I've been wondering how to upgrade that area as well. I know what I'd like, but I can't afford is the i-pilot electric motor with a virtual anchor mode, but due to limited funds I'm stuck with the old fashion anchors and rope. Over the years I have found a need for two anchors, one front and one back to hold my boat in position. I put a big old spikey homemade 20 lber out on front then back away from it and throw out my other anchor 180 degrees from the first and tighten that rope so the two lines keep me from rotating and close to where I want to be. I have never tried the water sock type, I hear they can be good, but I can't help there. Also I typically anchor in 40 fow or less and I'd like to learn if it's possible to anchor in Bear Lake at say 80 fow to jig Mac. I see an add from Amazon this morning for 100' anchor ropes for $20 and was wondering if you could ever hold a boat so you could fish at those depths? Anyway it's a good question. Later J
