- Learn how to safely and easily deploy and retrieve your anchor from the stern of your boat. This anchoring system uses the safest method of deploying and retrieving the anchor, line and chain from the safety and security of the stern of the vessel. You will learn what you need and how to use this system. If you anchor while fishing and don't have enough room to safely deploy or retrieve your anchor from the bow of your boat, watch this how to anchor video from www.halibutchronicles.com and www.squidlures.com
I had a 22' Starcraft Islander with a cabin that made it difficult to access the bow area, especially in a chop. So I used a simple version of bow deployment/stern retreival that worked like a charm, with no dragging of the anchor. All you need are 2 stern cleats and a boat hook. Oh, ditch the bucket and use a milk crate as it allows ventilation for the wet rode. I used 3 strand twisted nylon for my rode. Nice and stretchy. It is easiest to do the intial setup on land, but it can be done afloat.
Run the tag end of the rode thru a bow fitting and follow it aft to secure it to a stern cleat. The rode is not secured to the bow fitting, but rather, runs thru it. The bow fitting is basically a pivot point so that the boat will point into the wind/current as it should. Place the crate near the cleat and retrieve the rode, starting at the cleat end, simply dropping it into the bucket - no need to do anything fancy w/ the rode - just drop it into the crate. It will not tangle. When you get close to the anchor end of the rode, grab the anchor and run it astern along the gunwale adjacent to the other portion of rode. Drop the anchor into the crate on top of the rode and you are set to go.
Went you need to drop the hook, simply grab it and drop it (don't heave it) from the cockpit. your anchor is now deployed and you take the other section of rode and pay out as much as you need for the water depth you are in. Then secure that section of rode to the 2nd cleat and you are done. To retreive the anchor, start the motor and slowly pull forward at a slight angle (say, 20 degrees) to the deployed rode. The rode will be somewhat bouyant and you will see it. Grab it with the boat hook and then simply retreive the anchor by hand. Place the anchor on the cockpit deck and grab the rode attached to it, uncleat it and haul it in, dropping it into the crate. Place the anchor on top of the rode and be on your way. I used my boat a lot and used this method perhaps a 100 times with 0 problems.
Another fisherman told me he uses this kind of set up when he is out and alone. When it starts to get lumpy, you can pucker-up right fast when you're crawling around on the bow of a small boat. I came looking for an example of exactly this. Thanks for posting.
Same here.
I understand this was demonstration only. Main point was the rope from bow to stern with the ring,this makes good sense and I'll start doing it this way thanks!
One tip back is when you load the rope into the bucket; if you get a length of soil pipe and attach it to some ply so it stands proud in the middle of the bucket (like an upturned golf tee) then it's easy to coil the rope around.
I love how he lets the chain rub on his boat as he lower the anchor @ 0:57 in the video!
i have a 82 sea chaser 17 and this solved my anchoring questions. thank you for posting this. you just saved many hours of late night web searching for anchoring techniques!
This looks a very good safe way. 👍but my question is what if I don't want to release the full amount of my anchor rope. Will this still work ??? And if so how ???
maybe would be better if you used a braided loop or a thimble rope to attache to the quick disconnect, then no large messy knot to slide through ring in emergency etc,
Seems a bit counterintuitive to have this THICK nylon mega braid line and just have some cheap and thin polypropylene line at the end
Similar to how we anchor for Hali/bottom fishing (calmer days & slow current only!) except I use two of the 5” rings instead of the Anchorlift... less problems after time and no worries about if the line gets caught in it. Also, if my son/first mate EVER let the chain rub against the fibreglass on my Sea Legend like that, it’d be the LAST trip he ever went on!!!
Great video.
Say, if you only want to put out, say 100' this time, and say 160' next time, how do you do that with this setup?
When you are retrieving the anchor I think you were advancing too fast. If the anchor was lodged int rocks it would have spun you around, brought you to a “screeching” halt, and thrown you all overboard or worse, slammed you against the gunwale? Other than that, I think your system is brilliant and will use it as my Arima has no safe way to climb on the bow in rough seas and I often fish solo. Thanks for the video! But… I hope you address the retrieval issue.
Nice calm day, so what about a 6 inch chop? You think that chain slapped the boat, wait till you are rocking and those pointy things on that heavy thing bounce off the shiny thing.
Talk about messing up your gel coat. Holy crap!
what an experienced deck hand! let that chain destroy your boat finish. how embarrassing
🤔
Looks like an interesting system. I've been looking for a way to anchor from the wheel house, cause it's not safe to climb onto the bow of my boat. Correct me if I'm wrong but with this system, you will always have to throw out your entire anchor rode?
There are many novices on UA-cam. For safety education, you should mention the reason you shouldn't anchor directly at the stern is that doing so can sink the boat if the slack gets taken up suddenly by a wave, wind, etc. (Boat movement can pull the stern underwater.) Unfortunately, boaters have died because of it.
U make that retrieval look like he'd work Wouldn't you motor back towards your now floating anchor and pull in slack line. Just a thought. Dan
Gotta say I do agree with you I am a novice and up until watching this video I just could not grasp how the lazy line system works. I thought oh well just drop it off the stern and tie it off on the cleat oh how lucky I was not to try it, I hear it's the biggest cause of small boats sinking each year
The system is fine, but I would walk up front and tie it off before retrieving. If you are retrieving and your anchor gets stuck, the rope will stretch a ton. Then, when you let off the gas or take a wave to the stern, the stretch in the line can whip the boat backwards and swamp it.
Great solution. Needless bottom destruction
For our next video: how to repair your boat’s gel coat.
How do you pull the anchor back up once the slip ring is at the bow (assuming you have to stand at the stern)?
NICE! Can this system be EFFECITVELY scaled up for larger boats/yachts? 🤔Ex: 52 ft, sailing yacht? ⛵
New Subscriber Here! 😃👋
Where do you sell anchor salvage items?
What is this anchoring method called with the rope running from the bow to stern? Thx for the video
Stinkim_ wes I have a similar setup on my kayak, I call it an anchor trolley.
Nice video , giv a lot of good info .
Thank you for the video, very thorough and informative. Question, how many feet of line do you let out if fishing 300 ft. of water? I don't have 900 ft. as some have recommended.
Lisa Harris - 3 to 1 in calm water, 4 to 1 in moderate/normal water, and up to 6 or 7 to 1 in very rough/harsh waters.
So, for 300' of water, you'd want:
Calm water/flat water - 900' of line
Moderate water/average waves - 1200'
Harsh/Very Rough Stormy seas - 1800'
Also make sure not to cheap out on line. If you get stranded, engine troubles, or outdrive issues out in the water, anchoring down is crucial in many instances. Make sure your line is tough enough for your boats loaded weight (overall weight, plus gear, plus fuel and passengers) PLUS 25%. You'll never have an anchoring or rhode issue as long as you follow these guidelines.
Most guys go out with a 5 to 1 amount of Rhode (If 300' is the max depth you're wanting to anchor in, then get 1500' of anchor rhode to attach to a chain that's the same length as your boat.) These are the actual proper numbers with no shortcuts. But, I doubt you'll ever need to go 7 to 1 or really even 5 to one. That's usually reserved for much larger boats fishing in ridiculously heavy seas.
Those are the guidelines, but I don't know of any small boat operator that packs around 1500-1800' of high dollar rhode. I would guess the average for 300' is 500-600' and if it doesn't stick you go home.
Everyone needs to remember, the recommended lengths apply to anchoring and leaving your boat or going to sleep. This is fishing. If you drag a little on anchor it’s usually no big deal unless anchoring close to other boats etc. here’s what I suggest. Depth plus 1/3 plus the length of your boat in chain. Here’s the math. If anchoring in 300 feet you would deploy 400 feet of rode. I carry 600 feet enabling me to anchor in just over 400 feet.
Why have the line so long? Why were you dragging the anchor so much? What are you doing???
John: Thank you for this informative video. One question, isn't the floating line the "weak link" in this system? Breaking strength of the poly rope isn't very much, doesn't it matter?
It sure does matter, this tackle is just for lunch on a calm day, why not use the anchor from the purpose designed bow roller and keep that floating line for attachment to a lifering, that is what it is for, not for anchoring fgs
Jo Allan the whole point is to be able to deploy and retrieve the anchor from the rear deck!
Do you always put the same amount of line out?
Pat Clements the amount of line is determined by the depth you're anchoring in.
3:1 if in flat calm waters
5:1 if in moderate waves/chop/etc
7:1 if in extremely violent waters/seas
Ie- If you want to anchor at 100'.
In calm waters - 300' of line
In rougher waters - 500' of line
If extremely rough waters - 700' of line
StrikeForce K9 with this system, the amount of line will always be the same as ring is right on the end of the rope.
You have an anchor roller and a windless on the bow. Why are you doing this silly?
chain rattling on th fiberglass wont do it much good, and the rope was tangled up in the bucket . i would much rather anchor from the bow. you know a remote for the windlass is not much
So that you can retrieve the anchor without having to climb on the bow, which can be dangerous in rough conditions or if you are on your own.
Yawn how to over complicate things
Talk about a cluster
You must have a "FAIR LEADER" for anchor.
Not need for this system at all with the dinky anchor. This is absurd.
We anchor in 100 plus feet. This anchor combined with the chain weighs more than 50 pounds. Pulling by hand is not easy and not a good option.
