maggie, this is the reason you are being yanked around. the short line is good in some conditions , but when the water picks up you need to be able to extend the line. my line has "the HOOk" on one end a loop & a "beena" in the middle & a clip on the other end. this alows me to have any length line i choose depending on the conditions. when the current is dead i will simply grab the anchor line. if there is a crowd i will drif off the line, maintain depth using my bc & mve back when they leave. if the "SUNAMI' you fear shows up the anchor line will probably break or the boat will sink. at that point it wont matter what you do (g) ;-) < joke -john> john thanks for the defence but it was just a joke hank In a message dated 8/12/99 5:02:10 PM Eastern Daylight Time, mmowens@pa*.co* writes: << If there is no current when you're hanging, and your jon line is very long it is hard to stay in one place. With an ultra-long jon line, what do you do in those conditions? (This is why I use a fairly short line -- about 4 feet, not including the loops at the end.)
