Today or next week ? weather looks a bit pants.

Happy Birthday, good excuse to have a day off tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Mick, give it some stick. "It's a lyric from a Chas and Dave song" couldn't resist, sad I know.

Thanks for posting, a good read and Grant Jones is someone we should reach out to. Worth an introduction letter to explain who we are.

You already did that and we were very impressed with the fillet cut. Rob kindly left some in the cooler, as good a meat as I have eaten, melted in the mouth and very lean.

Can do no problem.

It is a good move to switch to LED, much brighter and less energy. I had mine done, new fittings and new connections because there is always a clean up needed on the old wiring. I don't think any other changes are needed.

BTW it has 6mm chain with it, 6mtrs approx

Sorry it is a 7.5kg Bruce, it yours to try and foc.

Ok will do

Dale you work to quickly I have one spare, well truth be known I have several spares of different patterns. If you don't receive or send it back for any reason get in touch.

BTW always use a fishermans trip when connecting your Anchor, that is cable tie through the chain on the upper shank and at the hook end connect the chain with a shackle so the anchor can be pulled out backwards when the cable ties break under pressure. When dropping your anchor over roughish ground don't be hasty, it is as common to trap the piled up chain as it is the anchor, so lay out your chain with a little bit of engine reverse.

These Anchors (Danforth) are commonly used by the Rag and Stick brigade or the boat rammers as otherwise known (controversial) I have one I took off a boat I bought, I replace it with a Lewmar Delta Anchor which I quite like. Some Bruce are copies and look a little distant from original design but they do work. It is either of the two mentioned with possibly a wire anchor for rocks that can be pulled straight if stuck in. It is all about the right weight for boat size, plenty of chain normally equivalent to weight of the anchor. I would guess about 6kg would be good.

Ah yes and dont forget the venison tasters from Dale that were superb, especially the fillet cut that melted in the mouth.😁

Well done Rob good report and good to get JOJO back on the water.

I wonder if Brad would make a comment on a recording device to buy or avoid. i.e Go Pro or alike.

Did you weigh the undulate and log it on your species hunt, it looks like a double.

That undulate has beautiful markings, good dangling.

Happy Birthday Alun, assume your away having a nice time.

See reply on pm Sam

Well done for posting lets hope there is a space, have you seen my post re a charter trip would you be interested?

Neil I noticed you use Tapatalk, did you upgrade to pro and pay or put up with the slightly as reported lesser version. I only ask because lofty raised it in the committee meeting.
