The best way is to get both rodes on deck and tie the two bitter ends together. Coil the line so the stern anchor can be set first. Drop the stern anchor first and ease up to the spot you want to drop the bow anchor. Now you just pull back towards the stern anchor. The beauty of this method is that you can have greater scope on both anchors using the same amount of line. This is probably not a concern in 15 feet of water.. The other advantage is not having to back down to the correct spot for the stern anchor. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05754477958996624737noreply@blogger.com
