I’ve used rocks for anchors. Recently 🤣

Most of the waters we fish have large open areas with submerged weed beds. Run up wind, then drift back thru is common for us. If the wind doesn't play along I'll set the trolling motor is slowly move us thru, all the while fan casting around the boat. This can be deadly on an overcast day. This is how I caught my PB.

I've owned it almost a year, and I'm still too overly enamored with my new-fangled propellerized boat control d-vice to not let technology take proverbial wheel whilst I concentrate more on fishing and less on controlling the boat. Back before I had my fancy new d-vice, I remember that if I hadn't been fishing for a while, the boat control aspect took a bit of time to get back to where I could 'walk and chew gum at the same time' so to speak.
