Give Me A Brake, Drift Socks are the Key By Gary Howey

By Gary • June 30, 2009

As any walleye angler knows, in order to have good walleye fishing you’re going to need some wind or a “Walleye Chop”.

It doesn’t have to be a lot of wind, just enough to ripple the surface, cutting the light penetration allowing the walleyes to move up shallow to feed.

Well, what do you do when that little bit of wind you’re looking for turns into a heavy wind?

You have a couple of choices; one is to set it out, hoping the wind dies down.  This could be a several hour wait or several days and if you’re out for the weekend, you’re not going to get a whole lot of fishing in waiting for the wind to lie down.

Your only other choice is to use a drift control device or drift sock.  I’ve used the Lindy Drift Control Drift Sock for years and when the wind picks up, they’re the only thing that’s going to save the day.

These boat control devices have been around for years and are known by several names including; slow-down devices, boat brake, boat-petitioners, current-compensators and sea anchors.

Game cameras are a great and invaluable tool for the hunter today. A hunter using a camera has several extra advantages giving the hunter clues that he wouldn’t have even if you are an avid woodsman.

Cameras give us that extra edge when were trying to figure out the deer herd or scouting for that trophy buck. Cameras give you the actual time an animal arrives at a certain spot as well as the date and temperature reading, giving the hunter the ability to hunt twenty-four hours a day seven days a week without having to be in the field.

Another thing the game camera can help you with is to show you the direction animal is traveling. This is especially true if you have know where the game trails are and what direction they are going.

In a short period of time, a game camera lets the hunter know if there’s a game in the area he plans on hunting.
They’ll tell us if there are trophy bucks in the area and give us an idea as to the number of deer that are using the area.

Lastly the camera can help person with a trained eye to determine the approximate age of the deer. Game Cameras are one of the greatest tools or innovations to come, helping deer hunters to become more successful. Read more »
