I don't like the look of that setup. But it is effective on bottom fishing like bsb and tog......
Ironically I haven't seen any boats with that set up, always a bow anchor that's all chain and then someone anchors off the stern, though I'm sure there are personal charters that have that setup for tog, we only get to target them for a few months here tops.

BSB and Scup at least venture a bit so we can afford to swing.

@Billybob I can definitely see that (literally and metaphorically) as a reason with the speed. You just think the sonar from being on top of it would constantly ping at the same spot showing the changes regardless of speed.

Thanks guys for the education. It'll come in handy when I take my yak out in search for fluke once this FW%$@$%@ wind stops!
