[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 463742, member: 15636"] Typically one adds chain to the anchor of a length at least as long as the boat. The weight also helps the anchor set and stay set by its ‘catenary action’. [i]Disregard the ‘chum’ bucket deployed of the rode ... it was the only picture I had handy.[/i] However, when flounder fishing from an anchored boat, I do zip-tie a can of cheap tuna cat food to the anchor chain and poke a few holes in it using an old fashioned can opener. That makes a ‘chum slick’ that trails below the boat. [/QUOTE]
