Drift boat anchoring issues

I am having issues with my doat swaying violently side to side on anchor. I just fished the hump and watched all the other boats sitting there dead still on anchor while mine hunts back and forth like a flat fish #-o

Here are the specs:

96 Alumaweld 16' Pro Guide model.

Side anchor (is this the problem)

#30 pyramid anchor

I use oar rites on my oars, it doesnt seem to help weather there in the water or out

Never heard of a side anchor but I bet thats the problem. I heard the hump is kinda dead but satsop is on fire.

yes, I would agree. I don't own a drift boat but it seems to make sense. I have a two person pontoon boat and when anhored it's very senstitive to weight adjustments. Having the anchor off center would likely cause the same problem.
