Hey Lads,
I fish from a Dinghy, 3.3m, need a new anchor since I sold my old one last year that I used for Kayak fishing.
Deepest spots are 50m, never fish in strong wind since I am limited with the small boat.
Is a Bruce anchor 2.5kg enough - I will also put a few ft heavy anchor chain on it?

Fishing between Galway Bay and Aran Islands.

Sounds like that should be enough. we have a 5kg anchor for 17ft boat, with your bit of chain it should do grand

What length rope are you using? I think that's going to play a role too

It will do fine. The chain will help.
