Using boat drift sock on float tube

[pontoonman]

Once I plan a trip and find it is too windy when arriving, most places will have a protected cove or an alternate feeder creek which will be protected, and can be worked. Better than canceling and wasting time and money. Dragging anything to slow you seems counterproductive. Seems like it scares off finicky species, and just sends you randomly where the wind blows, so your advantage of precision control or hovering over a school is lost. Also, what happens if your drag line/wind sock gets snagged besides the potential for loosing your drag setup? Would you get flipped, swamped with waves breaking over, or sink lower because of a downward pull?
