Great tip Jeff. I use this drift sock trick on the river also it works great. If a bucket is used large holes should be drilled throughout the bucket. A cat guide I know does that.
I been trying the bucket for trolling and I'm going to use another one to slow me down more and help keep my boat straightened more thanks for the info great video
So are you using one drift sock in the middle or two drift socks on each corner?? (When you are anchored & trying to straighten out boat in the wind) and what size, I didn't understand the answer.
Now does the rope rub up on engine cover? I think if I installed one my engine cover would be in the way? Just thinking out loud. Your thoughts?@@bowl830
I use a pair of 5’ or 6’ depending on wind. Most conditions are 5 is plenty. I like to use socks even with no wind while pulling the boat with the trolling motor. It seems to keep the boat straighter and helps with the speed control. Thank you for watching I appreciate it.
No sir. The only issue will retrieving the sock. Just put a long enough dump rope on it that you can pull it in point first. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it
@@bowl830 But you have to reel in all those reels on that side before you reel in the rod that has fish on it, otherise tangling occures, atleast thats what happens here on the sea
These are the golden videos that I love to watch Absolutely fantastic information short and simple thank you for sharing my friend
Thank you sir

Great tip! Thanks
Great information, thank you for your time.
I appreciate it. Thank you
I was just talking about when anchoring I should have mentioned that.
Sorry I didn’t pay attention to the video. I use my little 3’ ones or I just throw out 2 5 gallon buckets that have holes drilled in the bottoms.
Always good info Jeff thanks man
Thanks brother
Great video Jeff.
Thank you sir
Quality information
So are you using one drift sock in the middle or two drift socks on each corner?? (When you are anchored & trying to straighten out boat in the wind) and what size, I didn't understand the answer.
I use 1 in the middle most times. But if it a heavy wind blowing I have put 2 smaller ones out 1 on each corner
Couldn't see what you tied the rope to?? Also what size was it 54"?? I think I remember you saying your boat was 25', not sure though.
Yea it was a 54” sock. I have a ski rope cleat dead center in the back.
Now does the rope rub up on engine cover? I think if I installed one my engine cover would be in the way? Just thinking out loud. Your thoughts?@@bowl830
You said that sometimes you use two drift socks on the corners what size socks are you using??

It does lay against the midshaft but not a problem. When I drift I always use 2. One on each corner. It prevents swaying
what size do you use if your putting two out on the corners??@@bowl830
thanks
Your welcome
Any concerns doing this in 3-4 mph current?
