Yo Hawk -

Check out a device called a "side planer". Easy to use and it allows bank fisherman to pull plugs effectively. Not to mention it freaks people out who have never seen them. Should work on drones. It basically a little boat that uses water current to take your plug up and down and side to side, wherever you want it to go. You can just stick it in a rod holder...no wait, that would be plunking. Some of my biggest fish have come this way. It's not something I use every trip but it is a good change of pace sometimes. I think it's made by Luhr Jensen, costs about $8. Good Luck.
