Default Best anchor
I've always run small boats. My son bought an 18' Kenner Vision. What's a good all around anchor for him? Big lake/channel area.

Something about this size is what I use. Make sure you get two good loops on the toss though so it's makes a real big splash and send them into a feeding frenzy

lol... get you a homemade cajun marsh anchor (grounding rod & rope) for the shallow stuff, and then one of the claw style anchors for the deeper spots (has rebar claws)

I was thinking a grappler anchor. I have 4 stainless marsh anchors around the house.
