Georgia has restrictions on anchoring, so always confirm your location at: https://coastalgadnr.org/Liveaboards.
While a permit is not necessary for overnight anchoring, there are areas where you cannot anchor. These are:
-within 300 meters (1,000 ft)* of marked shellfish beds, whether commercial leases or public-picking areas.
-within 300 meters (1,000 ft)* of any structure, such as public and private docks, wharfs, bridges, piers and pilings, except in areas near marinas.
* Note: the exclusion zone applies to the vessel’s swing circle.

Great video! Thank you👍
I use the navionics boating app ( on my cellphone) to give me a detailed map of the ocean bottom where ever I am. It is much better than a depth finder. Check it out. It is a life saver when I am fishing. No more snagging the bottom with my downrigger cannon balls. Or going near shoals or shallow water. I use that along with the Garmin Striker GPS fish finder.
