Be carefull using your power pole as an anchoring device while wading, especially in windy conditions. We found a 23' Shoalwater cat drifting in the Chocolate Bay channel and it's owner waving frantically at us from 300 yards away.

X2, people that purchase these thing believe thats what they are, an anchor. Even though they may be advertised as a shallow water anchoring system that is not what they were originally designed for. This is not the first time a boat has come loose and won't be the last. GaterOriginally posted by SCHU View PostSeriously? Scary thought to believe that would act as an anchor...Oh well.

Clark08 and myself saved a guy last year in west whose boat also got away from him while using a PP. It was all operator error in that the guy misjudged how fast his boat would push with the wind. Lifted the PP up with his remote while wading back to the boat and couldn't catch up fast enough. Good thing we were close by to give him a lift."If our father had his say, nobody who did not know how to catch a fish would be allowed to disgrace a fish by catching him."
