    Need An Anchor

    Dumb question. Got a 18’ center console. Fish some lakes but mostly the upper and lower Potomac. Got a small anchor but it won’t hold the boat when waters moving pretty good. Any suggestions as to what weigh and style anchor will work for me? Thanx in advance Blue Dawg

    Flat bottom vs tunnel

    I fish mainly in the upper Potomac. Rocky bottom. Other than there the Susquehanna river but confine myself to deeper water. Had a small Evinrude 48/35 jet, sucked the gas and really didn't give me the performance. Conversely, I had a 30hp Honda prop which ran great but I knocked the skeg off...

    Flat bottom vs tunnel

    Gonna buy a new to me tin. I go into skinny water but rarely under 12-18”. Am I better getting a flat bottom with a jet or a tunnel and use a prop with a jack plate? Trying to get the most bang for my buck. Thanks in advance for your comments. Blue Dawg
