Wind from the West, Fish bite the best

Wind from the east, Fish bite the least

Wind from the north, do not go forth

Wind from the south blows bait in their mouth

Luckily, technology is catching up with Mother Nature, and dare I say it, outsmarting her. This is in no small part due to the expertise of the experienced angler.

Be The Fish

Before one deciphers how to find the fish, it is important to understand the food chain. The first thing one must know is how light conditions in the water effect fishing. When the sun is out and the water is crystal clear, there is an abundance of phytoplankton in deep water. Phytoplankton attracts zooplankton. Why? Because zooplankton feed on phytoplankton. This is important because baitfish feed on zooplankton. Of equal importance, baitfish are what every lure in the tackle box are attempting to mimic. When the fish you want to catch are deeper, it’s important to keep this in mind.

When the wind rises, the sun cannot penetrate the choppier water.  This means phytoplankton and the rest of the food chain rise to the top of the water. In fact the phytoplankton is further blown by the wind causing it to mass at the shoreline of the wind break. Low light conditions are advantageous for the fish who hunt and for the fishermen who know how to target. Low light makes it easy for fish to hide in shadows, as they can effectively hunt their prey. For fishermen, low light camouflages less-than-perfect lures and convince fish that the shiny lure is actually a fish worth biting into.

Get The Solution

Staying in one spot so you can work an area can be a challenge in windy weather. Yet smart fishermen know that the right equipment can give them the stealth they need to successfully land their catch. Bass fishermen and other shallow water fishermen gravitate towards the Power-Pole shallow water anchor to help them stay where they want to be, even in windy conditions.

With lengths that range from 4’ to 10’, you can choose the Power-Pole that best suits the areas you fish. It silently deploys thanks to sophisticated hydraulics, and does not disturb the water, the fish, or the lake bottom. Even in windy conditions, the spike at the tip of the anchor keeps you solidly in place.

The Power-Pole Drift Paddle attachment also works beautifully when fishing in deeper water. The easy-to-attach Drift Paddle lets you effortlessly stay in the area you choose so you can work it effectively. It slows your boat down by 50% letting you systematically work the area you choose without disturbing the fish, regardless of wind conditions.

Shallow water anchors are the solution you need to become the master fisherman you want to be. Conquer the wind and anything else Mother Nature sends your way. Doing so will further your ability to land the trophy!

Making Drift Socks Obsolete

While the Power-Pole shallow water anchor was originally designed to hold your boat steady in shallow water, the addition of the revolutionary drift blades to a Power-Pole lets you work an area in deeper water the way you want to in any conditions. Drift socks have traditionally been the tool of choice to slow down your boat so you can work the area you want to work. However, the Drift Paddle does it better and more easily.

Cumbersome, heavy and messy are some of the adjectives used to describe primitive drift socks. The drift paddle is sleek, lightweight and easy to use. It lets you control drift speed and the direction your boat is heading without all the drawbacks of the drift sock.

For freshwater or saltwater use, the Drift Paddle locks onto your Power-Pole anchor in one of 7 different positions to slow your boat by up to 50% with the press of a button. You can change direction from starboard to port or counteract wind and current easily and effectively, so you don’t drift away from the perfect fishing area you have found. Instead you will quietly drift through it working the area the way you want to, with or without a trolling motor.
Quiet as a Mouse

Do you remember those first times you went fishing with your dad as a child? He told you about the importance of not spooking the fish. Make a splash and you will scare them away. The Power-Pole Drift Paddle gives you stealth to sneak up on fish.
