Anchor, skeg type with flip chain. Needs to be a decent size for the new boat anchoring in the river.

(2) bumpers, 12"-18" long.

PM me.

Hey Toadster, BPS has some real neat flat bass boat bumpers for cheap, but buy your anchor locally so you don't have to pay for shipping. sometimes wally world has them cheap. but now is the time to check them out.The Ware store seems to have a better selection of fishing stuff. just a couple of thoughts. Good searching

Have you looked at slip ring, fluke type anchors? I've used them on local lakes for a couple of years now with no problems; can't see why they wouldn't work in the river? They are inexpensive, lite weight and easy to pull off if you get snagged.

That is basically what I'm looking for Cresty.....I guess I'm starting to lose some of the proper terminology from my time in the Coast Guard. Slip ring fluke anchor...that's the ticket! Thanks.

Now if I could only remember what I'm looking for.......

Now if I could only remember what I'm looking for....... Thumbsup Wally world in Chicopee has fluke anchors and bumpers, don't forget the 3 ft of chain and shackles to attach the anchor and keep it down...Grinning1 Fishing1

I have the larger fluke anchor from wally world along with a 10lb mushroom anchor on my boat. I have used the fluke anchor in the river a number of times and it works well. The trick is to have enough rope I have found you need about 3x the depth you are in to get it to grab right.

I know of two marinas in our area that carry slip-ring anchors - Brunelles & Action Marine. They are not all that expensive either. Also, don't forget to pick a length of chain for the anchor (that IS expensive!). Seems to set much faster and hold better when chained(?). I agree with noresman; you cannot anchor straight up & down with a fluke! Remember, these are light anchors - probably 8 lbs. for a 16' - 18' boat. But boy, do they work!
