I use an anchor in rivers when I'm fishing for salmon or steelhead, but I wouldn't use one in the ocean under any circumstances.
I use a cheapo "round" anchor, if there's too much current, it just slowly bounces or drags across the bottom. I wouldn't use any kind of "claw" type anchors. If they get stuck on a submerged tree or log, you lose the anchor or go in after it.
