I have been practically washed out to the Gulf of Mexico too many times in my sea kayak and want to add an anchor. Whats a good length versus average depth for my fishing kayak?

Under normal conditions an anchor line should be about five times the water depth. A kayak is a specialized type vessel. I would check with the manufacturer as to the safety of anchoring a kayak. It could cause a dangerous swamping situation.
It kinda depends on what you will be doing. I really wouldn’t recomend anchoring in 30′ of water in a kayak, but you probally weren’t planning on it so, if you are just using it to keep you from drifting around while fishing shallow areas I would think 20′ would do it
