Re: Bigger anchor

Since the water is 2-3 feet deep....... is there a chance he could drop a mooring and attach to that every trip. If people are going to swim there they could attach it.

Re: Bigger anchor

If you have a soft bottom use a marsh pole. slamm it like a spear tie off and forget about it.

Re: Bigger anchor

Or you can use a 470 merc. motor, thats all it's good for, is a anchor.

Re: Bigger anchor

Well,...
Whether 'ol Scoop is still around or not doesn't worry me any, no offence Scoop If you're indeed still afloat, but I still like to read my frozen arsed snowed in boredom away with these answers, pretend I didn't notice the date and answer some of the newer equally erroneous but cool replies just the same.

What bothers me, is when I don't pay attention to the date and REPLY to a thread that old, the person that started it has to be revived at the old age home, to be made aware that some weirdo from Iboats wants to talk to him. :redface:

Nuff said
PH.

almost as much as i hate force outboards, which by the way also make excellent boat anchors and come in various sizes.

Re: Bigger anchor

I swear this fishermen's story is true.

I was working on a construction crew pouring cement, my buddy had bought a 14ft wooden drift boat and we were going steelhead fishing as soon this pour was over and the job was completed.

We didn?t have an anchor, but I did have a rubber boot that I had worn a hole in the sole of. So I took a piece of 1/2? re-bar bent it into a loop and put it inside the boot then poured the boot full of concrete, stopping 2? inches from the top. The anchor weight the best we could tell was about 15 pounds and the rubber boot protected the boat from the anchor banging against the hull.

The best part was the looks we got from our fellow fishermen. With a drift boat the anchor is hung off the transom using an anchor drop so that the boat can be positioned quickly as you drift into the chosen fishing hole. This being the case the boot dangled a foot off the transom, in plain sight for everyone to admirer. That boot was still hanging from the rear of that boat up to the day it was sold, many years later.

Love it! Using a cinder block now. I just threw away a pair of old rubber boots this summer.
