Skip,
Delta makes a few types of anchors. Im assuming your Delta is their
popular plow style similar to a CQR??
If so, might I suggest using an anchor specifically designed for those
conditions you describe above..............
Your in fine mud........... sounds like a mud anchor might be a better
solution than a Delta plow.
but if you find your self in areas of the bay where the water runs in-
out during tide exchanges you'll get more hard packed sand-mud-shell.
Therefore your plow would be a good fit.
So here is your question for the day: Why would you find fluffy fine
mud in one part and packed sand-mud-shell in another part of hte same
bay (estuary)?
Bob
The fine fluffy mud should settle in areas where the underwater water flow is minimal. In the areas with sand/shell/hard mud, there is more flow, washing out the fines
