Perch 9/18

Well, how'd everyone do today ? I caught 1 Yellow. Had anchor/boat issues.

Rookie Perch fisher, veteran Perch eater !

With our 30 foot Sportcrafts we have 4-6 feet of chain on the anchor and I rarely have hook issues unless is very rocky and rough. In mud with 3-4 feet wave it digs right in. Some people dont use the right type of line and its important to get line that stretches plenty for the shock of the pull from wind and wave.

I do not have a section of chain. Makes perfect sense though. Also someone mentioned to use more line so anchor lays sideways more.
Like I said.... Rookie here.

I fished about the middle point between PIB, M. Bass, and Rattlesnake. Was just drifting too fast.
