MLBMIKE- It is your lake too. Drop your anchor wherever you wish. It is kind to apologize but you did nothing wrong. Sounds like the anchor was the ticket. Fishermen perch fish among walleye fishermen quite often and it is ok. Think about it. You had undisturbed water under your boat that wasn't being run over by many many boats. Thanks for sharing that tip. Looks like I will be up on Mon/Tues and might try it.
