Awful deep thinking there.
I see what you are saying but I also know without a doubt I'm not going to hell because I said I hate wind.

Agree. Probably too deep, but I meant no harm and certainly not to you personally Ruger. I do hope the wind eases up for both our sakes. I do enjoy reading your posts Ruger. My apologies.

I sit at home and wait for better days. And wait and wait and wait, TN has not been good to me yet!
Hate to say it but this time of the year, get used to it.
I have fished in some terrible wind and caught tons of crappie. I had a place on Sardis Lake in Mississippi for over 20 years.
In the spring you can count on getting wet and catching fish and if you wait for the wind to stop blowing, you can spend lots of time watching Maury Povitch and Oprah. I remember one trip where I took two guys from Missouri out to a spot because their 16 foot boat was too small for the waves. 15-20 mph constant dead out of the south. The three of us fished for 3 hours with my bilge pump running non stop because the waves were breaking over the front of the boat. We wound up with three limits in three hours out at Buzzards Roost, then had to cross the lake to get back to the ramp at Wyatt's Crossing.
I'm still friends with those guys today. LoL
My only issue with the wind is in the last ten years I've developed Dry Eye Syndrome and the wind absolutely kills my eyes. I can fish in the wind but I pay for it later.

That's the truth right there if it has ever been said.
I have a feeling I am gonna talk myself into going tomorrow.
I dread it though.

50 lb anchor
I haven't put a tape on it, but I believe it is 10" x 5" x 6" tall after just looking at it yesterday. I have plastic tote I kept it in.
Your boat does not move much after it is dropped. I have another cylinder that was a little bigger I carried in a 5 gallon bucket, I added #6 shot
til it weighed 45 lbs.
The 50 lb works the best and easier to handle since it has a "handle".

Picture of me from using a 50 pound anchor for years. Had two quit because my shirts were too small...
