Those catfish are either feeding on small fish or insects and that roostertail will be a close enough match for either one, it will be more of a reaction bite than anything. Just keep the lure a few inches below the surface.

I have caught them like this several times on my lakes, I usually think it's bass of 'gills feeding like that at dusk. Then I throw the spinner out there and start catching cats. The first time it happened I couldn't believe it. Then after a couple of more times catching them like that I said "Well I'll be danged!... never thought that would've worked if it hadn't happened to me!"

Try it!
Man folks here catch Catfish on just about any lure especially when the water gets hot. I 've caught lots of Channels on Bass Spinners , Bass jigs , Crankbaits , and ect. We even catch an occasional Flathead or Blue on artificals. Mostly Channels cause here that is the major species of Catfish. The Catfish are predators and love Shad , minnows, Bream , or just about anything that passes close by when in feed mode. They will surface to feed on hatches like Mayflies at times.
