I am looking for the best way to drop an anchor from the back of the boat. It's kind of small to be moving up front when I'm out by myself. Any suggestions would be appriciated.

Then again, I almost never anchor. If I'm fishing I'm moving. And if I'm not fishing I'm on shore.
depending on the bottom your anchoring to,,,,my 12 footer I tend to anchor from the stern,,,as that's where I'm sittin and I'm fat and lazy. but,, a mushroom anchor handles most bottoms in no current, and a small fluke type for rivers and current both are cheap new, and stupid cheeeep if you find them at fleamarkets or yardsales. that nice pulley gadget would be good mounted up front,,,you don't need a winch unless you did something way wrong. just a handy cleat to belay your anchor road too . we aren't dealing with that much poundage.bassguytom said:I am looking for the best way to drop an anchor from the back of the boat.
