I am kind of new at this and this year I want to wreck fish a lot more. I have gone a few times before but I am not just getting into it.

I went today to a wreck in about 80' of water. It was blowing about 15 and there was a 2' chop on the water. I had trouble positioning my boat exactly where I wanted it. I got close once but decided to pick up and move and had a hell of a time getting it right on. Then my anchor got snaged on it but i got it off and I switched to my fishing anchor (mightly-mite) and that worked good but I felt like I needed more a lot more scope and a second anchor to position your boat in the wreck.

I did manage a couple small tog and a few sizeable 3.5# seabass but that was about it. I spent more time playing the position game. I was thinking of dropping a buoy on it running up and dual anchoring and drop back to the buoy....how do you guys get in position to hit it dead on?
