How does everyone pick an anchorage?

I look for a spot where there's no powerboats.

Add enough room to swing,deep enough to not be on bottom at low tide,
and shallow enough that a ship would run aground before hitting you.

Doug also be aware anchoring in areas with barge traffic.. try to
stay far enough out of the way, that a tug boat will ground it's props
as an empty can float in 12" of water, up a creek with a bend is the
best on the ICW here. The shallow water runover rule is null and void
in barge areas..I bet there are many small sailboats and trawlers
smashed deep into the mud that no one knows about.
