As for the anchor, I recommend the box anchor. I had issues with drifiting with my other anchor, so I spent the $120 to know that I wouldn't have nay more issues. Well worth the $$.

Check out the Anchor Buddy for simple near-shore stops. That, plus a medium size sand spike and shore tie make for an easy lunch stop. Remember that for regular duty, you want 5:1 scope for your anchor rode to stay put and keep from dragging in wind or current.

Thanks everyone. I got the anchor buddy and a Richter anchor:

as it looked to be the best rock, sand mud anchor.
