mitch had stuffed around for what seemed like two hours we headed down the bottom end for a surf. We ended up surfing a pretty fun right and seen a couple of classic ways to use a cliff one was Mitchy slipping off trying to get into the surf and the other was an old bloke actually i wont say what he was doing but ill let you guess. That night was a get together at the Goody's house which was a big barbecue and beers and wine mine and Ben's favourite. Next afternoon back to the bottom end for a surf this time at a left which was fun as it was only us guy's out. On the Monday Mitchy scored the day off so we headed back down to Marion to launch the boat and try get some Bluefin tuna. Even though the wind was pretty strong we headed out and hooked into four only landing three but we all got one and a bit bigger than Cactus. The next five or so days were windy and rain which had us thanking we were in a house and not out in a tent. The next Saturday came round so we headed down the bottom end to stay a few nights and try get some waves. Surfed the Sunday and Monday which were both pretty fun waves then on the Tuesday Ben and I took the boat out to try find some tuna but there was no bird action so we just jigged and got some Swallowtail and Skippy and that. That night we went for a hunt and got some roo for the freezer. Next day was my birthday so we decided to put the tub back in and go to wedge to chase some Bluefin tuna. There were heaps of bust up's and birds everywhere and we ended up landing about fifteen. Then back to Stansbury for a meal at the pub and a bottle of Captain Morgan. Next day was a slow pack up then headed to Adelaide for the weekend. Have to say a big thanks to Marty, Linda, Mitch and Tayla for putting up with us and letting us stay at your house and cooking us dinner pretty much every night it was great and we cant thank you enough. Also to the rest of the Family and Friends you made our stay really enjoyable.
