Hawk...spent 20+ years on the Bay and your plow will be fine for most situations but when the mud gets really soft and silty, a
Danforth or preferably
Fortress is a better solution. One advantage of a
Fortress is that you can set the fluke angle for mud and they also suggest a mere 6ft. of chain so it would work with your current
rode. My own combo was a
Delta and a
Fortress. Outside of the Bay, the plow type
Delta's & Spades would be my choice for much of the East Coast but you need about 50 ft of chain IMHO to really set those well in 10-20 ft of water before going to nylon.
