My son has tried drifting before but like alot of begining drifters he hasn't quite managed the "touch".
I hate using a bobber and just sitting there at one spot but I may need to change my frame of mind...
Generally we drift with shrimp or pull plugs from the boat. I usually wait until Jan.- Feb. to stand on the bank (& drift) and hit the Grande Rhonde- I love that place!
