We’re not so much into the sandbars as we are for the quiet, shady and often deep small coves during early evening summer days. Glad to see you’re logging some time but for me, 56 degree water is still too cold. Brrrrrr.
The shallows aren't that bad right now, especially with neoprene booties!

I think the mushroom will mostly work to keep in one place with waves coming in different directions, but with consistent pressure from one side, I don't see it holding.

I did just stumble across Lewmar claws in 2 and 4 pounds that seem to get good reviews and are only about $15-20. That style, though, didn't seem to fare well in tests I've seen.

What I'm trying to balance is holding power, size, and cost. Because the storage area in the direct access is a bit smaller, I'd like to take as little space as possible, which means collapsible/foldable is desirable.
