I have read that these techniques differ.
In side drifting the oarsman (or kicker motor) keeps the boat at half the current speed while the angler(s) fish through the holding water. Boondoggin is essentially the same principle except the boat is traveling with the current speed.
My sources are a bit dated and it seems that people nowadays refer to boondoggin and side drifting as the same technique.
Does anyone have the answer to what term means what?
