    Default Drifting w 5 gal buckets quick report


    So today I got two buckets and used them to slow my drift speed down and it worked. I caught 4 nice fish in about an hour this afternoon. I fished with some Crappie Assassin 2 in minnow soft baits paired w 1/8 Oz orange roadrunner head w silver willow blade.

    Nice. I thought about trying the bucket trick but went the drift sock route. Just got it in today so maybe I'll be trying it out this weekend or next week.

    Size of drift sock is determined by size of boat using it.
