Re: Anchor for 220BR
Lake Geneva has weeds and mud in some areas, and in other areas, I'm trying to hold on slight breaks/drop offs. But depending on the wind and location, I may have steep breaks that I probably shouldn't even try to anchor at. I have not had any trouble getting this anchor to hold when I anchor at th...

Re: Anchor for 220BR
Really appreciate the help folks. I may have tossed an anchor or two in my day :oops: But listen, even though I'm old I can learn new tricks! Since acquiring the 220 a few years ago, we usually drift out in the middle, and in my fishing boats, I always used the spotlock on my trolling motors (no anc...

Re: Anchor for 220BR
Thanks for the replies Bruce and Kate! I think I had almost 190’ of rope out with 3’ of chain at the anchor in 18 feet of water. Wind was whipping! Do you recommend the Fluke style or should I switch things up ? Kate - sounds like my technique is lacking. I have been giving it a light toss, and then...

Anchor for 220BR
I apologize if this has been asked and answered. I am having a heck of a time anchoring on LAKE GENEVA in wind! I’ve been using a fluke style anchor, with 3’ of chain, and a lot of line…. And still not grabbing. I know their are factors regarding weed bottom, mud and drop offs. But I need something ...

Re: Front Trolling Motor on a 220???
I don’t know if the ones that mount to the rear have “spot lock” for on the fly anchoring. That’s the main reason for the TM ….. that and me and my kid are fishermen :) As I see it, IF I decide to be stupid and do this, I’d lose that anchor/storage compartment up front. I’d need wood or aluminum bac...

You think a 60” shaft would be too short?

Front Trolling Motor on a 220???
My gut says this will get me flamed lol. But I have to ask. Has anyone jerry rigged it so a Minn Kota Terrova could be mounted to the front of a 220? Mine is an ‘05, I’ll spare everyone the details, but my wife wants me to look into it 😂 I have that front hatch up there. I just don’t know what I’d m...
