Anyone use an anchor system with a bungee?

Good info. Everyone here is so friendly

I will purchase more chain and see if I can gitter done correctly. If I still have issues, I will use that new chain on a different anchor (box or similar).

I will report back for sure! Thanks again everyone!!

I've had okay results with my fluke in the past. I had 10' of chain on a 15lb fluke anchor for our 242. Most times, it held pretty well, as long as I had 2x to 3x the rode out as the depth we were anchored in. Last year, Labor Day weekend, the fluke held too well, and I lost it. Just got a new anch...

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...

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...

Would something like this work? (really appreciate the help )

Yes … ALL that rope by hand lol!! Sometimes by me but mostly by my son

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...

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 ...

Go buy a Bayliner. Lol
Ok I'mdone.

Wow . Still having trouble expressing yourself I see lol!!!!

I thought everyone was pretty nice!!

But I'm off it now. No way to do it without making a mess out of my boat!

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...
