Setting out the Fiorentino
sea anchor
for night fishing. We find it easier to
deploy the sea anchor from the stern and
then turn the boat with bow pointing at
the chute and pulling straight. A trip
line is a must and gets deployed with it
with a gill net light attached at that
end. Two XL orange buoys attached by a
short rope float the front end of the
chute from the top. We use a shorter
rode than recommended for fear of
traveling boat driving over the rope. We
had a few close ones as it was in the
middle of the night. We purchased this
sea anchor for the sole purpose of night
time fishing and keeping the bow into
the swell and letting us get a good
night's sleep riding the swells. This
brand is the best we found......great
quality nylon in the parachute and extra
heavy duty hardware. We wash it with
clean water after every usage.
