I put an electric anchor winch from a pontoon boat on my 17ft boat and want to either find a deal on an anchor pole for the stern or maybe make something myself. On the boats with a hand crank winch, I put rope guides down along the gunwale on the right side, that way there's never anything in my way when bringing in a fish. "Back bay fishing can mean a lot of things, here we have back bays that are 2 to 10ft deep and a few that are 8 to 50ft deep near the shipping lanes. That deep water can hold some big fish.</blockquote>
