Boat drifting problem?

Maybe a Drift Anchor sock.

We used to have that problem fishing out of my cousin's gator traxx. You have to learn to fish ponds with the wind. In a light boat like that I always found in easier to head into the wind whenever possible. Keeping the motor in the water helps, but not all that much. Otherwise, I don't know what you could do.

Maybe some kind of drift sock would help, but that seems like it would kill the trolling motor fast.

I am fishing deep water so I can't use a power pole. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

I can see it now, 300# man makes his 80# son fish the motor.

I was thinking more like this, the drift sock I uses has a float to keep it close to the top of the water. Also tie the drift sock to back corner so when you move ahead it pulls the back of the boat out.

alluminum boats do that way more than heavy fiber glass ones.
