Yea that will probably work. The one I have i found in my past grandfathers shed, it looks like a mushroom. But I'm assuming you can buy one anywhere marine items are sold. I'd try Walmart. 

thanks ill try it

Lol are you referring to the dumbbell ? He's not fishing a big windy lake. Honestly it's just a big pond. My 10-15 lb anchor does great. Like I said it will push you around but it won't drag you around in this scenario. I think the dumbbell could work with my raft. Depending on the bottom . Which im assuming is muck. So. It would definitely work .

not sure what you're getting at. I don't see anybody else chiming in. Except for someone with nothing better to do than clown off.

My initial response was in reference to the OP catching these fish and no having pictures. (A common way of saying "pics or it didn't happen)How you linked my post to your dumb bell anchor and raft story is beyond me. You may need a hug.

10lb is possible in a 6 acre pond for sure. I don't know monster crappie and  monster bass can happen in a 6 acre pond. Unless it's stocked with a forage package annually . Yea I need more than a hug.

You'll be okay.

How are you so sure?

First off, hugs are great since everyone wins. Second, yehjray, the main point is the OP is claiming he caught a bass and a crappie in the same 6 acre pond that were within 1 pound of the state record. He does not bring electronics, but still managed to weigh his fish. Hence why iabass's post is so important because I think we may actually know where big foot lives and it is near the 6 acre lake behind Christopher Robbins enchanted neighborhood. There are 10 pound donkeys named Eeyore, but most of all...I think we might find Winnie the Pooh. Something to think about.

 

But to add to this, I used inflatable rafts and found the best way to anchor was to bring a cooler and tie the rope anchor to the handle of the cooler. This is the best way in my opinion to anchor without tying a rope to the raft and causing potential problems.

Nice looking pond.

[VolFan]

A tube sock full of rocks with a rope tied to the middle or end makes a perfectly serviceable anchor for a one-person inflatable. The crappie probably either washed in, or was an accidental in the stocking as sometimes happens.  Crappie are big schoolers, so if there's one there should be multiple. They'll spawn on small flats with brush next to the creek channel in spring.

this whole thread is painful.

Whether it happened or not wasn't important to the questions I was asking. This spring Im going to try to re catch the crappie and ill get a pic this time.

I use a really old scale i got from my grandpa, its basically a spring scale with a tape measure on it. Thats also why i cant get exact readings, just around 10 or 3 or 5 lbs. But whether you believe me or not, its not necessarily relevant to the question.
