How are you rigging your sea anchor? Have you tried to run it from the bow or side cleat? Side cleat gives the slowest drift. You can supliment your sea anchor with another or a couple of 5 gallon buckets to help deaden speed. Try doing things some what the opposite of how you might in a month. Cast updrtift (with the wind) and get tight, lift slow and easy, stay tight and try to keep that jig 1-3 inches off the bottom. The eyes don't chase much as the water is so cold. Forget the jerking you see others do. They are often yanking the bait away from fish. I'm no master, but it is the only method that works for me. Especially in high wind. Have a quality rod with great sensativity and 8-12# braid to add to the feel. The strike is only a tap. A surgeon's precision is needed. Think slowwwwww and don't forget the stinger. Most fish are landed with the stinger in the cheek meat. Let me know if it helps.
