Wow, I just searched and became a little somewhat educated. Wish I would have known that before spending $600 on chemicals, equipment and all weekend spraying... Where can someone aquire weevil bugs?

Water lillies are the evil enemy on my lease....and the source of a lot of money spent on chemicals, ultralight airplane, ropes, anchors and oil booms!

There used during oil spills to not allow the oil to disperse through out a wider range of area. They contain the spill Or At least if we're talking about the same thing ? If so they don't allow the lilies to spread beyond the oil booms or at least till the lilies seeds spread in the spring I'm guessing ?

Ultralight, herbicide, oil booms, 4"x4"x16' posts, 4,000 feet of rope, anchors and 20" XXH pipe sections.

Lordy! That's an operation right there blue.

Sand...

Are you sure you need that pfd? How much water to you need for it to deploy?

d_white, i know that spot very well. got myself stuck there during poker run.

That's on the river side of Carl's pass if you hang the left. Ran over a little gator in the canal and wasn't paying attention coming around the curve. Glad for gator glide. I thought I was gonna have to drag it the rest of the way down the ditch since I lost plane.

What did you use to winch to? I've been trying to figure out what to carry in my boat in case I get stuck on a sandbar so I can winch off. Been thinking of a trailer earth anchor that you screw into the ground.

I've been thinking the same thing. I'd also like to know.

I wonder if this would actually dig into the mud once you get it lined up and line is tightened. Skip to 1:50 and start.

You would be surprised how well burying an anchor works.

I have pulled trucks out with a winch by burying the spare tire in sand...

I say "heavy duty". I mean the biggest mofo I can find a Lowes. Its prolly 3 inches wide or so and thicker metal. I bent to many of the regular gardening t posts. They were to thin.
I've broke probably 6 or 7 anchors...the wings just snaped right off.

Anyone have that video of some kind of aluminum paddle/winch anchor that one of the boat manufacturers were making at one time? Saw it on here a few years ago and can't find it.

I think marsh mellow made it?
I posted this in another thread awhile back but I'll post it again here. Seen one of these in a boat a few weeks ago. Idk about mud but it looks like it would be perfect for any kind of sand. It has a weighted sliding handle and works like a post driver to get it down

What about something like this (they make a 40"), if you place it at an angle towards the boat?

didn't keep it hammered!

Mud or sand you need a plow style anchor. The only way to get it unstuck is to drive the opposite way the anchor is set. Does not work for rocls/hard bottom

It's simple. get a mud motor. shoot ducks in the face.

Picked one up today at Ace Hardware for less than 20 bucks

Unless you can get that down a good foot an a half or so I don't see it working to well. Looks like it would just pull over unless you hooked up at the bottom maybr
