Hey guys, so I have managed to get most supplies I need to anchor for halibut, I have a single length of 600ft of rope, an anchor, 15ft of chain a large Buoy. A small buoy. A galvanized welded ring for the large buoy to lift the anchor. I think I have gathered most of what I need to put it all together I just have a few questions?
What is used for the "quick release" mechanism for the anchor line, I've been doing some reading and its mostly unclear but it seems that it is a "quick release snap shackle" that is used? And where abouts do you locate it on your boat. It seems like it could be placed at several different places on the boat for releasing.
How to you determine the length between your large Buoy and your boat if it is one seamless piece of rope from your chain to buoy to boat and how do you control it. Thanks guys iam a noob to anchoring, but I have read 100s of posts on here about it, watched youtube videos and researched it on the Internet.
I do not know anybody that has a proper anchor setup to show me these things, so I will have to figure it out myself and teach myself slowly how to anchor safely and properly.
Thanks in advance.
