Agreed. I've caught cats on small trout nymphs, but no artificial is a match for bait, IMO.

Depends on what they're feeding on, and tipping it wouldn't hurt either... Crawdads, minnow patterns, buggy looking things, ect would all work... I'd expect mostly channels.

Catch them on most any crappie jig in the summer fishing over brush and even have caught some in the spring long line trolling. Have not been trying to do that, but it just happens.
