Abstract: Method and apparatus for extending the operating depth of an existing shallow water anchoring system which includes a first cylindrical member having a plurality of fasteners thereon which slide over and attach to a distal end of the existing extendable anchoring pole and having a second cylindrical member with fasteners thereon which attach to a new extendable anchoring pole thereby forming a one-piece unit. The first cylindrical member can be slidably moved up and down the existing extendable anchoring pole so as to adjust the operating level of the new extendable anchoring pole so that the distal end of the new extendable anchoring pole can reach the bottom at a greater depth than the operating depth of the existing shallow water anchoring system. The new extendable anchoring pole is also slidable in the second cylindrical member for adjusting its operating depth.
