Counteract the rotation with your fins. The greater the change of

Imagine as a worst case casting directly behind you.

That sounds plausible, and if you manage to coordinate your finning
with your casting it will also doubtless work, but I have never
managed it in my tubes ( belly-boats) . In my main pontoon boat, I
don´t use fins anyway, just the oars.

Well, that's the problem, Mike. You need fins. Oars won't do. No matter
how cold it is, you need fins. You have to put down your rod to use
oars. That's one reason I hate fishing from frigging canoes and kayaks.

A big advantage of a kickboat (oars and fins) vs. a belly boat is that
you can get your fins out of the water when you don't want them there,
like when it's really cold, or when you're trying to make time with the
oars.

Other than that, for me, they're in the water when I'm fishing.

And then there's the wind. Always the wind. :-)
