Clear Silver, I totally aggree with you. I try to run the boat the same way you do. I can remember when I started doing that on Petes bar years ago and people thought I was insane. Corey Meyer and I were the only ones fishing that way while everyone else was drifting over the bar. We got our fair share of looks but we also caught a lot of fish because of it. I wouldn't say it's a cure all but for me it works. I think everyone is different. For some people it's too much work and for others it's nothing to run into the wind.
