Anchors, Spikes and Sand Anchors

Currently I have a Shore Slide Sand Spike,

A Mantus for the bow and the OEM Fluke for the back. Can't find my other Mantus, no idea how I lose stuff around the house. I also have an 8 ft. bungee dock line. All in all everything works fantastic for how we use it in the lakes.

Was looking around and wondering, if I am going to anchor off at Crab Island as well of the beaches and such, would anyone recommend getting another shallow water sand anchor? Or something similiar such as

Looking for something compact and not to expensive.

I use a fluke in the front and a cheap fluke in the rear. I also have one of those sand spikes that you beat into the ground. Its hard to beat a regular old fluke anchor. The sand spikes i had a problem with, especially when the tide would come in over the anchor it would work its way loose. Crab Island, Destin? I think they have like 3' tidal swings there. Thats nothing, water wont be moving hard through there, so anything really should work.

We have this one, which works fine. Your boat being a 21' might need a heavier version.
