the best all round anchor ive found for nightstalking, where you wanna have a solid setup is the chene style anchors. they talke a little time to set, but will hold just about any boat. if you running and gunning at night, moving from spot to spot, id use one that drops over the side without having to spend any time settin em, but they gonna let you drift and shift with the wind and wave action. the chenes hang very fast in mud bottoms. Ive been using em for years and have never lost one to a hang.
listen with your eyes---its the only way to beleive what you hear...
