Just off the ICW. Depths 10-15 ft at low tide with a 9 ft tidal swing. Relative shoal area in the middle, as shown on charts. Winds were gusting to 15 kts , we arced back and forth with the current. Several crab trap floats were there, we snagged an abandoned trap with first drop of anchor. Anchor held well in firm sticky mud with about 140 ft of chain. I got multiple fly bites.

Nice spot right off the ICW with great holding. Room for lots of boats. Rocna 25 came up easily with sticky mud.

We dropped anchor in 20' of water for a overnight stop, 110' chain moderate wind and had great holding. 100 lbs. Ultra anchor. We were the only boat here. Nice and quiet. Anchor came up clean. Will stop here again.

Anchored just west on the south side in 18 feet of water not the 4 that our charts said. Great holding. You are in a marsh, the no-see-ums are plentiful.
