Question about anchoring
« on: May 29, 2010, 10:12:32 PM »
How much rode will I need to let out when anchoring over either the Sea Girt or Axel Carlson reefs? Thinking of targeting sea bass tomorrow.

Thanks

Poorly worded question, I know I need minimum 3x depth. I guess what I am asking is how deep is the water at those reefs? I haven't fished either one before.

Thanks

Are you using a wreck anchor or a regular anchor?

you should have at least 300ft for those inshore reefs and the bigger question is how much CHAIN ya got thats what will keep your anchor down for a quick set i personally like 20ft
