Really good advice. The anchor you described is a "fluke" type I think. The thing you have to watch with those is don't try to "set" the fluke real hard. You might make a donation to the lake god like the other post described. I have been caught in squalls on big water and found the fluke to be very reliable.

I might try a modified mushroom anchor at the rock since it probably isn't a mud bottom. Gonna need a lot of rope like you described.....Anchors are probably the most understood part of boating...
