Members twoarkies Posted March 7, 2013 Members Posted March 7, 2013 Hey guys, the old mushroom anchor that I used in the Arkansas Delta ain't working too well here at table rock. What would you guys suggest for a 22 foot pontoon?---Thanks Ben
Members 2 in a boat Posted March 7, 2013 Members Posted March 7, 2013 Ummmm,,,, a bigger anchor?? JK I like the variation on the Danforth with the ring that slips down to the head. You can hook a rock and stay a 40' boat in 40 mph wind. Then you can drive back over and reverse the direction of the ring and almost always unhang them. Almost always
Members 2 in a boat Posted March 7, 2013 Members Posted March 7, 2013 here's a link, not sure on the link policy on here. Mine's not that fancy, but works well. http://www.basspro.com/Tie-Down-Engineering-Hooker-Quik-Set-Anchor/product/18091/?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.basspro.com%2FTie-Down-Engineering-Hooker-Quik-Set-Anchor%2Fproduct%2F18091%2F
Members 2 in a boat Posted March 7, 2013 Members Posted March 7, 2013 Also, just a suggestion do what you want, the thing about the rock is one hour you want to anchor in 8 fow and the next hour in 180 fow. I have my anchor rope in about 50' sections looped on the end and attach them as length requires with carabina hooks Nothing like fighting 300' of anchor rope in 8 fow, pain in the &%*$ and a good way to take a dip in the drink.
Members trytofish Posted March 7, 2013 Members Posted March 7, 2013 i used a "digger" anchor. kinda expensive, but works real well and easy release
