I've got the same setup as Steve C. Get a 6 to 9 pound Danforth anchor, at least 10 feet of heavy-ish (maybe 3/8 or 1/2) chain, and enough line to give you at least a 4 to 1 ratio of line to anchor depth. The chain keeps the anchor from lifting and acts as a shock absorber for wave action. I have a heavy canvas bag too. We don't all have beaches to run up on!
