Anyone use lindy rigs while anchored and fishing in current? I’ve used lindy’s plenty drifting or with bottom bouncers, but never anchored. I would say think the scenario is similar…?
Coach - another option you might try while fishing current anchored is a simpler split shot rig. Cast it to the side, let the current move the rig slowly along bottom. The split shot setup is less snag prone when going more obtuse from the craft and using a split shot (or three) up a length from the hook allows quick adjustments to the weight to get to the bottom as necessary, but also not settle too firmly so the bait can move slowly down current. And, you have less rigging to worry about if you do snag. I most often use this with smaller bits of crawler barely tagged to the hook, sometimes using a slow death hook.
A standard lindy can also be effective in current. In that case I sometimes like to anchor such that i can keel the boat side to side to impart additional motion to the bait.
