Idea for shallow water anchor operation- "Anchor Down!"

[cwilt]

Sounds like a great idea. All i have to do is yell anchor down when them go fast boats pass me in my ranger...now its an even playing field.

In MLF the command would have to be its a giant for anchor down and its not as big as I thought for anchor up

I do not have anchors but watching tournaments such as MLF gave me an idea. I may be late to the game on this idea but hear me out.

The anchors should be able to operate with a voice command option. Similar to saying "Hey Siri" to your iPhone, it would be cool to say "Anchor Down!" or "Anchor Up" and they deploy or raise. Seem much better than stomping a button as well as having them mounted in multiple locations.

idea was presented to Power Pole by me 3 years ago.. havent seen it yet..

It's always windy in ND, and where would the microphone be at that rain won't hit it?

from my time living in Fargo I would say that’s a false statement. Wind hardly ever blew on the days that you can’t go.

Shouldn't you yell/say... "Poles Up" or "Poles Down"???? Wait, that could have a secondary context....

Remember this thread, it will be reality soon..

I agree. Likely not too far off either.

[stratosjoe]

As I twist the control on my anchormates I say anchors down is that the same.

[Kuhuna]

Exactly, now you are catching on...

[stratos284]

No for me, but I will holler "Anchor Down" right after my boat number is called.
