Understand but the OP is fishing out of a 14' Jon boat on small bodies of water.

Exactly ? I didn't suggest 1/2" because of break strength. The same goes for braided rope over twisted...it's about comfort. Some of y'all laugh when I suggest only 25' of rope. If a 17-20# Tri-fluke anchor with 25' of rope doesn't hold a jon boat ya might wanna get off the water.

Are we talking marsh bass or river bass? Tidal waters here means brackish water.

IDK ? Pre-spawn to post spawn is at least 4 months.

What I've noticed on this site & YouTube channels the "title" will read pre-spawn/spawn but the content is more about spawn. Even though pre-spawn & spawn are part of the same "process" they fish totally different. I divide pre-spawn in to 3 categories. Early pre-spawn, individual or groups begin making short reconnaissance trips into "shallow" water. Only when conditions stabilize for a couple days will any appreciable number of bass remain there long. Mid pre-spawn, night temperatures or at or above the water's surface temperature. Now we are no longer loosing water temperatures gained during the daytime. The entire water column is warming up! This is when we see large fluctuations in fish movement. Late pre-spawn, females are staging 1 or 2 breaklines off the nest waiting for conditions to get right.

Sauce Piquant ?

When I started doing this everything on Toledo Bend started clicking.

I use a 20# tri-fluted river anchor & 25' of rope for my 1652 Alweld ?
