When you fish the ICW in NE Florida, you move around alot from spot
to spot, and might drop and raise your anchor 50 times in a day.

Another reason I don't fish ;-)


It's great fun...you get to raise and lower a trolling motor, too.


Harry,
It is hard to imagine how you raised and lowered your motor 50 times
when you went out fishing. You were never away from your computer
longer than 1 hr.


In an eight hour fishing trip, he raised and lowered his anchor about every
9.6 minutes. Now, if it only took a minute to lower and set, and a minute
to raise, that left 7.6 minutes for fishing at that location. Personally, I
think it would be too damn hectic a way to fish!
