Harry I only use the bounce ball when I don't have live bait you drag it across the bottom and it made to a track fish with all the comotion, it put a lot of drag on your kayak I have done it before and it a nice little work out, and you better hope you don't snag the bottom.when I kayak fished the bay I would always check the tide for a big movement of water that's when the clams on the bottom open up and the bass feed and I would go the same direction of the tide and scrape the bottom with a 3in gulp shrimp on one spinning pole with 8lb test and my second pole was a bait caster with braid and florocarbon leader which got a 32 in halibut with a chartreuse twin tail scampi with a red lead head just paddle with the tide and keep both jigs scraping the bottom and you will get a leagal halibut if you put your time in.I would plan my trip going with the tide and turn around when the tide would change to come back fishing both sides of the bay in one trip good luck.I launch at two places tidelands park and shelter island depending on which direction the tide was going
