I got a 20' Wooldridge Off Shore Super Sport with a 150 Yamaha and a T8 trolling motor. The boat is biatch to control with the trolling motor in the wind. I have never used drift socks, so I am looking for a little advice on whether some properly deployed drift socks will help keep the boat straight when trolling in the wind. What size and where is the best place to deploy them?

Mostly this is for the Columbia River fisheries, where it can get a little tight between boats while trolling.

Thanks.
