Im no einstein but it worked

[vinnimon]

I was trying out a few things in the way of drift socks this morning. I needed to slow my troll down at least 1/2 to 1 mph. Yes I could have purchased 2 drift socks but seeing them in use, it would take up valiable space needed behind my boat.

This am I had a brain fart at metro(5am), I asked for 2 eco shopping bags and nothing else besides some water. She looked at me a little odd and i told the quity pie its for the boat

Anyhoo. I gave it a go,one on each side and it put me to the speed I wanted Call me cheap but they worked 2 bucks compared to 100 plus.

Everyone told me it wouldnt work, haha!!!!!

IKEA bags works aswell.

Best thing brian is that its tucked closely to the corners without interfering with any lines

one or two 5 gallon pails work good too

Only problem with 5 gallon pains is they sink when you take off and the boat is sluggish until you BLAST OFF and then remember that they were still tied off :wallbash: YES three walll bangs because I know dad and I did this at least 3 times in the past.

at least it wasn't a giant danforth anchor I saw a guy on plane in a 24' cruiser with a anchor skippin across the water behind him it almost hit the stern of the boat a few times before I flagged him down .I've used the white bucket drift socks to .

That's a great idea. I'd like to use something like that in my canoe to slow dowqn the drifts, but it would be too dangerous. My einstein moment: forgot the anchor so tied up to a rock and it worked wonders

Any pics of your design? Just wondering where you cut the hole, and how long of a rope you use etc.

 

Nice idea!

design , just the way I purchased them. Tied off each handle on a short leash, just to tuck in tight at the corners of the stern. one thing I would to them is tie a tether to the base to reverse the bag while trying to pull it in. But its only 3 to 6 ft away from the boat For a buck who cares

Right on Vinni Good thinking

Can't go wrong for the price
