It’s impossible to catch bedding fish if your boat is drifting all over the place. A trolling motor helps, but anglers have to be very careful not to wash the targeted fish.
That’s why Craig Graham uses multiple anchors.
“Whether you use Power Poles or traditional anchors, the more you use the better you can control your boat,” he said.
His boat is rigged with two Power Poles mounted on the transom and an additional anchor system in the bow.
The front anchor is in the form of a Stick It Pin, which is basically like a Cajun anchor. The difference is that a bracket through with the Pin slides can be mounted to the boat, and once the anchor is set, the bracket can be tightened to hold the boat firmly in place.
“I got tired of the front of my boat moving around,”
Graham said.
