PP is great, but doesn't always hold on a reef when water is moving and it's rough. Plus, it swings your stern into the waves which is loud and not as comfortable as putting the bow into the waves.
Powerpole doesn't fit every situation |

The claw anchor works easy. just set it down and it grabs on just about anything mud shell sand and reef. Got to use some chain

So what I've gathered here is that you need a chain and a power pole works on asphalt.

Danforth type is not the best for oyster beds. get a mitey mite/ grappler type for reefs. For non reef locations, I use a 7 lb Fortress with 5ish feet of chain. I noticed this past week end that in deeper water with current that I had to let out twice as much line for it to catch. once caught I would pull in some to have us where we needed to be.

A claw anchor is a must for the reefs. There is nothing better

These guys don't charge as much as a power pole.

Rustyb hit the nail on the head, get a claw anchor and your problems will be solved. they are fairly cheap too. make sure to use a chain as well.

I have 6 ft of chain and it sets almost instantly. They are some of the cheapest and toughest anchors I know of.

Okay Boys ran out to marsh island today, and made sure I had couple ft of chain on the anchor and it worked great. If I can find a good deal on a power pole I would jump on it, seen like it would be much cleaner.
