Thanks 10footfred. You might be right about that drift. I've only done it once. But I did have two hook ups, one of which was a nice 10# plus steelie. For a beginner like me, it was a pretty big thrill. No doubt about it, the guys at three rivers marine are in it to sell boats. But they have always given me good fishing info and they have done great work on both of my old POS boats. Good luck out there!
