Hi guys, I was watching the Dry Tortugas, it was a calm day, how many feet of anchor line did you use ?? If it would have been 3 to 5 feet would you have anchored and how mush line would you have used ?? Why don't you like to give your location ?? I would love to go there but I feel it's a waste of time if you haven't been there before !!!!!! Love your show , I've pick up a great deal of information on different fishing solutions.
Thanks Ed
Hey Ed,
We use three times the depth of the water plus the length of the boat. If we told you where we fish there would no longer be any fish for us to film for you!
Thanks for watching the show!

From Steve:
Ed,
3-5 footers are not a problem. I personally like to use 6X the amount of line per depth. So, 100ft depth = 600 ft of line. The most important piece is the length of chain. When rough, the longer the better. If it's calm you can usually get away with less.
You don't need GPS coordinates if you go to the fort, there are fish everywhere. All we did was ride around and look for hard bottom. The whole place is a fish haven! Took maybe 30 minutes to find a spot.
And the park rangers are very helpful and would be more than happy to point you in the right direction while there.
Thanks for your questions and good luck!
