I anchor up when I find a school. I don't like to drift. Most of the time I can get a good bite with my 20lb. navy anchor but there are the times like Kent stated when there is a few factors that could work against you like wind. Most of the time my anchor will hold even with a good wind blowing and letting out a lot of rope helps. Controled jigg trolling with an electric motor can be a little tougher using 1/8oz. jiggs. When using 1/2oz. jiggs when up to bear lake controled electric jigg trolling works a lot better. Like UtBass said letting out extra rope to put you over the school is helpful plus gives you that extra bite with the anchor. I like the swing of the boat when the brezze changes direction, sometimes it will trigger a strike.
