Default anchor question...>>>

Question... for a small jon boat on a reservoir (I'm in Maryland, and I
fish on Liberty Reservoir, for those of you familiar with this area), what
type of anchor would be best? I presently have a small "mushroom" anchor

(8
lbs, I think) but it doesn't hold the boat in place -- I tend to drift.

Any
suggestions? I think the bottom is mostly mud but I'm not exactly sure.

VERY IMPORTANT TIP KNOWN BY ALL REAL SEAMEN:

Use an anchor rope that is three times your depth. Otherwise your boat
keeps picking up the anchor and dropping a short distance away.

You're welcome.
