How to anchor like a pro!

[@glennstory7090]

Best Demo of using an Anchor buoy ever ..... TY

[@stevebillington2275]

I keep waiting for you to say “but wait, there’s more!!” Lmao I love your energy

[@bentackett6299]

I wish I had half of this guys energy! I'd get some stuff done...

[@sandrathornthwaite2030]

I bought my Front runner from you 4 yrs ago and love it. Have moved down to Moreton bay area. Great tutorial. I have a dicky back and when I am not using the Minn Kota I am going to try this method. Looks a lot easier for my back. Thanks.

[@M3ddic1407]

This guy cracks me up!!! lol great info though!

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍Great demo. I loved watching this video. Thank you. 💝

[@donpaco8163]

Outstanding video! Greetings from the Caribbean.👍

Wow pirates It’s a long way from Australian Move come to the land of opportunity where anyone can be anything It’s true

[@TheBabyskywalker]

Thanks! best loop lesson period’ look forward watching more of your videos. Found your presentation so good in all ways ’ It bumped sight down to 3rd place. Closed eyes for the repeat’ and drummed your lively in proper. btw in the straightest possible way. White shorts were made for you mate. Cheers

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

Anchoring sucks without a anchor buoy I haven’t pulled an anchors from bottom in 20 years Don’t listen to people theorising watch the professionals who are pulling anchor all day every day 100. % use this method If you don’t tie off to back of boat wait and see what happens when you get hooked up and slow down

[@andrewbaker5532]

I was so afraid your anchor boy wasn't gonna unhook the anchor and your boat was going to flip over. Phew. Super helpful, many thanks. - AB in Borneo

I live in Florida and have been fishing and boating my entire life and I think your videos are great.Just bought a Yamaha 115 sho and can't believe what an excellent motor it is.Its like a rocket on my flats boat

[@SuperBushboy1]

best instructional video by far, thanks. idiots on every site. they are the ones which capsize. Minn kotas are great until they dont automatically retract and the arm gets bent on the way home. i have a crook back & will use this all the time,

[@Huck19Bella]

Thanks, great video. I just bought my new F115LB from your shop and about to run it in tomorrow. Might need to take you up on your offer for assistance some time for the anchor buoy set up and use! Cheers, T

[@integr8er66]

A great solution to a long chain is just a heavy iron or lead hunk on the chain about 5 ft from the anchor. The only reason for chain is weight.

[@CustomcrowdMitroc]

best anchor is plow, i have tried so many anhors and the plow has been the best so far

[@martinstoppard2605]

Awesome! Had no idea this was even a thing . Looking forward to buying a big boat off you guys so we can use the anchor buoy.👍

[@familyrig]

Love your passion mate

[@simosuperjet5605]

I liked the enthusiasm a lot especially when I found out he actually knows what he's on about, I use this method ecept i tie my anchor line to my painter (my bow rope) and I like to use as little rope as possible so that when the current or the wind changes it doesn't take me to far away from where I was catching fish I use 15meters of 6mm chain on a 5meter glass boat it let's me Anchor in 50meters water with only 70mrts rope out plus chain plow anchor..never moves even with 15knot wind ect

[@tenga2013]

I always enjoy and learn from your lessons on KZbin. Thanks much!

[@figment61]

I was always told "Never pull the anchor from a stern cleat, if the anchor snags you end up anchored stern on and can get swamped".

[@Radswa_Chikinora]

Particularly important if the weather suddenly turns. The Anchor holds the stern down and a wave can come over and flood the boat.... however in good Conditions, it's rather convenient

[@fiveowaf454]

I've seen a boat sink for that very issue. The motor failed in a strong current, the anchor was thrown over the stern and when caught in a mooring chain the transom dipped down and the sea came over the stern and the boat sank in seconds. Admittedly, it had a very shallow transom, but when he talked about an anchor on the stern, that incident from over 40 years ago came to mind. I think it can be done safely in the right conditions, boat and with someone who's watching the weather etc. It made me nervous the speed he was going with the recovery too, I thought what if the anchor is hooked in something and tries to stop you at 20 mph.

[@jamesabbatoy811]

Fiveo waf his method may work in the right conditions, but not all conditions. He should have explained that so a new boater doesn’t get the impression this is how it’s done. The Niagara River has about a 13 knot current on a calm day. Try that there and you’ll be swimming before you can utter an oh shit.

[@fiveowaf454]

It's definitely not a panacea for all types of water, conditions and boats, definitely not for a 13 knot current, that must be a challenge to anchoring and retrieving at any time.

[@jamesabbatoy811]

Fiveo waf anchoring with s danforth anchor isn’t half as bad as retrieving the anchor.

[@luke6271]

Legit, the amount of time spent with that stupid buoy i could've just pulled it up myself.

[@Adogsmate4267]

Did it 5 or 6 times a day fishing in the old days, in 80 mtrs of water. The old man wouldn't dream off taking a turn.

[@colinwest5496]

Mate and I do the same when we retrieve our reef anchor saves busting your back.

[@TheCominghome]

You do sound like the WAIT THERE''S MORE!!!! guy....all that yelling and all....car salesman? YOU KNOW CHAIN IS EXPENSIVE!!!!! lol good video thanks. And to think....you sound like such a Aussie yobbo....

[@jayv8888]

that was actually insanely informative, gonna do this next time im offshore

[@fiveowaf454]

I too found it most interesting, unfortunately most times when I anchor I'm in a narrow rock canyon and so have to break a lot of the "anchoring rules" to keep my line short enough to keep of the shoe and rocks when the boat swings around. I'm looking for some tips on using stern anchor as well as a bow anchor.

[@rivermonsoon7009]

You’re a stud. Works perfectly. I have a ski fish boat I use at the colorado river and I like to leave the buoy in the water To tell where my line is but can’t seem to do it right. Can you help with that?

[@Greybelt2]

Thanks Aaron that was fantastic very informative mate 😊👍

[@gerardtaylor5004]

LOTS OF GOOD TIPS, THANKS BUDDY. it will help me in ireland,

[@RobertGammie]

You had me up until you went wide open throttle to dislodge the anchor. Lol

[@RusstafaB]

Hey you are so lively never seen anchoring done like this. Not sure if this is s joke or for real. Liked the video though and do not think I will use this technique, bit brutal for my taste and in the wrong conditions could go horribly wrong

[@CalaisRider]

GOOD OVERVIEW!!!

[@drewwilson145]

Excellent video thanks

[@equinoxfishingteam5837]

Great info Mate!!! Love it!

[@Broxty]

This guys a beauty.

[@lachlanoneil8938]

all good exept for tying to the back, you will sink if your in huge waves and hook up, if its on the bow u cant really sink at all

[@franklee5723]

I don't even use a chain on this reef anchor, except, I guess, when he does use a chain. Get this guy decaf from now on.

[@Blinkblink742]

This is very similar to if Mark Chopper Read was teaching me how to anchor

[@raytbrown2]

Neat concept. Totally un-usable in a raft-up situation as you would hook everyone around you. But very cool if you're solo or as you say, in a 100m (328ft) of water; but you would have needed a 1K feet of line (as I don't call it rope) for that to make sense (as that's deep). Either way, thanks for the pro-tip.

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

The concept of the buoyancy of the float moving down the anchor line increasing the pull angle will still work in small areas of water under 20m In 5 m tighten up rope with float at back of boat and drive away Try it Lots of pros use 20 lt plastic drums you buy oil in

[@raytbrown2]

@@BrisbaneYamaha Oh, yes. I know. I call them anchor balls or retrievers. I just don't use them at 35 knots and punish them like it's a poor fish hooked in the wake. (Personally, I prefer the circle method to deal with the potential of an anchor hooked on the rocks.) But I totally enjoyed the video either way. So . . . TY!

[@storyfirstfilms149]

bloody awesome!

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

Your awsome

[@Wesnostress2]

GREAT TIPS SIR. THANKS

[@schlaznger8049]

The anchor buoy doesnt pull up on the anchor and cause it to come loose?

[@Martian74]

No, because it is loose and floating on top of the water. You have to get the boat moving to make it sink and then it will put pressure on the anchor and lift it out of the water straight up and then follow the boat.

[@NikosWings]

But wait... there’s more... this got more and more complicated but I get it. Use a buoy because it helps

[@alby910]

Does aaron choose his Tshirts on size smaller than recomended or he just works out alot? .

[@tiotigeorge4794]

I'll consider that as a tip...but not on rough waters...

[@oldschooldiy3240]

Good info!

[@gartoy]

How did you tie to bow I cuddy cabin and it very hard to get to the bow?

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

Sometimes too difficult, the cuddy cabs we offer all have large hatches which allows you to access the bow without too much difficulty, yet unfortunately there are many boat brands out there that have a small hatch...

So in other words, you throw a boy overboard and let him get caught on the anchor chain. Yup, got it. ;-)

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

Your a genius

[@basictonus]

Woww good.

[@lukex22x]

That's what I was just about to say...

[@simonbaj334]

Just easier to get an anchor winch....... far safer as well.

[@Martian74]

Using an anchor winch only works on larger boats and larger boats have other issues, like getting them out of the water at the end of the day. Even bigger boats can't leave the water so they need to be docked which brings other issues. Just learn to anchor safely and you won't need an anchor winch, although he can sell you one if you need it.

[@peterk814]

You def do not need as much chain as the length of your boat. It depends on the size of the chain and anchor

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

The point is the chain has to be heavy and long enough so the movement of the boat only lifts the chain and not the anchor That said in rocky reef eta I don’t use much or even any chain

[@peterk814]

npgSymboL that’s because he is a goog. You can use zero chain and anchor fine in the right conditions

[@Annieharmony8]

Cool

[@andrewgaron3428]

NOW!I (Thumbs up from me)

[@andyvan5692]

at 1:39 you forgot the most obvious problem with anchoring, that is having a wanchor in the cockpit!, or the 'other' interpritation of the phrase, throwing it over the side, that is chain and all!!

[@katemanges2997]

That is the hard way to weigh an anchor!

[@ryeckley7267]

But he’s not offshore, he’s using a reef anchor in the sand in 15’ of water with a 80’ scope, but the tutorial attempts to imply that this procedure will work on a sand bottom in 100’ of water, not with that anchor it won’t. I’m confused. In calmer bathtub water you can side anchor at any depth, but be very careful to not stern or side anchor in a fast current rougher conditions at any depth.

[@MV-in2lq]

Except Australia has inshore reefs.

[@bjm275]

You need a new camera man great info tho

[@nikolaskostov84]

Good info, haven't had to drop or pull anchor for years as minbkota does it all. Just shouting made me give you thumbs down, i was half way the video and was going to turn it off but had a good laugh. Just sounded constipated with few beers in gut and iritated with some bad coke in ya. Relax, Fishing and boating is about relaxing and enjoying make it look that way !

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

Good on you Niko, we love Minn Kota's position lock feature as well. Boating/fishing technology these days really is amazing.

[@miltonsimmons3876]

haha, let your lock down break, forget how to anchor...and wish your snobbed ass, listened in respect, vs bitchass...

[@bigdog7658]

Wait till the rope about to tangle and cut the video.

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

Get big dog your barking up the wrong tree The reason there isn’t much drone footage showing off shore action and techniques is drones are salt and spray landing on a boat at sea isn’t eazy either battery life and weather dominates everything we do with drone

[@Beat69420]

1:07 what did he say

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

You need to speak red neck bogan Yo understand

[@williambiggs2308]

You complaining people need to try speaking in a good breeze with an outboard running.

[@dunderclumpin]

Did he say anchor or wanker ?

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

Wanker ! Say hello to your mother

[@ScoutyBoyO]

Never tie to the stern. Disaster. Good otherwise, though.

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

I’m talking trailer boats when you leave on bow and anchor is hooped up and you slow or try and turn the bow gets violently pull around and can be disastrous In heavy seas When it’s on stern you can turn and release pressure very easily

[@ScoutyBoyO]

@@BrisbaneYamaha either way a stuck anchor is no fun and any captain needs to understand the dangers associated. I did like the video.

[@aluketoohey5084]

WHY ARE YOU YELLING?

[@johnchapman8976]

someone's going to watch your video and drive off with their reef anchor snagged on a reef seriously damage their boat or have a horrific accident on board. maybe spend a little more time with your "pro" mates.

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

Bull shit Are you American then who cares We use 6 to 12 mill silver rope Never ever happen

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

Well I’ve used an anchor float a thousand times and never had your issue that said if you haven’t been hooked your probably got a electric motor for an anchor

[@johnchapman8976]

1. You're tying off your anchor to the side of your boat. Seriously??? The reason your boat has an anchor well and tie off point at the front of your boat is so when your boat drifts it will turn into the current and the water will go around your boat and it will not tip to the side, particularly in the chop. 2. You pull your anchor completely out of the water for multiple reasons other than safety. BEFORE MAKING WAY. You are making way with the anchor in the water potentially snagged on an unknown which you wouldnt know because it's "still in the water". 3. You are towing your anchor behind your boat, I don't even know where to start with how dangerous that is not only for the people on board your boat but other users of the water ways aswell. ie. boaters, pwc's, divers etc. 4. I would like to see anywhere in any boating safety guide that would allow such bad practice on the water ways. 5. When boating and using any water way there is duty of care to marine life and the other users of these water ways. do EVERYONE a favor and give up your hobby of boating before you do some serious damage. And no I am not an American although I don't see what that would have to do with anything as anyone with common sense and a skipper's ticket would know that you're insane. I strongly advise you remove this video before you cause some damage to someone, something or your business.

[@josepeixoto3384]

@@BrisbaneYamaha 6 to 12 mil silver rope: can you explain what that is ? thanks

[@SuperHOGGA]

@@johnchapman8976 I thought exactly the same at one stage. Boat would be side on to the current. But on replaying vid he says that the rope is run through the bow sprit before tieing off loose rope to the side rail.

[@georgecowan6352]

Bad advice. !!!!!!!! NEVER tie an anchor to the stern. NEVER !!!!!!! That being said, An anchor buoy can work great. But, Never tie the anchor to the stern?

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

I’m taking trailer boats or you’ve never had an anchor stuck on bottom and the rope gets so tight that when you slow down or try and turn to release pressure the rope pulls bow violently and in big seas that’s bloody frightening By tying off stern the press is on a very strong cleats and you can turn easier to release pressure Your probably thinking you can pull stern under but that just doesn’t happen before rope breaks Rope size is important too for many reasons in deep water then you have hundreds of metres out breaking off is expensive and not ideal having rope left in water In small boats with lite weight anchor in shallow water on sand I often just drive off with out tying off at all

[@BrisbaneYamaha]

George I just read a heap of replies on this and there is a common theme Americans are nuts

[@matthewmiller784]

First is that the boat he is using is ugly and use a plow anchor that one is not safe and that you are not supposed to anchor by Saturn cleat if the anchor snags your boat will get drenched with water and that boat is not supposed to go out in deep water I would not even take it in a lake
