Hi all,
My dad was out fishing deep water in the boat just off Anglesey when something started to pull the anchor about. It pulled quite slowly at first but then started to pull the boat under when it reached the end of the rope!! He threw the anchor overboard but is still bemused as to what it was. Ideas anybody?? |

You don't say how deep he was fishing or how big the boat was but if he was fishing a long anchor line in a small tub he may have got caught by a loose drifting net accross his anchor rope - the extra drag could have had that effect. The mention of a sub is also a vague (very vague) possibility, the RN have a lot of smaller deisel electric subs for shallow water work - he might want to check with the coastgaurd as they might be aware of a local problem.
It could also have been the drag from his own anchor rope if the line was really deep in a particularly strong tide. |
