well, i made a donation to the lake... my anchor, chain, and about 10 feet of rope
fished saturday morning then took the family tubing in the afternoon. after tubing for a while, they wanted to anchor up and do some swimming. so, i anchored up off the south end of welch. then came time to head back to the ramp so i went to pull up the anchor and it wouldn't budge. i tried everything i could think of but that sucker just wouldn't move. even tried to pull it loose with the boat in the opposite direction but no luck. must have gotten lodged under a rock. so after a good while messing with it, i had to cut the line. a new anchor, chain and rope is being delivered today.
