This might already be obvious to some of you, but I just discovered an quick, easy, and tangle-free method for pulling and stowing your anchor line.

When you're ready to pull up anchor, begin pulling up on the anchor line from one side of the boat and let the line fall back in the water on the other side .  It'll keep your line from tangling ondeck, plus it'll untwist and straighten out as the current takes it.  Once you get your anchor onboard, start winding the line onto your float.

For me, this drastically cut the time and effort of relocating to another fishing spot.
