How to Pull Anchor with an Anchor Ball
Best anchor types.
www.globalfishingreports.com/...
In this video, captain Cody shows how to retrieve an anchor with anchor buoy attached to an anchor ring. The actor is set in about 400 feet of water. There is 600 feet of anchor chain set out and 75 feet of anchor chain. this would be extremely difficult to pull in by hand. It would also require a powerful windlass anchoring system. The fast and easy way to pull the anchor is with an anchor buoy.
As I mention in the video never tie the anchor line to the middle or back of the boat as the can make the boat flip or get submerged in water and sink. There are stories of this happening so only tie the anchor line near the front for the boat.
When retrieving the anchor drive upwind into the waves. This will make it so one the anchor is retrieved the boat drifts toward the buoy and the line can easily be gathered.
Thanks for watching,
Captain Cody

Cowboys use rope. Fishermen use line. Just like a map is to chart. Also the stainless steel wire on your anchor shackle should be rubber wrapped for safety and appearance. Nice video on retrieving your anchor. I have been using your method of trolling for salmon with whole herring. So simple yet effective. I used to use cut plug herring but I believe your method has a better presentation and rotation. Thanks.

Yeah, that is a good point. The few times I anchored up overnight to sleep on boats we actually use another metal shackle and some metal zip ties to ensure it will not break free. The other methods I see are with metal or plastic zip ties. There are ones with top loops so you can recover the plastic when the anchor breaks free. I have never had a nice Rocna. My thought is you probably have a windlass and do not get stuck that often? A scuba trip if it does get stuck!

Good idea / cleaver / intuitive. Makes me wonder if putting the windless back on after chopping it off for renovations it worth the hassle. Only it would be good if you first tied knout around chain link so plastic is collected not inconvieniencing some poor fish. Also it looks like the Aluminium holding anchor thingy needs reinforcing back-plate going down to hull with support welds {so as not to put fracture bottom of hull}. Thanks for the anchor tip - Im new to all this - and theres valuable hindsight - thanks!

There can be no slack in the link in the uni-knots. The chain will be pulled from that connection if there is some slack you are pulling the chain from the knot connection so it is the rope there supporting all the push force, not the chain. That will break for sure.

Newb here, trying to learn/research all the topics raised here. 30' sport cruiser, only fish occasionally, have a fluke anchor that is breaking at the welds, looking at a Bruce or Danforth 22lb to replace it, so obviously interested in not losing it. Love the Rocna - perhaps if confidence is VERY HIGH lol. The idea of a second, buoyed line to the head in lieu of a breakaway seems brilliant. But my boat doesn't even have room up in the anchor stow for a ball buoy as shown in this video (better solution? inflatable buoy?). Considering doing a custom windlass install but thats another conversation - cant get the OEM WL anymore. I have a 10' rode with heavy (I believe) 5/8" chain. What happens when anchored and wind shifts 180', without a breakaway? Unless your anchor has a hinge, won't it pull free anyway? Same with a breakaway I guess, just faster. I don't plan to overnight anchored often, but I will never forget doing so with my brother's 40' at Lake George island camping. We swam two anchors out offshore, since we would have trashed the dock and the hull on the rocks, with the size of the waves. This saved our boat, but in bigger seas might have broadsided the boat with a windshift and giant waves - not good...fortunately the islands provided some wind relief and we weathered it. Long night. I know a lot of questions here, and no right answer for all. Add to that the idea of backing up/moving forward during recovery - in danger of fouling my anchor line in the props - scares the hell out of me. Appreciate any/all insights...TIA. p.s. heading over to your 'knots' video...

I really like the Bruce for short term anchor situations. You can get an anchor ball with a open ring and carbiner. This allows you to store the ball anywere on boat. In the description I link to an article with the best anchors that show this at the bottom. For overnight the delta or Rocna like you say are very good. This is common for sailboats. If you do stay overnight place a metal shackle on the breakaway. If you try the anchor ball and do not like it then you could get an expensive windless setup, however an anchor ball is pretty easy to use.

@@deraeler Yeah, practice when the seas are not to rough. It depends how big the hole on the anchor is and size of chain. There are actual metal shackles built to connect the chain to the loop in the rope that can work if you get the correct size. We add wire on the hole so the screw can not back out. Other times we have just used metal zip ties. You could also just move the anchor connection to the front possibly depending on the design.

If used while anchoring next to a ship wreck while scuba diving, I would imagine that it is possible for the anchor to get hooked on the wreck if your not careful.

If the Bruce anchor gets stuck the cable ties should break and the anchor is pulled from the front releasing it. Sure depending on the structure, it is possible to get the anchor stuck. Never tie the anchor off to the back or middle of the boat as this can sink or flip a boat in a stuck anchor situation. When tied to the front the boat should just be pulled to the sided and the boat should be slowed down and or taken out of gear. If you go to fast it could still cause problems in the front so be reasonable.

Tie the tie first to the chain Then tie the tie to the anker bar 2 . Find a better tie system than in point one above , That will ensure total retrieval of tie material . 3 , Perhaps there is a metal clip designed to serve as a tie repetitively by design . Do research , make indepth enquiry , and through research and enquiry , You may actually solve the problem , Or actually design a chain-anker-bar-clip ( Or tie that remains on the chain or anker bar when the anker is hoisted ) BUT TO LITTER THE OCEAN IS NOT AN OPTION .

At the time I had not thought about that and it is a good point. Almost all fishing line does not decompose quickly and should not be left in the water. Anchors need some breakaway system thought or the anchor and anchor line will get stuck more often resulting in a lot more gear being left behind. Tying the line back or using multiple zip ties is the best solution I know of for the breakaway system.

Americans have 40' boats with 3 or 4 or 6 massive outboard engines but they don't have a simple windlass. In Europe, nowadays, every boat over 25' has a windlass.

Same here. And we use zip ties that do break when pulling the anchor, making for easier retrieval. Hence why it's called a break-a-way system .

Seems u don't want an anchor ... u need a weight. A large cone of concrete with an eye bolt thro it will hold u in the same conditons that wd hold with your rope-tie anchor arrangement ..... but needs no tripping buoy or line to pull it up, cos it never gets snagged.
@CaptainCody7
@CaptainCody7 Жыл бұрын
Hmm I am not sure if that would work or not. Having a large concrete block on the boat does not seem like a good idea. Mushroom and river anchors are good for small boats in calm waters. I will say the 75 foot of chain really helps. Without this alot more line would need to be let out to get the right angle for the anchor.

@gordonbennet1094 Жыл бұрын
@@CaptainCody7 My point is this - by disabling the function of your anchor, u have effectively turned it into a weight. Your concrete weight wouldn't weigh anymore than your anchor - it wd just be easier to handle, and no tripping system reqd.

So you are dumpning a few feet of synthetic rope in the ocean every time you anchor? This rope will not degrade you know. It will litter the ocean for decades, if not centuries. I'm sure you can find a way so you don't have to do this. Use hemp or cotton line or just tie the end of the line to the anchor so you can hoist it back up and dispose of it responsibly.
@CaptainCody7
@CaptainCody7 Жыл бұрын
Yeah, it is a better idea to tie the rope to the anchor chain so it can be disposed of properly. I do not know of any good strong hemp or cotton lines. Plastic zip ties work as well and can be zip tied to the anchor so they can be disposed of properly.

@@CaptainCody7 no, not just now, but if the line is not super strong, just make more turns. Or make it so one end always will remain on the chains. Just saw the video with the twins girls, and they use thick strip ties. Will be in the water for 5-600 years... Same with nylon. I also fish, but always try to get the line back in. I put on tackle that break before line. I TRY at least. But thanks for the trick, I will test in a few months 😁

Most charter boats in Sitka use 75 foot of chain with a bruce anchor. This allows us to anchor up to around 600 feet of water with only 1075 feet of line. With an anchor ball it is easy to pull as well. In shallow water or different anchor styles you can get away with less chain if you have more that 3 to 1 scope to depth.
