Sounds like you had a good day for your first time out, except for the kayak drifting part. You should invest in a reliable small boat anchor system.

Yea, I have about a4lb folding up "grappling anchor". Dont have any chain on it though. I dont know if that would help that style anchor hold better or not! what do u use? I have had this drag on me more than a couple times when I was on the fish. I like it for the oysterbars though!
