I run a Lowe Stinger 17 which is a nice wide aluminum bass boat. Unfortunately everything that makes this boat great also makes the wind and tidal current push it around. For lake fishing I installed a Minn Kota electric anchor which is great if you want to stop and retie while sitting in deep water but not good if you want to park next to a dock in shallow water. I am looking at installing a Venom Lures Done Right anchor pole system on my trolling motor. I already purchased a Dig In pole and intend to make a bracket for use in the rear. Has anyone used the Done Right system they look pretty nice. You can see them at http://www.venomlures.com/venom_down_right.htm Here is a picture of one.
