guys, you know nuthin about whats yous speaks. the boat is on a LAKE and you
spitting back everything you ever read about anchoring in a seaway ancitipating
heavy weather. kindly knock it off. if the guy wants to read the high seas
anchoring reports, he can do it himself.

in the meantime, the guy has the PREFERRED anchor for where he has his boat.
many boaters in those waters use a 15# or 20# _mushroom_ anchor because the
mushroom is even less likely to catch junk on the lake bottom.
