First time I had my toon out was on a Pocono Lake, I hadn't even thought about an anchor, just wanted to get out there, after a few minutes of mindless circling I proceeded to fish some lily pads, after 2 casts I had line wrapped around the entire pontoon craft, around the oars and around myself, turning in circles and bitching like a sailor. Now I have an anchor and a little peace of mind, I still stay in on windy days though. It's still a crapshoot keeping position, it's not like standing in a boat where you can just turn your body 180 degrees, love it though, I feel one with the water, love the workout from rowing. And I even caught some fish that first time out.
