Fishing close or in kelp? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I need a little advice on how to fish the kelp. My mac on a slideing sinker rig got tangled every time I dropped it. High, low it didn't matter. It seem fly lining would be worse. Maybe a drooper (sp?) rig . I not asking for secrets just some pointers. I was using 55# braid and 40 floro and was able to pull free each time, but it was hard on the bait. Any advice on Landing a big fish in the kelp? I'll be out there soon at twilight, advice or not, I've got a lot of hours invested in a WSB and I'm still trying. Thanks for any advice
