3 way swivel, 1 foot of leader to sinker 1 foot to hook, use night crawlers or cut bait (cut skipjack if you can get it) Win. Cats should be on the beds too. They like to spawn in broken rock on steep banks. If they are fish a cork with the bait at 6-8 feet and use chicken liver. Its fun fishing for them on beds. Almost like catching crappie. Good Luck
