Nice anchorage. Anchored closer to second bend to protect us from NNW winds. Got lucky on first try setting hook. Our buddy boat tried 5 times, eventually rafted to us. Seemed to be more rocky than mud. Anchored in 20 ft of water. Although we swung greater than 180, we held.

We went up to the second bend. Very quiet and peaceful. We changed direction overnight but the anchor came up clean and we had plenty of depth all the way around. We dropped the anchor at 15 feet deep.

Turn towards RDB at mm 366.3 center channel going upriver into the Tombigbee River channel with a minimum of 14 feet on entry and 30 feet at the icon, shallowing up after that. Recommend that you consider anchoring at the mouth of the river 100 yards off the channel in the 14 foot bar area for best scope and holding. Wake protection will be less but you still have good wind, wave and current protection and at night, it is going to be pretty quiet. Cell phone coverage is good with 2 bars for Verizon and ATT and 2 bars T-Mobile 5G.
