Practice has done it for me. But you really need two boats.

I have a terrova and it it is a bear to keep on a brush pile. I haven't tried with the foot pedal to see if it is any better.

I had a Terrova on my last boat and I loved it for spider rigging and longline trolling but I prefer a cable steer motor for fishing over brushpiles. Since I've been doing a lot more single pole fishing my new boat is getting a Fortrex.

Well before we had all these high tech toys we used a piece of conduit pushed into the bottom then tied to the cleat on the boat Old man power pole lol. I have to say putting a marker buoy out helps a lot when you are trying to hold near submerged brush . Practice practice practice or go old school

I use two anchors, one off the bow and one off the aft. Stretch them out 50 or so (further for stronger wind) from the boat in opposite directions. I let the wind push the boat so the port side is closest to the crib/brush pile. I stay off about 20-30 feet or so, short cast with a slip bobber and minnow. With practice it only take a minute to set-up and beats the heck out of trolling motor.
