Big “fish” on 2 mile reef

Not really a fish, but lost my 20 lb navy anchor on 2 mile out of Hunters on Friday. Has a blue 50 ft rope and GPAS bungee on it. If you’re fishing out there, careful for snags

Sorry for your loss.

Used to lose a few anchor each year until…

two words ” SPOT LOCK”. sorry for the loss of the anchor. I haven’t had one in the boat for 2 years.

Even with a kicker and a tm. Anchor is always present for safety reasons.

I fish almost exclusively on Ml, I don’t have to worry about being drawn down current into a lock and dam, but I get your point. I guess if 2 motors fail me it’s just meant to be.

Plus not everyone has $1500 to drop on a new trolling motor.

Spot lock is amazing!!! Until you get your line stuck in the prop catching a fish…ooooops. Only happened one time to me…

I would at least have an anchor in the boat. I think it might even be a requirement in MN? Not 100% sure on that though.

Spot lock is not the end all, be all in terms of “anchoring.” It doesn’t hold me in 3 footers or heavy current so I still use a standard anchor.

If you have the GPS location on it I may be talked into diving for it. I’ve got a buddy that has been asking for me to take him out.
