Episode 95: Boomer Anchors

This week we are joined by Duncan Webster, the man behind this innovative product. Duncan designed the anchor after being frustrated at losing anchors when getting them stuck on reefy bottom while fishing the Queensland coast where he lives. The anchor has a breakaway system, meaning when the anchor is stuck, extra motor pressure will collapse the anchor via a shear pin, releasing it from the reef; it can then have a new shear pin inserted and can be used again straight away! We have a great chat with Duncan about how the idea came about, the different steps in improving the anchor and growing the business and also chat about his own fishing!

We also have a big announcement, we have launched the first All The Gear But No Idea T Shirts, which are available for pre order and will be in stock early in the new year. There is also a few days left in the November Surf Fishing Photo comp wo get your last entries in for that to try and win a great prize pack thanks to Savage Tackle.

As always, we also have all the news in SA Fishing, including:

  • RecFish SA have released there annual report.
  • A solution of sorts for the planned West Beach Ramp closure over Summer.
  • Habitat modules for local reservoirs to support Cod breeding. 
  • A helicopter rescue following a boat tipping in the South East.
  • O Sullies Boat ramp opening event this weekend.
  • PIRSA Fines for illegal fishing.
  • Another upcoming RecFish Kids event.
  • Carp dying in the Torrens.
  • Stocking of Murray Cod at Warren Reservoir, 

Plus we have all the fishing reports around the state including Kingfish madness at Port Augusta and Point Lowly, while our tackle item of the week is the Anglers Almanac which has been a staple of all fishing boat for decades.
