About 20 some years ago I bought an anchor from Bass Pro called the crab anchor. It was a neat 28 pound anchor. I put it in my boat and went to Ten Mile lake with my wifes cousin. He was an old Navy guy and said he would show me a knot that was full proof to stay tied. You guessed it, he threw the anchor out and all we had left was the rope. $30.00 back then for and anchor was a lot. After that I just took a pc of shaft from the mill and welded spikes on it and you don't ever loose thise old ugly things, but they don't cost anything. Qwa
Hey BB,
Have you tried freshwater fishing instead??? LOL
On the sticks drifting down the Sandy.. Cast out to side drift a slot.. didn't get the rod in the holder well.. snagged a rock.. pole in river before I could catch it...
Flash forward a month.. A post on ifish of a found rod and reel.. turned out to be mine.. cleaned up fine and is safely in my garage as a backup...
fishing from a boat in michigan for pre-spawn large mouths. Three of us in a little john boat. I set my rod down to assist netting our 20th bass of the day and as i'm doing this my friend cast his rod to the other side of the boat. In doing so he snagged my rod on the back cast and threw it over his head into the drink. We watched it going down as the bubbles came up. His quick instinct was to peal off as many clothes as possible and dive into the 55 degree water. After surfacing from a frigid dive he climbed back into the boat with no rod. "sorry dude i tried but just didn't find it down there." he than reeled in his line which was still out in the water. Much to his suprise, "guys i gotta fish, wait no..." my rod and reel were still hooked to his line. Needless to say we boated the bass and the rod. Unfortunately the water soak friend had to cut our day short. All in all it was an awesome day.
