The most interesting catch of the trip was pulled up with a snagged anchor. A large ball of line, weights and hooks attached to an old anchor line was pulled up. It appears that this line has been collecting snagged gear for quite some time at this popular spot. Most of the lead went back into our tackle boxes. This is also a good reminder that fishing line remains in our environment for a long time – recycle and/or dispose of properly as best you can.
