Trolling lures?? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hey guys, I am heading out tomorrow in DP and was thinking about trolling a Rapala X-rap 15 while I head out to the kelp. I don't have a pedal drive, so my question comes to whether or not I will be moving fast enough to make that lure effective? I have plenty of shallow diver minnows but the seagulls have a tendency to go for them. I have had several awesome hits, only to turn around and realize a have caught a seagull. I figure at 15 feet deep, I will be out of seagull range and hopefully in Butt or bigger bass range. Do you have any other suggestions on trolling bait?

Thanks
