Spike It
By Capt. Dave Lear
Shallow water anchor systems hold craft quietly in place for better casting opportunities.
In shallow inshore depths where noise and pressure waves can alert wary fish, the ability to hold the boat’s position quietly is paramount. Dropping a conventional anchor overboard is impractical and time-consuming. A push pole or manual pin is difficult to use in hard sand or shell. Hydraulic or electric/mechanical shallow water anchor systems are viable alternatives however.
