I fish from a 16' Tracker Pan Fisher (stick steer). In a 15MPH wind I absolutely will not try to jig vertically. I anchor with the stern to the wind. If I don't or the wind changes directions, it will have the bow blowed around in no time. I have tried to let Darryl Morris and Jerry Blake coach me in their hovering method. I would just rather anchor and throw jigs at a brush top.
