Dropping Anchor In A Yak

[cyclops2]

I never do anything over my anchor position. Seems soo wrong. White toilet paper & brown bars floating around ?  Morning coffee at home is perfect.

MassBass did you see my set up it works very well and is perfect for an inflatable  .... 

How do you mount and secure that fixture?

The bottom piece glues to the boat and the top part is attached with four nots and bolts ,, Check out scotty.com ...Let me know if I can help you out

carlm, your inflatable looks alot more rigid and sturdy than my yak. I can't inflate it too rigid or my feet will not fit in it. I don't know how long I will be messing around with my inflatable. Im on my second boat under warantee. Im saving up for a hard kayak.

Yes it is pretty rigid , I have a partial floor in it and a swivel seat ,If you should decide not to do the kayak route check out the seaeagle 285 pro  FPB they're built well and are reasonably priced ...Good Luck

I fish from a kayak and I use a version of the Palmetto Kayak Fishing quick release anchor system (see the link).

What I like about it on the river is that I can deploy the anchor and not have my kayak connected to the anchor line yet. I can drop the anchor down with the float connected. Then after everything is squared away I can paddle back up to the float and then connect my kayak.
