[QUOTE="RUGER, post: 5344084, member: 275"] I just wasn't letting out enough rope when I put the anchor out. I have a makeshift anchor that is actually three rigs tied together. They are the pin and clevis that are used to hook small semi trailers together. Think they call them bob trucks? When I let out upwards of 50' of rope it has held good so far. When I say let the wind put the boat where it needs to be, basically I mean I just get upwind of where I want to be and then let the boat drift with the wind and when I get in the right "line" I will drop the anchor and then drift to where I want to sit and then tie the anchor off. Sometimes it takes a couple tries to get it just right before dropping the anchor. The wind still blows me side to side but I use that to my advantage too. I call it "the swing". I will drop my bait and don't reel or anything and just let the swing of the boat move my jig. I don't know if it's the action or the different angle it goes through at but they seem to love it.
