Cfelton's post about Yes/No for the Bowrail - *prompted me to ask. * What technique does everyone use to anchor ?? * I personally havent anchored much in my boating life ... until a few years ago when I started Blackfishing. *What I've been doing *.. is climbing out onto the deck to drop the anchor, set it, and tie off to the center cleat. *When leaving, climb out again and pull up anchor onto deck. * Kinda a pain *!!! *.... and ....the bowrail was VERY handy a few times when it was lumpy out !! * Mighta gone over without it. * * *Is there a better method ?

Also, just thought I would mention. *My boat came with a neat anchor storage method, I think. * There is a back-to-back passenger seat. *Mid-way on the seat, the anchor (Danforth style) has a few small receptacles screwed to the gunnel ?? side. *The anchor base snugly seats into the bottom receptacle and the top of the bar into the top receptacle. *A stretchy cable at the top keeps it in place. *The anchor rope stows neatly under the seat thru a canvas opening in the seat base. * If the boat wasnt covered - *I'd snap a photo.

ps .... 2007 BPS Fishing catalog came in the mail today. Not sure which one I like seeing in the mail better - BPS or Victorias Secret :)
