Anchor Retrieval System For Fishing

Learn how to use the EZ Marine Anchor retrieval system. This anchor system uses a pulley and buoy system. Anglers can use this system to anchor in rivers for sturgeon or salmon or use it in the ocean for halibut, lingcod or other saltwater species.

I like the ring better. Kinda likw what bigfishtom was talking about. But how we do it, is you turn the boat and have the anchor break loose then have a mate in the back corner. and he puts the ring over the rope and then hooks a clip to it that has a poly boat hooked to it. Then the ring runs down the rope all the way down to the end of the anchor and sits on the shaft of it and makes the anchor completely float. And then all you gotta do is pull in the rope and chain with no weight on it! EASY

We have a similar system here in the UK we call, "The Alderney Ring". Here we use far more chain for deeper water and this EZ Marine would stop at the chain which could allow the anchor to grab the bottom again. I can see the system works well with limited chain, but "our" Alderney Ring slides right the way along the rode, along the chain and rests right at the anchor with the chain hanging loosely. Good system you have there for short chain.

No, no they are not.

In rivers with swift currents and sand/mud bottoms, using an anchor puller like this will really save your back. Getting the anchor off the bottom after it has sit for an hour with current filling in sand and mud over it can be backbreaking. I will gladly let the boat bring it up for me, even in "only" 15 feet of water. You have apparently never fished these waters or you would know better. This is called a Columbia River style anchoring system for a reason.

Wow, 15 feet of water? Polyballs are really only needed for the ocean when its well over 100' deep... you guys are lazy!
