Hory Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 What type/size of anchor would be the easiest and most effective to use with a 14 foot fishing boat? Primarily I would be fishing a small-medium sized river and smaller lakes. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I like richtor and digger anchors. I would think something in the 18# would be enough. Oh and I always have 120' of rope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzy Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I use a 12# mushroom on the bow and a 5LB folding canoe anchor off the stern if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 River or navy anchor should work fine for a boat that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hory Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 Would a 12lb River anchor suffice? I am trying to keep as little extra weight in the boat as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Probably not in current or wind. I would go 16 at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 It never hurts to have an oversized anchor. If it gets windy or you are in very heavy current, you won't have an issue with breaking loose.Richtor anchors do hold well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
