I made my anchors out of a 5-gallon bucket and an eyebolt, a couple of big washers and a nut and an 80lb bag of quickcrete. Mix the concrete in the bucket and insert the eye bolt with the washers and nut on it then tie off to the eye and dropped it over the side, I tied the rope to a fender for a float and left enough slack to be able to hook it and tie off. I pulled the bucket so that the lip that was left caught on the rocks and bottom. I have a Four Winns 220 Horizon and it held the boat in place even with the biggest of waves on the fourth of July. I have a picture of one of them out of the water if you'd like me to send it just send me an email.
