A clandestine anchored floating apparatus includes a shaped waterfowl decoy having a hollow body defining an interior area and a keel coupled to a bottom of the body. An anchor assembly is positioned in the interior area of the body that includes a rotatably mounted reel and an elongate anchor line rotatably wound on the reel, the reel configured to selectively pay out or reel in the anchor line relative to the reel. The anchor assembly includes an anchor weight coupled to a distal end of the anchor line. The anchor assembly includes a motor electrically connected to a battery and operatively coupled to the reel, the motor configured to actuate the reel to pay out or reel in the anchor line relative to the reel when energized.
