Anchor

[notstock4long]

I ended up going with a Richter anchor. I was thinking about a digger, but found this one first. It is much smaller than it looks; less than 12" in diameter, and maybe 10" tall, but it holds well. I have the 18lb version. I bought this on mainly because it would fit in my anchor locker.

I just ordered a digger.
After kind of forgetting about, and struggling with about 10 lbs of thick seaweed pulling up the anchor, I came back to this thread and ordered one. Definitely looks like it will store easier.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.

What is the best anchor for a dammed lake (think lake Cumberland) when floating in a cove? Mushroom anchor?

With our sand and mud/weed Lake Erie bottoms, we use a plastic coated fluke for fresh water. Bigger one will fit (barely) in our bow anchor locker. Smaller one stores in breathable bag located near engine hatch.

We like the plastic coated ones as they do not mark up our interior storage.

Can you even reach the bottom there? Lol what kind of bottom do they have. I like my digger. I only use my 15lbs mushroom when I'm beached in 3feet of water and it doesn't hold much in the sand but I'm next to it all day then.

A fluke style anchor will get caught. Thinking table rock lake/Norris/etc. more as you float in a cove in 65 feet of water. Can u use anything to slow your float without getting caught by trees etc on the bottom.

I read this in a spooky voice.

I fish rivers in the winter, Steelhead, always use chunks of chain for anchor, 16-24"lengths, they don't snag

Took me a second to get this one:

I was just looking at the box anchor, it looks amazing. But at 21” long I feared it would not fit in the anchor locker of my CS22. Then I saw this post and see you found an anchor that does fit in the CS22 locker. How is the performance?

I have the 18lb Richter for my 21' and it holds well. 18 lbs was overkill, but that's why I got it in the first place. Pitch it over and you're pretty much hooked up, set it and forget it. Sand and rocky bottom for me.

I bought one of these last summer. Holds my 220 in mud and rocky bottoms. Easy to retrieve; pull or drive over the top and pull straight up. Fits in the anchor locker with chain and 100 ft of rope.

This is what was included with my boat. Fits nicely in the front of the CS22.
Not sure about the performance, as I have not used it yet. I will let you know next weekend when I try it out though.

What was included? I ended up buying the 25lb version of the Richter Anchor. Works awesome based off my one test. Ha!

The dealership included the 18 lb Richter Anchor.
