was up at frandy today,fishing was good,even if it was a bit windy.managed 4 rainbows for10 pounds 4 ounces and lost a couple,so a good day as far as fishing goes.however the day was almost marred by the sight of my drogue sinking into the depths all because i had not secured it properly.i have noticed other anglers using drogues by clamping them at 2 ends to the side of the boat, is this a better method than simply tying onto the gunwale?

If you use the G clamps ,, it means it wont come untided and that means ,, u get to take it home

is this g-clamp method better during windy conditions.i.e does it slow you down better.

Whats wrong with just tying it round the seat in the middle

No mate, the drogue slows you down better as long as its attached to your boat, not at the bottom of the lake

The g-clamps simply offer a more secure attachment, as well as the flexibility to adjust the drift.

you can imagine how gutted i felt at the time,especialy after using a drogue for many years without any incidents.sarcasim was the last thing that i needed,but i suppose i asked for it.thanks for the reality check mr pirate.

It's only a drogue mate, get over it, plenty more important things to worry about in life.
