Anchor > 4' to 8' chain, > anchor line with plenty of extra for angle of scope (3-7x depth depending on current) > anchor line pully with ratchet stop that is hooked to buoy > 20-25' tag line from buoy to boat. Fish-on, just unhook the tag line from boat and float away. When ready to leave for the day, use the boat to pull up the anchor via the one-way pulley. Be sure to get upstream of the buoy when doing this and be very careful if in a river. If anchor hangs up and current cathces your boat swinging it back around the wrong side (downstream) you can swamp your self real quick
