Thanks Wakina, one more silly question. Does that type of retrieve have an advantage over a straight in retrieve on the drift line of the boat?

if casting downwind on drift line of boat you are retrieving back where boat had drifted and possibly spooked fish.Your drift speed will also influence the speed your lure goes through the water and thus your depth.Casting perpendicular to your drift you initially have no drift speed affecting your retrieve.You count down to desired depth then start your retrieve.As your lure swings more downwind of boat the drift will increase the speed your lure goes through the water and the less line you have out will both pull your lure up faster.Slow down retrieve as you bring it in to keep lure at desired depth.The guys that catch the most fish keeps their lure in strike zone the longest.
