Thanks for this Idea Larry.

I'm going to try it out this summer. I too only toon in lakes and your idea is perfect. Two anchors is definately the way to go. Keeps you always facing the same direction. It can be a bit of a pain when the fish wraps itself around the line once in a while but I guess I just have to live with that.

I release one of my anchors at a 45 degree angle to the rear and when it hits bottom I slide the boat over in the other direction, then release the other anchor. I place the boat in the center of the two anchors and clip the nearest loop onto the carabineers. Works like a champ and really holds even in the very stron eastern WA winds.
