Stuie Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 We arrived at the ledge just before 10 am and drifted a while looking unsuccessfully for mackerel. (Alun later told me we were too far out) Dropped the hook and found a few bits and pieces before the tide changed and allowed us to put some groundbait down. Straight away we were into one or two good bream - including one of 3lbs. Bites petered out and we started to lift the hook. It was stuck fast, with the anchor rope appearing to be directly under the bow. Cabin Boy's expertise came to the fore and the rope came free after motoring to the side. The anchor was still stuck however but a repeat performance saw the anchor trip. Phew!!! Leaving the anchor down while the tide changed had allowed the rope to snag the reef. We motored back to the patch where we again found one or two good bream after groundbaiting. Another great day afloat and more valuable experience in the memory banks.
