Need some advice on choosing an bow anchor mount for my 2004 Smokercraft Osprey Deluxe. I'm trying to set it up for anchor fishing on the Columbia. I've already purchased the 26 lb. EZ Marine anchor, anchor puller and A3 Polyform buoy. I'd appreciate feedback on selecting either the EZ Marine Anchor Bowmount or the Miller Marine Anchor Nest..... especially from other owners of Smokercraft Ospreys. I'm open to other ideas as well. Thanks....

Not familiar with your particular boat, but can highlighy recommend the Miller Marine mount, as will many other folks on this board, including the manufacturer who is an i-fisher. I put one on my North River and has worked as expected. I also have the EZ Marine Anchor. Good combo.

iFisher "Gundog" is behind the Miller Marine mount. I bought mine & found out later.
Good units !

Lee Loc make a great anchor nest for a columbia river anchor that is removable.

I just picked up a Miller Marine unit at Auburn Sports & Marine in Auburn WA. Picked up the pre-drilled backing plate and rubber gasket as well. FYI: They had one left. Now all I have to do is get the thing on my boat. Thatsa ona bigga nest! Thanks to all.
I would highly recommend Miller Marine. Great product and great man who stands behind it. You wont' be disappointed.
