ha ha yep!

Well the hardest part of pulling anchor is getting it free from the bottom. Also the anchor ball does hold the wait of the chain until you are right at the chain.

I guess you are right at least half of the weight of the chain would be supported once the anchor becomes locked .

I did not have much success on my boat cuz I could not get enough speed. I only achieved about five knots because I was in a crowded waterway. how much speed do you think you need to pull a 15 foot chain all the way through.

Yeah there is lots to figure out!

Glad to hear it!

Ha ha yeah that is good advice!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks! Panel net designs are the highest quality. In the video link, I wrote and article showing some good nets. It depends on what type of bait you are trying to catch to determine the net you need. If you are just in shallow water less than two feet almost any net will work. If you are in deep water trying to catch bigger baits then you need a professional cast net.

@@CaptainCody7 excellent, thank you

Sure thing, good luck fishing!

Thanks!

Ha ha well hopefully you catch some bream!

That is a great idea! Good luck on the charters!

A dry bag or box would be an excellent idea. Supposedly these will float, but I've also heard cases of leaking PRBs.

Glad it helped!

I was just traveling through so I did not have a good way to cook them.

Sure thing!

Ha ha well you can only keep so many alive in a five gallon bucket so it was not a big deal!

Sure thing, thanks for watching!

Hmm it does say 11 lbs on the anchor. That boat was probably smaller than you realize.

@@CaptainCody7 10:25 you said it was 18ft boat and clearly 11 lbs. I just traded down from 16.5 lb Bruce that was rated for 28ft boat so I'm sure everything you described is a good match.

Glad you got out of of there safe. It is mostly with older pee but people say that it happens with fresh as well it seems.

Glad it helped!

Yeah you are correct.

Ha ha that is great!

This is how many people clean salmon.

Yeah it works great!

Glad it was helpful!

Well right now I am in Florida. I would like to spend so more time in Alaska, I defiantly miss being up there!

I think an anchor ball would work for a sail boat. It would just take a bit longer and you need to be able to tie off to the front obviously. I have not had an issue with it breaking because of waves. It takes a pretty strong pull to break it free.

Thanks! Yeah, I know I have not posted for bit.

Well, I do make the suggestions in the video. If the net is low quality or old sometimes that is just the best you can do. Sometimes I get a new quality net vs my old beat-up net and I am surprised at how nice it opens. Obviously, make sure it is tangle-free as that is typically the issue.

@@CaptainCody7 alright thanks.

Thanks! Sweet, that was a good decision!

Sure thing!

Yeah there are some interesting way to throw a net!

Sure thing, thanks for watching!

Ha ha If it works for you then yes it is a trade secret!

Great thanks, yeah this is in the keys!

You can use them with any hook but for halibut we always use circle hooks.

IDK you have the heads off the fish. Josh shows a simple way similar to that done for pinks on commercial boats where the fish does not even get gut and gilled if you watch the entire video. Commercial guys clean thousands of pinks and or chums per day. The big kings are a bit different. I agree to save as much meat as you can. Many places sell the heads and scraps to boil for soup. However, charter guys can not sell any part of a fish.

@@CaptainCody7 it makes no difference to me if heads are on or off or gutted we don’t get the fish so abundantly so wherei live so every bit counts I use all my waste for crab bait And the rest goes in my compost I will keep your email till the next time I’m filleting and will show you my method of filleting I have a few videos on how to fillet and some of guys first time filleting I don’t know how to post them main stream on video but they are there I’m 76 and computy s drive me nuts but I admire your answering me it says a lot thank you

In the video description I provide a link to an article where you can get the lures fully rigged on Amazon. Captain's Choice Fishing is actually a company I started to sell lures.

Ha ha that seems a bit more difficult! If you are barefoot though I guess it would work!

@@CaptainCody7 in some cases i don't. Like where there's alot of rock or fallen trees. But off a boat im usually barefoot anyways (or crocks). I've tied off to the kleat of the boat too. Anything is better then watching your net sink to the bottom then realizing the cuff slipped off or wasn't attached in the first place. For the record I've only lost 2 lol I did retrieve 1

@@justingulick6747 I guess it could slip off but I have have not had an issue with that. Sometimes if I think something big might be around, I hold it in my hand so I can let go if needed rather than being attached. I have not had to let go yet though. Most of the time big fish like tarpon will just punch right through the net though.

@@CaptainCody7 Damn yeah thats a good practice in waters like that. I've only thrown in a couple lakes and a couple river's.

Glad you liked it!

Yeah, that is a good idea!

Ha ha She likes going out most of the time!

That would be great! Thanks for the comment!

ha ha that is a good point! At least we had a way to catch bait!

y7 You got the fish in the boat! Everything else is for the birds! Good work!

That could be the case where you are fishing. Where I anchor, I really like the claw anchor! The Danforth is more likely to get stuck and does not have a good way to release. If you like danforths though that is great cause they are typically the lowest cost anchors.

Well the best anchor depends on lots of factors, size of boat, length of chain, and type of bottom. I link to an article I wrote with more information with an updated list of best anchors.
