I've found that I can't anchor anywhere in these Central Florida lakes. They are just too deep for my 8' Power-Pole. I researched ways to extend it, but only found one option and it was $150. I spent around $20 for parts at Lowes and this is what I came up with. It works great and was super easy.

I made a Youtube video to show how I did it. I hope someone finds this useful!
