??-anchors vs tournament rules

I get really tired fishing all day, especially standing on one foot while operating the t-motor with the other in high winds. Yesterday was a killer. High winds all day. Batteries died with 1.5hrs left to fish a club tournament. The Ga BASS Federation handbook implies that anchors can be used with the premise that "the boat anchoring first has control over a 50ft radius surrounding the boat". Are there any tournaments which prohibit the use of anchors? 		Da

I have never heard of such a restriction. I have seen a couple rules that give an extra area of protection or a more specific area opf protection against encroachment by competitors if anchored or if a marker bouy has been set out.

I carry an anchor and a hundred feet of rope in both of the boats I use regularly. I have had circumstances a couple times when that was the only way to really nail myself in place to fish a spot effectively. Pissed off some fellow anglers when I anchored and tossed a marker on either side of my boat. When Carolina rigging or drop shotting a deep ledge or hump on a windy day its really the only way to go.
