Like Lance said. Number 2 bait book with a peeled fresh shrimp and a regular red and white bobber adjusted to the water dept so it bounced on the bottom.
My good friends Glen and LeRoy Mortenson took me to Lincoln Beach and out to Bird Island and showed me this. This was in the 1980's. And in one afternoon we caught more cats than I had in years of fishing the Bear River and Willard Bay. I went on to fish Utah Lake for years many times with Glen and LeRoy and many times on my own. We caught hundreds this way. Sometimes we would thread half a worm up onto the line then the shrimp. Glen and LeRoy grew up near Lincoln Beach and fished it their whole lives. I think LeRoy still holds the state record for channel cat. We would regularly see Doug Miller out at Bird. Sometimes Carl Malone of the Jazz would be with Doug. Doug asked us to appear on a show he did at Utah Lake on Big Catfish. Rest in peace Doug, Glen and LeRoy.
