The drift sock works great I have one.
I use it if I'm working the bottom.
But I found the sock spooks bait fish like macks
I'm guessing it looks like a big fish .

drift socks are more for wind. in a honkin' current it ain't gunna matter.
water moves fast,,drift sock moves fast too,, maybe faster.

Tony;
on my whaler I used a bucket with four lines connected to it; three all the same length went to the edges of the bucket the fourth was a bit longer and tied to the back to trip and pull it in.
Come to think of it I need to find that....
to stem the wind I put it off the stern, and usually drift an eel or squid, then plug from the bow... with company or fluken I use it on the port side about 1/3 of the way to the bow...
come to think of it, I need to find that bucket.. I dont remember where I put it...

Bucket is a waste of time,,,,way too small. Unless you want to throw 6 of em' out.
Get a sea anchor (drift sock), plus they roll up and store easy.
But like the F Freak said neither will work in current, it will just move with you.

I'll gonna try both sock and bucket. I hear you guys about the wind. I try to keep things simple out there, having to pull in a sock or bucket, then reposition yourself and the actual fishing part , not to mention having to share the ocean  with tom #^&#^&#^&#^& and harry,,so having a good system is important. I'll be eyeballing the boat show for a sea anchors. Billy,even though me and my boy had a good day we could of used the sock. Thanks Pee's  : |

I had a pretty good bucket set-up that didn't work for current for this very reason. Bucket was always catching up with the boat. |
