Sailing yachts have the anchor at the bow of the boat.
Here is a great article. I own a Drop-n-Stay and they work as advertised.
There are vessels designed to to specifically anchor from the stern of the vessel. However if you mean a "fishing boat" as a small recreational or "pleasure" craft like a bass boat, it is almost NEVER recommended to anchor from the transom of a boat. This is especially true if you have any type of current or sea state (even lake or wind waves) as your stern is the lowest part of the boat to the waterline and swamping can happen fast. I have personally seen it at the mouth of the Columbia River bar located in Pacific Northwest. Not to mention you run the risk of fouling your props with the anchor rode.
u people are stupid if u cant answer this question....................just kiding:).....................i cant even answer this question!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Move the boat directly over the anchor
There are differant types of anchors ones for mud, rocks, sand etc.etc. I use my boat in freshwater where there is a rocky bottom so I use a mushroom type anchors and it works very well for me.
