Anchoring at the beach

I have a 23-ft wake boat and I'm looking for advice on anchoring it at the beach.

My plan is to use a box anchor off the bow with a 14 - 50 ft bungee/anchor line. The water where I want to anchor is around 3 m (10 ft) deep, so I was thinking I could let the full 50 ft out while slowly backing the boat away from the anchor.

For the stern, I want to use two 25-ft lines, one from each rear cleat, connected to Auger Hogs on shore. The goal is to keep the stern of the boat in at least 4 ft of water while we're on the beach.

My main question is how I should rig the 25-ft stern lines so that they're easy to release from the boat. If both people are holding the stern lines while we're getting off the boat, I don't want the setup to require someone to climb onto shore just to disconnect the lines.

What's the best way to connect the fixed-loop end and the free end of the lines to the boat cleats and Auger Hogs so the boat can be positioned securely but the lines can still be released easily from the boat?

Anchoring just off the beach

Hello , I am planning a trip to shushawp lake in BC. I am bringing my 23ft wakeboat. I've always dealt with docks. So the set up I'm thinking box anchor with Bungee set up 14-50 feet. Then back boat up until I'm about 4 feet of water or so. I have two big Aug hog sand spikes. Run two 25 foot stern lines to a couple feeet of water and dig in the Aug hogs. Now what would be the easiest way for the back lines? I will have the eyelet end on my cleats. What's the best way to make the regular end adjustable. Should I just run it through the eyelet of the Aug hogs and wrap the slack atound itself then tie a knot ? What do you all recommend ?
