Go to you tube & check out " Anchoring with the Alderney ring" video. I think this is what you mean as far as the float thing.

You are correct sir. I learned that trick on Long Island Sound fishing for blue fish in deep water. Hook that buoy ball or they call it a bag, to your anchor line with a D-ring or snap shackle that slides. While cleated, drive to either side slightly of the anchor rode as it trails along side and behind with the ball buoy attached. As you precede and pass where the anchor is on the bottom, the buoy slides down the line and it's buoyancy lifts the anchor off the bottom, ending up trailing behind together on the surface. Just pull it in. This is a old timer trick that lessens the effort of pulling an anchor in deep water to a fraction! Try it!!
I have launched boat as late as thanksgiving week and caught perch, so don't worry they are still hungry. They seem to move a little shallower as it gets colder, but don't hold me to that. (as in 50-55 ft vs 65)
Also CaptainJoe I put a chain on my anchor and noticed a significant difference. You probably already know this, but a longer rope is better holding power.
What are dock removal dates anyone have them ?
Great info. guys. :)
Thank you.
I need a bigger boat to Cary all this stuff .:eek:
Drove over rt20 bridge at 18 mile creek yesterday evening. Water looked good. Had good flow. And clear-ish. This rain shoulda brought fresh fish in and moved them upstream. I'm sure the catt got a good push as well.
Copo must be nice to start work half way thru the day !! I do more before 9 than you do all day lol
