[size 1]I have fished with Mike on a few occasions and watched him fish on some others. He will often anchor up when he locates a good school of fish, and I do the same. When jigging Bear Lake we often anchor in water well over 75 feet deep. I don't think fish care much one way or the other whether or not there is an anchor and rope in the water, and it sure makes it a lot easier to vertically jig with lighter jigs when the boat is not drifting or being moved around with the electric. Only problem is the occasional fish that decides to wrap itself around the anchor rope.[/size]
