Kayak Anchors - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have used anchor in the bay, nice for working one area...To remove, I have ocasionally had to paddle updrift to pull out.

Also, side benefit, one night the wife and I were down watching the fireworks, and all these people around us were drifting around and had to concentrate on paddling in place...I just dropped anchor and we enjoyed the show!

I dont think I would use one in the ocean unless it was very calm.

My 2 cents

I just think in the Ocean there's way too much that can happen in a split second that could be very bad if you are anchored. It's that old Murphy's law thing.
