[Caveman Jim]

How much was that anchor chain condom go for and where.

I have acquired enough for a few B-days gifts, when is yours Ed?

One problem with starting out with only 200' of rope, is trying to add the extra rope with the ball retrieval system fixed to the first 200' of rope.
You can tie on some extra rope (50'-75') but when the current is really ripping, the retrieval ball can be sucked down by the current.

I start with knowing the places I'll be anchoring, depth and flow then choose the appropriate length. I doesn't hurt to always use the longest length of rope to leave out the guessing because when your after fish you go on auto-pilot....

Well then, the next time I see you I'll bring your belated B-day gift.

In all my years dropping anchor in hog lines on the Columbia, I have seen every possible way for things to go wrong at the worst possible times.
When things happen, they happen fast, especially when setting out line when sturgeon fishing in fast water.

I agree that on the water stuff happens fast, like not watching what's going on out side the boat.
I saw a guy destroy his kicker when drifting the Cow and timing up a leader when he hit a submerged rock.
Always be aware of your surroundings, just like on land.
