After pondering your situation for about 3.25 seconds I feel I may have the answer.
CLUE NO.1 At the opening of your report you suggested that your trip started badly due to your anchor becoming snagged on a very solid object.
CLUE NO.2 Birds circling on high but no sign of bait schools.
CLUE NO.3 Water depth of 2.5 to 3.5 metres.
After much deliberation
and a toilet break I believe that the source of your anchor problem was the plug to this particular waterway. The birds could detect the potential feast if you could just remove the plug by pulling the anchor rope thus freeing the water to flow down the drain and leave hundreds of stranded fish on a riverbed for the circling birds to pick off at random.
What you witnessed were birds singing pull Jeffo pul, pull Jeffo pull You panicked at this moment thinking that voice from my teenage years is back to haunt me. You took matters into your own hands as you did many many years ago and you reached out for the one thing you could depend on :roll: no not your willy :? Ya bloody SX40.
Good on ya mate :wink:
