Thats a good idea there... Thanks.

We use 8-10lb mushroom anchors in the small boats on the smaller lakes around here quite often. More times than not I find them to be a pain, now that I'm. Used to a bigger boat with a better trolling motor/boat control system.
With that said we dont have fancy trolling motors our small boats, so a mushroom anchor keeps us on spot easier than working the old/small tiller style trolling motor.
