Forget the Bruce anchor they are way too expensive. The horizen claw in the eleven pound size is forty dollars. If you catch them on sale you can get them for thirty dollars. It will be the best money you have ever spent. I used to battle those fluke anchors until I was turned on these.

Here is how we do it and it works pretty well. First we have a bouy with just enough rope on it to reach the bottom. We have a smaller bouy attached to the main bouy with about five feet of light rope. When we find the fish on the bottom machine we throw the bouy system overboard. Then we drive a couple hundred feet from the two bouys and allign the bow of the boat with the bouys and drop the anchor. The smaller bouy is used to determine witch way the current is going and when the bow and two bouys are in line you drift perfectly back over the hole you are trying to fish. Hope this is not to confusing and helps. Good Luck.
