Yo Ray,
This is no trick.Yes I have been on the pond a long time(1982) but I learn every time I'm on this site.I would have loved a site like this in the 80's.I learned more from this site in the few years I have been on it than the past 15 years with out it.I have always just delt with the waves and wind but It's going to be a long winter and I always wanted to try the bags but never have so this is why I'm asking.I thought I read somewhere that the bags do help a little on the side to side action of the boat.I think I would buy 2 bags for more control overall I'm not sure I'm hoping some one with my size boat will chime in.Thanks for the reply I keep all that is told to me in the back of my mind so I here ya
