You could definatly "troll" tubes on your kayak. Many guys troll them in small boats on mone rigs in shallow water (10 feet) with good success. You can get tubes at most of the local bait shops. The range from about 18" to 36" with the medium sized ones working best for me. Purple, red, orange and black seem to be the best colors and make sure to rool the tube around something so it is twisted like a corkscrew. You want to make sure it spins when trolled and do not use spinning rods your line will twist. Find the largest sand worms possible and put on the last hook coming up the worm about an inch or two and coming out its mouth. you want the worm to hang straight of the hook. Slow trolling works best with turns, stops and slowing down the trick making dragging behind a yak a good chioce. When you get a hit let the fish hook itself, many times you'll get bumped and the fish will come right back and nail it. Bait is a must on these rigs and if you can't get worms clams, squid strips or power worms will work but large sand worms are best.
