Not grabbing... what do you suggest?

stevomac59 · 05-12-09, 03:03 PM

My current anchor setup is not working at all, it's been pretty windy lately, and I always drift at a fast speed, and all I worry about is not hitting trees/stumps rather than fishing...it's a real hastle

My question is, what type of anchor would you suggest. My boat is small, a pro guide v16 tracker.

thanks

Bigger anchor, and/or swap to one of these:

Remember to let out enough anchor line that the anchor turns over and digs into the bottom. If it's just sitting on the bottom, it's not doing much good.
