Anchors are fine, but largely unnecessary out here. Back east I used to anchor all the time chumming for stripers. A foot or 2 of chain helps hold the anchor and also evens out the swells. For an even softer ride, tie a couple dropper loops in the anchor line about 4ft apart and connect them with 1ft of bungee: acts like a shock absorber. Whatever you do, try not to drag it. Pulling free a snagged anchor is not easy on the yak.
