3 Ways to trip your Boat Anchor | Small Boat Fishing

- This is another way Graeme uses to trip his anchor on his 17ft boat. He shows you three different ways he has used for tripping his anchor when out for a days fishing aboard his small boat. Getting the right anchor for your boat is paramount, but what many people don't think about is the ability to be able to release the anchor when it is caught in the bottom or in snags. Graeme has used three different methods in the past and each method has its own advantages, this is just what has worked for him. Hope you enjoy the video and subscribe for weekly fishing videos!

The stainless steel option is the best by far. The oceans 🌊 have too much plastic in them already. My whole family loves fishing 🎣 just trying to teach them the right way from the start…
We need to make a trip line but good to see all the ideas out there. Anchoring has been our biggest stress - in a couple weeks are posting our video about the time that we had to ABANDON the boat anchor! Sailing has been a huge learning curve so far as we start our journey around the world and videos like this are a great help!
Great video! I don't have a boat but it's given me some great ideas for a grappling device for shore lost lead retrieval. Thanks!
best tip i seen. easy simple makes a lot of sense. no more losing anchors in the sea
great tips dear Sir thank You,And God Bless!!
dude youre awesome thanks for the tips
Thank you! Anchoring is something I'm nervous about.
Great video I would love to see one on the Alderney ring for gritting the anchor up maybe a thought for summer video , good work guys.
some great tips Graeme
Thank you for putting this video together! It saved my bruce anchor from remaining at the bottom of the Potomac River in Washington, DC!
Pleased it helped Bruce out !!!
Thank you very much for the tips! I suggest to use an eco friendly lace of canapa instead! Happy sea!
Love it! Thanks!
Common sense, strait to the point! Great video.
Wow a use a danforth on my boat at the river i did not know how bruce´s works. Great job, great info =)
Oh my God - you are in trouble if you try this and have a nap.
Thankyou . I grew up along a river now I moving to a lake . This method will be good to know .
Brilliant. Cheers.
Thank you!
very helpful video. was just googling why its tied like that. 😄
thank you super video
Very Good Tips Sir
Hi sir nice to see u thanks for sharing
Another helpful video! Thankyou guys keep it up hope to see some new carp videos once it is coming up to summer!
Ive seen this used on a 25ft boat but using 2 thick cable ties. Held well in 3-4m swells. Even seen it get stuck and how he got it out, with the thick cable ties it does take a bit of force to snap em. Carry spares so you can keep fishing.
Very useful
Thank you sir
Very interesting
I like the last techniques
been there done that! i now use an anchor that has a slot cut the entire length of the shank-just put a shackle on it tie the rope to the shackle and when you motor up the anchor the shackle moves from the back to the front of the anchor.
Great little video. Short and sweet! Where do you get those realise clips? Can't wait 'til Friday's video!
+Dylan Downes look on ebay under anchor trip link.
You should fish in South Wales guys Pembroke/Tenby is great for bass pollack and mackerel in summer olso Rays and they sometimes get small told there also penarth peir is good plus porthcawl can be good for rays.
Nice
Thanksssss....
That's how we anchor on or around rocks, wrecks, or the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. First time I anchored along the CBBT, I lost a brand new Fortress anchor. I spent over an hour trying to free it. After that I bought a wreck anchor (made from rebar) and which is made to be shackled at the bottom and zip tied at the top, as you demonstrated.
I have heard that as well,yet every small boat day angler I know does one of those tripping methods. If a handful are paranoid about the anchor tripping in the dark why don't they set the anchor spot on their GPS to go off if the boat drags a few feet ?? All the wreck boats I know use grapnels and trips for rough ground fishing.
thanks a lot im doing my anchor like this as i speak as ive had a few issues with losing anchors over rough ground recently
Funny, I 've sailed for 40 years and never lost an anchor, what are you doing?
For a 50ft narrowboat I will be getting a 11.4Kg Mantus, 5m DIN766 10mm chain, and an 11mm Green Pin Certified bow Shackle, 30m of 16mm Anchorplait.
it costs about £500, I won't be losing it!!!
Very nice water bottle where would one purchase one like that?
That's some great info! You guys that are not in agreement, can you show a better way? Thanks in advance. Thanks you, mate for the clip! Anchors away!!
Is there a video how to use a anchor byuy and a wood stick as you recommend?
Interesting, regardless of the critical comments. Thanks.
We used a long poly line tied to a buoy ball. Never lost an anchor. I like this anchor trip link much better.
use your good old trick....if you can snap this tackle, sure the boat can too
Does anyone know where to get the last one?
Good video. Nervous about the anchor breaking loose though. Is it common practice to simply tie a second line for retrieving? Maybe with a buoy?
This is for when you're fishing in rocks or around bridges with rubble on the bottom, not anchoring in a storm or every day use.
I am up on the west coast of Scotland near Ayr does any one no of charter boats up here?
The problem with such a setup is that if you anchor in an area where the current and/or wind shifts dramatically then the seizing (string, cable-ties, wire, et cetera) will let loose, allowing your anchor to pop out of the bottom and NOT reset. A better method is to tie another line (a bit longer than the water's depth) with a float on it to the head of the anchor. Then, if your anchor gets fouled by rocks (or whatever) you can pull the anchor out by that secondary line.
how do you set the float to the anchor line?
With a knot....?
@@JBattler yes.
Ok, now this makes sense.
I fish cook inlet with a breakaway everyday and it has some of the strongest currents in the world. The breakaway only let's loose unintentionally if you dont maintain it. Every few weeks you just redo it. That's all. I'm anchoring in 300 plus feet at times so this is the only way.
Hi Graeme. Thank you for the video. Just wondering if the stainless steel release has a scale rating imprinted on it to show the amount of lbs/kgs required to release it at that (tension bar location) setting? Thank you. Robert.
No,its adjustable. The more you slide it,the stronger it gets.
@@TAFishing Thanks Graeme. I understand that, but are there marks on it to indicate pressure/resistance to trigger its release or is down to maths / guessworks ? I'm only asking as I'm planning to move from Alderney to Windlass in constant rough ground, (West Coast of |Ireland) Thank you in advance. Much appreciated. Robert. (P.S. TH-cam name is in Irish).
Where can I buy the last one?
Hey mate did you end up finding that part.
nice video will you do a canal fishing for pike with lures plz???gr8 video im following you on instagram too
Is that Bruce better than a Danforth for muddy estuary?
First let me say thank you for the time and effort you put into the video. Second i know NOTHING about sailing. With that in mind,.... I love this idea but my concern is if the waves start kicking up and it snaps the zip tie. Is that possible? If so... now at the worst possible time, when you want the most bite from your anchor, your pulling from the worst spot on the anchor. Again, I'm looking to learn, not criticizing your method. Would the "trip line" method be better on the rare rough water conditions?
Yes, a trip line (or an Anchor Rescue) is better for anything other than short-term anchoring while fishing and such.
Can you tell me where you got your metal quick release? I don't want to put any more plastic in the water than need be. thanks,
Someone told me you can get them on ebay..I don't know the name of the man making them.
Thank you for the reply
@@TAFishing
Now that role on the danceport flop end of the anchor now could be used the way you're describing or from my commercial experience as a trap, mackerel fisherman, I would tell her a second line with a bouy on it, an would proceed the hall from that buoy
There is an anchor with a sliding shackle in the length of shank, to release pull in the opposite direction. No breakaway and resets itself.
Its all fun and games untill you break your cordage in a storm and pull anchor.
These methods are fine for day anchoring or small boats.
I couldn't sleep easy knowing that rig is at then end of my chain at night.
A competent sailor will set the anchor and tackle for the conditions expected. It's not a 'set it and forget it' situation. Not being able to retrieve ones anchor because it's fouled can be just as dangerous as one that drags.
ok for anchoring during the day .... would not want to rely on this overnight , especially if the wind picks up !!
Hello!
What is the stainless steel clip called you used on the last method please?
I don't know the name but apparently they are sold on ebay ?,maybe type in anchor release clip ?
@@TAFishing "Anchor Trip Link "
Where can I get one of that stainless steel anchor chain release
I’m still unsure about this method of having a release point/break away point on my anchor , if anchoring in a bay during bad weather would this method have potential to de-anchor me if winds /tides change?
Totally agree, if you are vertical over a anchor , it should pull out in 99% of cases, you could drop a ring and line down to try and trip it or tie a fender to the rode and come back to it, the thought of a cable tie being responsible for the horizontal pull on the anchor doesn't sit well with me.
i subscribe..
Where did you get that adjustable break out? What’s it called. I’m on the south coast asked in a few chandlers here can’t find one.
I think the guy sells them on ebay.
Do you know what it’s called? I’ve searched can’t find anything like it. Only Alderney Rings.
But what if your chain tension is enough to trip the anchor anyway?
Just adjust the tension ? Its a day boat,not talking about anchoring a container ship. Either extra cable ties(we were using them on another angler's boat today) or adjust the tension on the stainless trip.
Do you have a link for the breakaway stainless link?
I think they are available on Ebay but I don't have a link.
What will that stanlay steel anchor release be called? I can't find it online???
I am still using mine,I will try to find out its name.
@@TAFishing Did you mange to find the name of the steel anchor release?
What is the name of the third metal thing you used on the anchor? Where can you find it?
I think it is just called an anchor trip.I was told they are on ebay ?
What is the name of that stainless clip? I can't find it anywhere.
I think the guy sells them on Ebay ?
You sure Hava a lot of info for the video and such but nothing on the anchor release...
Where can we get one?
I think they are on ebay.
Can you let me know what the name of the clip is please
Thanks Steve
I can't remember the name but I was told you can buy them on ebay.
Any tips for the recovery of folding anchors?
Might be worth checking online or a search engine as I have never heard of a folding anchor
I was going to try this idea for my folding anchor.
Folding grapnel anchors work the same way.
folding anchors are usually just for dingies,
Would that stay on a 10 ton sailboat anchored in 50kn + of wind?
In the description at the top of the film "Show more" it says I use the various methods for anchoring my 17-foot boat ?? I hope if I read the weather forecasts correctly I won't be anywhere at sea in 50 knots of wind !!
what is the name of the stainless device ??
I don't know the name of it. I believe they are sold on Ebay ?
Better use hemp for that. Nylon and plastics become fishfood and we all know how that ends.
How do you get the cabel-tie back on the boat after it breaks
You use another one🤫🤫
@@user-un6qq3vj8s And just let the fish, dolphins etc choke on the first one?
@@oceancrossingutopia thats a good point
Thats why you use steel wire instead. It will rust away
Haha....... yeah,..... allmost, u tommy cooper........ !
In a tide/windshift the strain on the cable ties will give since the chain will pull
from a different angle. And then, while having your fish,n,chips ashore..................
Don,t try this at home folks.
My cable ties only snap when I steam them out on the Alderney .Maybe you have ties that are too small. If I kept breaking out I wouldn't be using them would I .
That is fine for a lunch anchor where you will be in one spot for no more than a couple three hours. If you're trying to anchor say overnight, when the tide changes the string or zip tie is almost guarantee to break and thus pull your anchor up and leave you adrift with a dragging anchor. The hole on the fulcrum point of the anchor is actually there to add a second line to. That way you can use it to trip the anchor if it gets snagged. Most cruisers that do this will put a float or something like that on the end of the trip line so it can be easily retrieved if you snag your anchor. Otherwise you just retrieve it when you retrieve your anchor in the morning.
if you know your anchoring overnight you just add another shackle in place of the zip ties and then remove it when fishing during the day.,
Nice tips but please don't use plastic parts, or tie them somehow for the anchor so they don't fall off.
I couldn't sleep at night on the hook Knowing only a cable tie was stopping me from breaking loose.
Its for day boats. Loads of people use them.
If you are overnighting stick a shackle in it. My father did this for decades and saved his anchor at least half a dozen times. If the weather was a bit rougher he would add two or three more loops of cord. Was tough to break, but could be done driving the boat against it when it was stuck, then pulled straight out.
I have a 17ft sailboat and about to take her out and thought what if I just wanted to drop anchor and do some fishing on the lake. Didn't have a anchor and bought one yesterday and was wondering about that hole at the bottom. I'm going to give this a try on mine.
dont
the hole is for an additioanal line with a boyancy ball on the surface for retriavel ...dont use this trick if you want to feel safe
Buenit📍
what happens if you anchor for night and that breaks?
Its for day boat fishing generally,though I have stayed overnight.Plus you can often set your gps for anchor drag alarm if you are overnighting.
Two chains could work easier and you keep extra rope
where can I buy the stainless shackle?
Unless you're using a stainless steel anchor and stainless steel chain, use a galvanized steel shackle. It's stronger and won't cause electrolysis.
What is the metal anchor trip called and can you still get them?
Someone told me they are on ebay..guess you just type in "ANCHOR TRIP"??
