Deep dropping in wind and current can get frustrating fast — especially when your line starts scoping behind the boat and you’re forced to keep backing down.
In this video, Blane and I put the BLUEWING drift sock to a real-world test to see if it can help keep our deep-drop lines more vertical without constantly using the motors.
We also compare **flashing vs. steady deep-drop lights** while catching tilefish and black belly rosefish.
Then a frigate bird starts circling the boat… so we get the deep-drop gear up, troll through him and find a few mahi!
