Anchor Systems?

[sinker man]

1. What do you use for an anchor?
2. Any anchors you've tried that you didn't like?
3. Things you don't like about your current anchor/system
4. Do you ever stake out?
5. What with?
6. How often do you anchor up? a. never or seldom b. ocasionally C. fairly often
d.several times per trip
7. Any tips for your fellow yakkers?

I realize a few people are just getting started but if you've anchored up 2 or more times answer up and be heard. answers for #7 need not be serious. (If you can't help your fellow yakkers out, share a little humor! ) .
