What Pedro said. If the boat is on anchor the chum/chunks/clams are usually going to want to drift directly behind the stern. Plus there is usually more room to put all the stuff you bring on boad that you are never going to use
If drifting, the stern or bow is the usually the best bet since most of the time the boats beam drift port or starboard and you can fish either direction with out having to move. If a boat is railed most Captains will alternate drifts and if you are on the wrong side your lines will likey be under the boat every other drift unless you move.
