If you just want to run the plug in front of you down the river while you float then it will work great. If you want to sit and plug plunk, not a good idea. Way too hard to anchor properly in the hole correctly and retrieve the anchor when you are done. A 12-14 foot one might be better for this but I have not tried one that size yet.
