I think since were talking about fishing kayaks and playing some ska, we need some reel big fish playing in the background :)

Try a salvage shop that speciallizes in home supplies. They were common years ago, and when older homes have windows replaced they are usually just thrown out now.

It should be at least twice the depth of the water. It would mainly depend on how much current there is.

hey, is an 8 pund mushroom anchor to heavy for a sit on kayak?

That will work, but may be more than is necessary. A lot would depend on how swiftly the water is moving where you are anchoring.

i heard you could use one of those retractable dog leashes for keeping your anchor line neat, do you think that line is strong enough?
