Definitely yes on the sucker meat. We've had success with smaller jigs, 4-5". White and glow are go-tos. You don't have to use jigs that are that heavy. Three-quarters to one oz work fine. Fish near the bottom but watch your finder for fish up higher. This is concerning fishing for pups; going after the bigguns is a whole nuther can of worms. I can't really speak to that. Good luck and have fun. Oh, one other thought: they have very hard mouths so hit them a good one to sink the hook. In that regard I've had better luck with braid.
The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
