Subject: RE: anchor or trolling motor to hold position

if you run a tiller - use it.
minkota's Powerdrive pedals always fail - I went through a few before I got a copilot for my new boat and included the soon to be useless brand new pedal that came with my boat with the old boat when sold.
If you use an anchor - attach a boat cushion to the rope and untie it from the boat when you get a big fish - boat drifts away from anchor and you then go back to get your anchor when the battle is done. I also like using a transom trolling motor with a bow mount. If one fails - your still good to go. Also you don't have to turn the head 180 degrees evey time you want to go in or out.
