Shallow water anchor

[Ljones]

AnY of you guy have your boat set with a shallow water anchor... I was kind of considering the new 15 ft minnkota talon just don't know if it would be worth the $2000 price tag

I saw a man at Grenada last year fishing bushes in shallow water that had a pole 8-10' long and he would pull up 20' and push the pole down beside his boat about midway. I think he had a loop on the side of his boat. He would fish up and down his boat and them pull up and do it again.

I borrowed a idea from another site.
¾" PVC, a tee, ¾" dowel rods.
Cut the PVC too length, insert dowel rods (they act as stiffeners), cut one end at a 45° angle. With PVC glue, glue both ends (to seal it), glue tee on opposite end of 45° cut.
You tie off to the tee, or have a bull ring tied to a cleat, and put the pole through it.
By sealing it, it will now float.
Works good as a push pole also.
¾" PVC fits perfectly in a transom mount, trolling motor mount.
Is it perfect? Nope. Has some flex to it. I have had mine keep me in place in 15mph breeze.
Fiberglass poles are better, their also more expensive.
Do a search for "shallow water anchors".
