G'day reel em in. to the site. BIG bibbed minnows seem to be the best (150mm-odd). Alternatively, chuck some soft plastics or a live bait out.

Hope this helps,

Take a look at a post by Cid, hes a kayak fisher and scored a lovely soapie on a small minnow. I regulary troll small minnows for flathead and bream behind my canoe while getting from place to place, always mange to pick up a couple.

. Definitely do that.
