[nautical prince]

Headed out for a couple of days of glass out conditions. Got four reds from 5 to 9Kgs witha mixed bag of reefies and 3 coral trout best one went 4kgs. Only drama i had was loosing a bloody sacra anchor worth $200 in the lagoon as the d shackle undid itself oh well thats fishin. All in All was a blast. ;D

We were camping in the lagoon over the Saturday night and on sunday morning we pulled the pick with 2 spanner crabs on the end. Maybee them 2 had undone your D-shackle?????????? :P

Bugger........
My young bloke had the same thing happen up at Rundle island one night. Hes bloody lucky the didnt end up on the rocks. They were all having a camp at the time. Now anchor doesnt go over the side unless shackles are cable tied.
It was only a pick anchor but stem was filled with lead.
Waiting for the pics.Bet there wasnt much room in the carpark down there australia Day week-end.
Were you in Fitzroy lagoon or Lady M?

Have you been happy with the SACRA anchor to date - forget about the loss - Will you get another one or something else?

Do you know a mate of mine Peppie he owns Alexanda the big Plate boat ? Yeah mate i met Peppi about 6 months ago out at his place and checked out alexanda. I met Barry and Frank the fishing machine as well, all great fellas. I took Frank out to the hards a month ago unfortunatly things were slow but i know how he got his name ;D Where bouts do you live??

[Dean1]

Yeah mate ill keep it in mind for sure. Im towing my boat up to 1770 next week for a sneaky trip. Got some work to do on my property up there so why not slip in a trip ;) Im thinking i mite leave my boat up there so see what happens. Tell Peppi I said g'day and he needs to get his boat wet again. I launch at baffle creek much easier for me. Cheers keep in touch, Deano.
