Lost Anchor - Diver(s) wanted

 I was out last night off Carnac, not a great night. Could see plenty of snapper on the sounder but only got 3 undersize, released well. Unfortunately although I anchored in sand (I think) when I went to pick up my Sarca anchor it was a no go. Spent about 45 minutes trying from all angles but could only get the anchor rope up to around my 25 metre mark and that was straight up and down. I figure the rope or chain is wrapped around something down there as the water depth is a touch over 13 metres.

Anyhow to cut a long story short I had to cut off the rope and I now need a diver or two for safety to go down and release it for retrieval. There is a slab of your favourite amber fluid in it. I can take you out anytime. Give me a yell if you can help. Cheers.

The water near Carnac was soup yesterday with that pumping swell. If you don't have any joy by next Friday....I could dive Friday arvo and we can then find those bigger snapper! Can find a buddy aswell, but more then capable of solo. Squire Hop Thief is my drinking buddy!

Cheers Pete

Hey Guardy, if you're keen to get it before Friday, I'm available at various times between this afternoon and Thrusday morning.  The weather isn't looking the greatest during that period though!  I'll PM you my number, so feel free to give me a call to discuss if you like.  Otherwise, looks like Pete's got the job.

 

Cheers,

Alex

 Many thanks Pete for the assistance. Also for the handy hints on the sounder.

Just a pity the fish weren't biting like we hoped. Better luck next time. Cheers.

Any excuse for a dive Guardy!

Yeah she wasn't going to come up at all without getting wet.

Hopefully the Pinkies will happen soon. Nice night all the same.

Cheers Pete
