Ok, <br /><br />Wife and I were fishing last week, on Monday I think.<br />15 year old daughter was with us. <br />They were driving me crazy......
<br />I had to keep baiting their lines as they didnt want to touch the minnows....<br /><br />We found a spot we liked and I put out the anchor, we were in only 7 feet of water or so, about 150 feet from shore. The wind was pretty good, even with the anchor we were slowly drifting to shore. Anchor is a flute style on yellow poly-rope.<br /><br />After 10 minutes or so, I see a pontoon boat round the point that was 100 yards or more from us. There is like 3/4 mile of lake for this guy to go to but he comes our way. I'm on a 22 foot deckboat. Pontoon boat comes closer and I'm wondering how close is he gonna come. I see it's 2 older couples on the Pontoon.<br />He passes not to far from us, I wave , they wave, we all wave.....<br /><br />A few minutes later I see were getting really closer to shore. I think, "what the heck"<br />I got to re-set the anchor, and pull up nothing but yellow rope and see the end is shredded.<br />Pontoon boat ran over my anchor line.
<br /><br />He didnt come "that" close to us but the line was played out some from drifting. <br /><br />I went out on Wednesday to the spot to search for the rope, hopefully I could see it floating and pull up the anchor. It's only 7-9 feet of water. I searched for an hour or so, no such luck. Bought another anchor at Wally-World... 15 bucks and new anchor line.<br /><br />So.... has this happened to anyone else?
