Here's a couple of ideas that may work better than just laying on the bottom.

For LMB:
How about anchoring 1 end and floating the other in about 5' of water. It would give the fish a little shade and you'd easily be able to see where it's at because the floating end would always be near the surface.

Or, float both end and suspend off the bottom with ropes tied to some sort of anchor.

For BG and minnows, the pyramids seem like a good bet.
