I use that method a lot in our creeks and rivers -- it works pretty well for me.

Mine tends to drift bow first, meaning we are hanging our line off one of the back corners. But this all depends on the tide and winds.

my 18 does that also..not so much side to waves but about 45 degrees..

I was drifting thru the rips and they were pretty steep, it was ok but we were drifting like you guys say almost beam to.
My buddy took my 5 gallon pail and the line I use for launching the boat and walked out front thru the windshield and thru it in the water, we ended up drifting with the bow taking the waves and it was nicer.
When the wind came up and I had the bimini and front part of the enclosure on it drifted better also.

With the top up, my V-like boat drifts stern to the wind.

I've not been here in awhile but thinking on it mine drifts pretty mjch the same way smoother than any boat I've ever been on in any seas room for plenty of lines off the side glad to be back with you all

Welcome back.

There are a lot of people that pop in and out,
but I think we all agree, a V owner is always welcome.

Are you close to Stinky-Hooker?

I'm always either under way getting there or trolling. I will drift a bit take notice next time I'm out.

I like to bottom fish, my wife says I can fish often if I keep Grouper and Snapper in the freezer.......so I often drift, but I will put out a couple of lines w/ ceegar minners and grab a few kings and mahi's while I'm at it.
