I think that would depend on how stuck ya are. Another addition ta the anchor is get a river anchor and drive 2 piles into the bottom with a sledge hammer then hook the anchor around the 2 poles. That works only if a guy can find some hard ground under the muck.

Best thing I found is a T post and a post driver. Drive them
In at an angle away from the boat and drive it till its firm. Best tow anchor I have had.

Just do us all a favor and take it back out before you leave.

What you are talking about is a smaller version of a dead man's anchor. I think Warn used to make one for trucks, but is was big and heavy.

Can't your problem be solved by getting a Gatortail and have DDM show you how to run it? ;)

I use the 8lb danforth anchor I keep on the boat. The boat will winch right up to it in the muck. Once directly over top of it, it pulls it up...repeat as necessary.
