Hey, Mike- this is exactly what I was looking for. Picked up my new Montauk yesterday, but I’ve been away from boats for 25 years. It’s amazing what escapes the old memory, but having your additional steps is a big improvement over how I used to do it. Much obliged, sir.
👍🙏Thank you sir!! 🙏 💝 😔Daddy died and I had no idea how to do this!! Daddy always had the answers to my questions and I could always count on him to help. I feel like can do this! RIP Daddy. 🙏 Thank you for helping us daddy less daughters out here!! 🤗💞🤗
Nice way to secure a rope/chain to an anchor. I am surprised that I didn't think of the zip tie/rope trick. I use the zip ties to connect the pin to the clevis, kinda like a safety wire. Additionally I use loctite on the clevis pin threads.
While I’m not a fishing guy, I’m new to boating and your vid is perfect for me to learn about how to tie the anchor. Thanks for posting. 👍🏼🇨🇦 cheers eh!
You should really use the breakaway and attach it to the bottom securely. And run the chain to the top and attach with a zip tie. Comes in clutch to remove a stick anchor with lout loosing your anchor.
I did read the shackle at the anchor should be the other way around so the screw pin goes through the chain not the anchor as it puts less stress on the shackle pin when the anchor moves around and less likely to come loose.
Very good, just what I was looking for. A captain friend also uses zip ties but he puts it through the hole in the pin of the shackle so the pin cannot come out, which is how I lost my anchor. Thx again
Wow awesome !!! My anchor is only 20 lb and I want to add more weight to it to keep me still on my bass boat what is the best way to add more weight to the anchor.
I drill a hole in the crown and attach the chain there with a shackle, then run the chain down the shank and attach the chain with a 100lb stainless steel zip tie. Should the anchor hang I can use the boat to break the zip tie at the shank and pull the anchor out from the rear by the crown.
Thanks for this video,needed it lol. Lost the same exact anchor year before and almost lost the new one last year and we know how much they cost lol. Think of investing in the breakaway wreck anchors but the price is killing me man lol. Awesome video yet again.
4 DA KIDZ Fishing lol..tell me about it...luckily its been about 5 years since the last one i lost..a funny note..the anchor in this video i snagged it with my other anchor about 2 years ago...
Question do you know anyone who is sailing a used trailer for a 21 ft cuddle cabin boat my trailer is homemade one and it is gone. Both my axles are gone the hubs are shot and it's just it's just a complete mess
I bought a high end anchor last spring , when my wife and i were done catfishing i went to pull the anchor up and it was stuck big time .. My wife volunteered to swim down and try to work to anchor free.. Well she never came back up .. So i had to cut the rope .. That was a damn good anchor to close to 200 bucks .

I would recommend you use 100% Nylon rode and not poly! the difference being nylon will stretch and poly wont! nylon is about 10x stronger than poly for the same diameter.
The zip ties and shrink tube defeat the purpose of an anchor hitch knot.....the ropes tension tightens the knot and retains the strength of the doubled rope around the clevis....using the zipties and shrink tube I would imagine weakens the knot point to about 50%...

Great tip.You are well and soft spoken for a big burly tough looking guy....and that's a compliment.Best!
Thanks for this. I have gotten my first boat and had no clue how to do this. Total life saver!!!!!!

Crazy thing is I never knew about any of this untill I lost my anchor yesterday out in the river and now I need to purchase a new one!!! Thank you
👍🙏Thank you sir!! 🙏 💝

❤️Same here!💕
Just got my first boat and really needed this insight, thanks!
Thanks for the video. Picked up my first boat and it came with a coast guard kit. I had no clue .

Ty, I just lost one last weekend and needed a refresher course 👍🏻

Wonderful way to to set up the anchor,thanks

Two thumbs up for Whalers!! Love em.
at 1:10 you can use a cable tie to stop the shackle from unscrewing.

Steven Bass ive done that a few times and if im fishing deep or fishing wrecks i will set it up that way...it works well..thank you for the info buddy
Great video and tips. Do you have any videos on your boat setup, and equipment used on it?
How come you didn't rig this to break away? Your asking to get this anchor stuck time and time again.
I dont as rule lose my anchors..ive lost one in 20 years..so i dont really see the need for a break away for me and the style of fishing that i do .
Excellent. Thank you sir
Useful info 4 the Future!! Thanks
use a safety wire to secure your clevis pins so they can't back out
Or a zip tie.

Just used what ever looked like it would work

Timothy Crews no..unfortunately i dont buddy..but i will keep my ears open

OCEANO Fl keys outfitters well said brother..
Nice video
Helpful, thanks!
Useful info thank you
OCEANO Fl keys outfitters thank you brother
This is perfect
Don't forget to setup a trip line..
For any "newby" boat people maybe ending with showing how you would attach to a boat would help us who are just learning about all this stuff.
I would recommend you use 100% Nylon rode and not poly! the difference being nylon will stretch and poly wont! nylon is about 10x stronger than poly for the same diameter.
Should be using some seizing wire on those those rings
im that guy that didn't use pliers to tighten the shackle to the anchor and saw it fly off my bow roller. ****note to all never hand tighten an anchor
The zip ties and shrink tube defeat the purpose of an anchor hitch knot.....the ropes tension tightens the knot and retains the strength of the doubled rope around the clevis....using the zipties and shrink tube I would imagine weakens the knot point to about 50%...

This explains the lost anchor.
Thanks
thank you
More chain...
Not a coupling. Its a shackle. Not rope. Its rode
That anchor doesn't work in all applications
This IS NOT the way to attach an anchor.
Blow your nose before filming.
