Allot depends on the type of material on the bottom. I have yet to find an anchor that does well in oyster shells. They are pricey but the fortress aluminum anchors are extremely light and bite quite well. Anchor holding power is more about the fluke angle than anchor weight.
ETA: adding several feet of chain will help your anchor tremendously.

The oyster shells in Lake Ponchatrain/ Lake Maurepas are my biggest problem. I dont do much fishing anymore and mainly use my boat as a pleasure boat. I like to anchor out and swim around.
