Abstract: A shallow water anchor system configured to secure a watercraft to a location in a shallow body of water. The shallow water anchor system includes an L-shaped mounting bracket coupled to the watercraft. The shallow water anchor system includes a mount sized and shaped to be coupled to the L-shaped mounting bracket. The mount includes an attachment member sized and shaped to be coupled to the L-shaped mounting bracket. The mount includes a support extending from the attachment member and extending at an off-right angle from the attachment member. The mount includes a channel coupled to the support and extending substantially perpendicularly therefrom. The shallow water anchor system includes a spike sized and shaped to extend through the channel and be held thereby.
