| I anchor a bit while eye and panfishing. Not ever having anchored while sucker fishing, I would probably not anchor if the water was calm. If there is a breeze, I would start 50-100' upwind of where I wanted to fish, and drop anchor. Then feed out rope until I was over the spot, and tie off. I'd turn the motor to adjust where the boat is, creating a pendulum like effect. With 100' of rope out, you'll get the anchor rope up and away at a pretty good angle, and reduce you chance of the suckers fouling in the rope. As mentioned, tie a float or cushion to the end of the rope. When you get a strike, release the anchor, and let the boat float away. If in high wind or dangerous are, I'd probably want the big motor started at this point.
Hope this helps. | |
