I'm clear on the whole scope thing. I was just looking for the trick to get the get some scope on the stern anchor. With the old boat, it was always small enough to anchor in wading depth. With the new one I find myself doing more deep water anchoring.
I have a bunch of chain in the front anchor. I removed the chain front the stern anchor figuring I could get more distance on my throw. I like Aquadiziac's idea of backing past the spot, I'll try that next time. I'll also try putting the chain back on the stern anchor. If I don't have to throw it, the chain won't be a hindrance.
Airwaves, I've read about using a trip line. I've only lost one danforth in last fives years, so I'm a little lazy about doing it.
Thanks all
