Look's like it's going to be windy for awhile where I'm at. I have a 1448 Grumman. When anchoring in the wind, I usually place the boat sideway's into the wind and drop a small mushroom anchor at the bow, and one of them small navy looking anchor's at the transom. They hold the boat great. Even in 25 MPH wind's. Problem is this shorten's the length of the boat exposed to the waves, giving me some severe rolling action. I've tried just using the bow anchor with the bow facing the wind, allowing the length of the boat to ride the waves. The bow pitches a bit, but the rear of the boat is fine for fishing. Problem with this is the transom blow's back and forth as much as 5 feet. Kinda hard to watch the fishing line.
Is there a way to anchor the boat into the wind and use a second anchor to stabilize the rear of the boat? Or do I just have'ta suck it up and keep fishing.
