Coast Guard recommends a scope of 7:1 as a rule . However, on calm days in shallow water we can use a shorter scope. If we are anchoring as a safety or emergency reason, use the longer scope.

That was helpful. Do one on anchoring near structure, like jetty rocks or rig legs, please!

An old school grappling hook set to trip is much more effective (and easier to get back) than the danforth in rough ground. I'd wasted so much money on danforth kits until I discovered this. Useless in sand/mud though so carry a plough for that.

Good tips there also if you toss the anchor over you will scare fish away they can hear that in the water. It may sound silly but maybe you can do a video on setting up with power poles as well.
