    Anchoring advice needed for my Estuary

    Just be careful when the weather gets heavy. pulling anchor offers your side to the waves. I hunt with a dog and rarely slip anchor to chase cripples so it often gets rougher than I thought before I pull. Just be aware and careful

    I use the same setup as Dave . Make sure the line from the bow to the anchor ring is the same distance as the bow to the cleat where you access it ( secure it) from the cockpit. I use an old 72 bluebill for the float John
