Had a brief conversation with a professional fisherman of herring yesterday (in Sausalito, CA). Noticed lots of anchors onboard the fishing boat, like six Forthills and two Bruces (the two Bruces and two additional Forthills located behind the floats). Asked why all the Northills. Response: very effective in the San Francisco Bay, although they can mess up the fish nets, so they're moving toward Bruce types.
No mention of any new-fangled anchors like those with semi-circle hoops.
