Anyone know of a strong anchor that will hold on the slick bottoms of LL in high winds? I got skunked yesterday bc I couldn't stay anchored in place. So I had to go sight-seeing in party cove, haha (what a chaotic mess that was).

A lot of people will say box anchors. They work very well but are large and heavy. Fortress/Guardian(cheaper version, think Lexus/Toyota) work great and are very small/light for their holding power. Fortress

I am not sure where your are located, but if you are in DFW you can box anchors from ChuckP. Send him a PM.

I have two diggers and one box. I believe the box holds better with less rope then the diggers.

I use a danforth style and a box anchor on my boat. You have to let out a lot more rope out with the danforth anchor than a box anchor. My box anchor will hold the boat in any conditions and nearly all different types of bottom.

Box anchors are great. I have two for sale that my dad made. They are 14"x14" and weigh about 20 lbs. And yes, they do work on Lewisville.

Good move, been using Diggers for years and they work well. I built some box anchors to see what the fuss was all about. Wasn't impressed and ended up with a backache.
