Was cruising around the lake yesterday and found I spot I wanted to fish. After about 20 minutes decided to move. The boat wouldnt go anywhere and the trolling motor sounded like it was straining,thought the battery was just out of juice. Then it dawned on me....DUH... PULLING UP THE ANCHOR WOULD HELP!!!!  Geez I felt foolish!!!  Lesson Learned!!!

aaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahah.....been there, done that!! ;D ;D

i thought i finally had an excuse to get a new trolling motor too.

At least you put the drain plug in before you started !

My best friend and I were salmon fishing in the Columbia River, anchored in a hog line,,, we decided to move to another spot.

He was running the boat up the anchor line to pull the anchor loose with the boat, and wrapped the anchor rope around the props on both of his motors......  was he ever embarrassed.  I have never let him forget it either.  ;D.  Especially since he would not let me help, he was going to do it all by himself, no matter what..... so I always ask him, if he needs any help getting the anchor up.... ;D ;D ;D ;D
