Anchors away.......who uses anchors?

If you have a stable platform and know right where the fish are and it gets a little snotty we have used drift bags to great effect. Just make sure you can retrieve them efficiently and avoid tying off amidship as it will put you broadside to the waves. Safety is always paramount but they can be used very effectively and they will cut your drift in a canoe by 3/4, plus they are lightweight and easily stowed.
