What type anchor is recommended for casual use say to throw out the back end of a pontoon boat when you have the front tied up to a tree on a beached area around the lake? Something to keep the boat from swinging around with the wind, but still easy(!) to get up when you leave. Will be in rather shallow water. Not for anchoring out in the middle of the channel.

I have used a Danforth (spelling?) before in the ocean with a larger boat, but they can be a pain to pull up sometimes if they get a good grip. especially if set from the back of the boat around the prop. And it was used in rather deep 30-50 foot water. It was what came with the boat and I did not select it.

Thanks for experienced answers!!!
