I marked a couple fish, circled back and anchored. Just like you said "if you build it they will come principle". Thats a good way to put it. I noticed alot of fish where holding tight to the bottom, I would not see them come in suspended, the bottom line on the finder would thicken most of the time then I would get hits or the line would thicken then they would rise a little. A 20 pound navy anchor with 70' of rope out worked great for me yesterday, at first I only had about 50' out and I started to drift then I let out the rest of my rope and it held. The boat was still moving back and forth with the wind and it took a 3/8 oz. jig head to keep it vertical.
