Thank you for your ideas folks. I like the scotty mounts. Seems like it would be easy to use for a multitude of mounts..... rod holder as well as anchor system. I didn't see a weight rating on the mounts but hoping for 5lbs for the anchor. In most rivers I think I'll need at least that much. I also saw the
