Hi all, I'm just looking for ideas...
I'm looking for something to use as a single anchor/mudweight for use with the smaller of the Sportyak boats. I'm not fishing from the boat at anchor, but just want something smallish but heavy that will hold me in position for placement of markers/weed dragging & then baiting up on a bream fishing session.
I have got a home made concrete mud weight that I've used before thats fine in a flat calm or a gentle breeze, but looking for something heavier that will hold me in position when theres a bit of a swell on (which there usually is where I'm fishing).
I've seen guys use the cast iron stallholder weights. I know they do 56lb weights but I think this maybe a bit too heavy. Any ideas if they do lesser weights & where do you get them from?
I've also thought of getting some old dumbell weights & lashing them together?
What do other people use?
Cheers, Steve.
