The snappers I caught last week were drifted not trolled.

 yep got a few myself on trolled halcos ...crazy deeps in quantas or pink shine whatever its called . 8 and 5 meter divers...change out the singles or stonger trebles ans the snapper crush the halco ones and also dont use a clip swivel to attach them as they will undo them

 Dunno about the sound but down in Augusta I've caught a heap of small pinkies up to 40cm trolling 50-80mm deep divers on the kayak. I've found the slower the better and make sure the lure gets right down into the strike zone. 

Good luck, hope you get a few
