Saw an interesting idea in In-Fisherman
The new issue of In-Fisherman arrived yesterday and I was scanning an article about a guy who does deep water fishing for catfish. Something he does in some places where he has found large pockets of cats, is put out a permanent anchor to mark the spot. He'll tie a group of concrete blocks together and attach it to the appropriate length of braided rope, add a jug for a marker bouy and leave a long loop on the tag end to tie his boat to when he goes out to that spot. One advantage is that he doesn't spook the fish dropping anchor.
That's a new one on me - anyone try that? Seems like a good idea if you don't have GPS for finding your crappie trees. - Roberta
