Don't Make this Anchor Trolley Mistake Kayak Fishing
A big wave is about to hit... the anchor snags violently on the bottom in strong current ... or even a nice fish is about to wrap around the anchor line .. don't grab frantically for a knife and hope you can cut the line (or your trolley) in time - just connect the anchor to the boat the correct way! Two weeks ago, I attended a seminar where the guide related a story. He was fishing in his kayak, and the anchor snagged, pulling the boat over. He said he was able to grab his knife and cut the anchor trolley free since he could not reach the anchor line. Really??? If a guide can make this mistake, others can as well. Do it the right way!

It goes without saying that fishing is dangerous as a result of the fast water, slick rocks and other hazards that occur at random, unexpected places. You need to exercise caution, particularly in the spring when the water is high or during rapid changes in tide, before you fish anywhere. You should always wear a life vest when fishing. In addition, a wading staff will help you keep your balance as you walk on the shoreline or wade.
The bottom line is that you must make your own judgment in terms of acceptable behavior and risk and not rely on the opinions expressed here. The regulations governing legal access to fishing locations may change at any time and it is your responsibility to understand the law. Nothing expressed should be construed as encouraging you to trespass on private property or violate a regulation.
