biggest thing to "control" in the wind is your mind … embrace the wind and have confidence and don't let it frustrate you. working into the wind is easy but uses a lot of juice, working downwind is easier using the trolling motor as a brake and using very little juice. crosswind crabbing in high winds is when i'll idle the big motor pointing the rear into the wind as a brake and using the front trolling motor to move across the spot.

the wind is your friend ...
