Clocks Ahead an hour tonight. A friendly reminder from Yoda ~ A-Jay

Nice Bass ~ PB's are Always a Blast Congrats A-Jay

Tires pressure & wheel alignment OK ? A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

Looks like a A-Jay

Congrats on the nice outing. I believe you might be confused however as to the potential productiveness of the early spring bass bite. It's usually very good. Though your profile doesn't indicate it, where you're fishing would be of interest to those in your local as well. You'd have really garnered some Big Time attention if your thread title was something to the effect of "Massive Cold Front Myth ~ Busted", and you had the same results. A-Jay

You'll be glad to did. Doesn't mean you can be crazy. Still don't horse & boat flip Toads. But you'll be better off than you were with the stockers. Those hooks have helped me catch some very respectable bass. Have fun & Stay Safe. A-Jay

That's not for me, Impressive though. On a couple of fronts. Btw, how much did they all weigh, collectively ? A-Jay

Practice in calm shallow water first. The set up & line handling takes some getting used to. A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ Unfortunately I'm quite a bit north of you and not able to supply the local knowledge you're looking for. However an enterprising angler might offer up a couple of ball game tickets, hot dog & a cold adult beverage in exchange for some hot & current info .. . Just saying Good Luck A-Jay

Success takes some knowledge about your craft & weather conditions, the right equipment & technique and some practice. The vast majority of time I only use one anchor and deal with the swing. When I have my wife with me and it's a little snotty, we'll go ahead and drop the second anchor. It keeps the boat from swinging around and depending on the spot & presentation that can help. I have a relatively heavy 16 ft canoe. I use a 10lb & a 15lb mushroom anchors both have 100 ft of 1/2 inch double braided nylon line for anchor line. Double braided line has two parts, an outer cover and an inner core. They are separate & not connected. I removed the core from the entire length; so I'm only using the cover. This makes the anchor line lighter (and Flat) and easier to store.(but still plenty strong) I keep it in mesh bags which helps it dry. Many of the lakes I fish are clear & deep. I'm often fishing spots that are 20 ft deep, but I'm anchoring in 40 or 50 ft. Hence the long anchor lines. You may not need that much line but 25 feet's not going to do it either. I'd plan on at least 75 ft anyway. Once I determine how I need to set up on a spot, (considering wind/wave direction) I'll start some distance away (down wind) and lower the first anchor off the stern to the bottom. Then while paying out that line I'll slowly head in the opposite direction (into the wind). I proceed PAST the spot I actually want to finally end up, continuing on to where the second anchor needs to be placed. Then, let that second anchor down off the bow to the bottom. Here's the fun part. Now I pull back on the first anchor line off the stern, while letting line out on the bow. This will set the stern anchor and move me away from the bow anchor. (wind should help here) Once I'm half way between both anchors I tie the off Bow /Stern respectively. If done correctly boat should be bow into wind & waves. Sounds like a big evolution and the first few times it is. The most common mistake is starting too close to where you want to end up which reduces your anchor lines scope causing one or both anchors to drag. You'll quickly learn to use the wind rather that fight it - you'll loose every time. It's easier to do with two people and harder with one, but doable. And it's all kinds of fun At Night ! If there's ANY wind & waves, I AWAYS anchor bow into the weather; never put the stern or the port/starboard side of the canoe into the wind & waves, always the bow. And here's the tip. During recovery, simply reverse the procedure and ALWAYS recover the stern anchor first. Clearly there's quite a commitment to a spot once you deicide to anchor up on it. One's desire to move to the next spot wanes quickly after 4 or 5 of these, especially alone. But the reward can be pretty good. BTW - I don't know how they know but hooked big bass all know right away where both your anchor lines are at and they WILL head right for them - every time. A-Jay
