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.
