I BOUGHT A BOX ANCHOR FROM THIS GUY ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. HE TOOK $100

IF NOT, BOATERS WORLD IS BLOWING ANCHOR PACKAGES WITH A BOUY AND ROPE FOR LIKE $50 OR $60.


SETTING YOUR ANCHOR AT ECHO.....

CRUISE UP RIVER ABOUT 30 FEET OFF THE SHORE (ABOUT 15 FEET PASS THE GRASS IN THE WATER) AND GO ABOUT HALF WAY INTO THE CAMP SITE NEXT TO YOU, MAKE SURE IT IS CONNECTED AND GIVE HER A TOSS. PUT IT IN NUETRAL OR KILL THE ENGINGE. LET THE ANCHOR CATCH. HOOK UR ROPE TO THE BACK OF THE BOAT AND SWIM TO SHORE. PULL THE BOAT SO IT IS POINTING AT ABOUT 10-11 O'CLOCK ACROSS THE RIVER AND TIE IT UP.

WITH THAT BOX ANCHOR YOU'LL BE GOOD FOREVER, BUT WITH A REGULAR ANCHOR YOU MIGHT BE OUT THERE DOING IT AGAIN WHEN IT GETS CHOPPY AS HELL AROUND 1 PM.

GOOD LUCK 

The chain is as important as the anchor - I think it is 0ne foot for every five foot of boat.
