Are you metering bait and casting blind or do you sight the bait and then throw the net?
Sometimes you toss blind. Sometimes you can tell they are on the surface because the surface looks kinda like raindrops hitting the water. Sometimes you see the bait in clear water. Sometimes you watch for the goony birds diving for shad.
If I had a kayak, I would set it out on the back lawn, sit on it and drink a beer. I'd toss the empty can on the lawn and then try to toss the net on top of the can. I'd keep trying until I could make the net land flat on the lawn and on top of the can everytime. Then I would drink more beer.
Get out there and poke around and you will figure it out and have a great time. I think catching bait is as fun as catching small stripers.
