I am wondering how you guys set up your anchor to hold your boat if you do not have one of those anchor spots ?
Here is what I was thinking about doing
:blah:
Get about 15 feet of chain and about 15 feet of rope and a big red fender to hold the bow and a smaller anchor and about the same set up to hold the stern , it will not move I think, is that too over kill and I do not want to get in the way of others, weighted line will keep it down when we are out playing, but since we will have to launch down the road a few miles, will want to get on and off the boat through the day, have no idea how it is done on a river, I did pay close attention to how others were doing it every-time we were there in the last 2 months, some guys setups were worthless and their boats were washing ashore, just want to set up a good way while at home, I have a garage full of ocean anchor stuff, and I am sure a heavy Bow anchor will be a good thing. I really do not want to come down and find by boat splashing in the little waves , I would be bummed Any suggestions would be appreciated We were thinking of setting up anchor over past the bar/kinda swimming pool area, seems less waves and less boats and the current seems offset to a degree ?
Thank you in advance !:thumbsup
I am just trying to figure all this stuff out before we are there, I know the best made plans usually have more problems than just doing things on the fly, but the more I ask, the more I may learn , or may just be a royal pain in the :smackbum:
