Mooch

Side drifting with the electric works really well on a bigger river like the Skykomish. I have a rear center anchor and the electric fits off to one side on the transom.

I just run it back upstream and I can control the boat and fish pretty easily. Great for longer runs. I can slowly work my way through without constantly setting and pulling the anchor.

On shorter runs or where there is a swirling current it gets to be debatable whether using the electric is more of pain than its worth.
