The problem is people dropping anchors straight down on the piles wood or plastic. That will tear up anything if anchors drag. Do not anchor straight down mark your spot then anchor up wind from the bow then let the wind drift you over the pile some distance then drop your back anchor then pull yourself up to the pile. You can adjust by tying onto one side of the boat or the other or by using front and back anchor ropes to get on exact spot. Okie crappie guys do this all the time. Very few use trolling motors to stay on pile like we do in Kansas.
