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 oceanwith 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:

And weighted is also a plus. It's weighted so that it'll open right away on deployment.

Whenever there is something in the water like a chum pot or drift sock, I take the key out of the ignition as a reminder. That's the only time I do that. It's worked OK so far.

Best regards,

Put boat in reverse works the best!! But you really need twin motors to stay stright, but with some pratice you can do it with one.

Tony...I have a big yellow sea anchor I think I got pretty cheap on Ebay. I use the for fluking when the wind is honking and I need to slow down. They do indeed work. But as mentioned for current-alone driven drift it is not much help. On smooth bottom you could drag something heavy but where you fish that would be a nightmare and get hung in seconds. powerdrifting is your best bet probably. The best way to control it is in reverse, but in heavy seas if you have a low transom you might take on water.
