[cool][#0000ff]If I am specifically targeting catfish I start with my "go-to" baits...minnows, carp meat, white bass meat or perch meat...were legal and available. But, over the years I have caught countless cats on just about every size and type of lure you can think of...and even on flies. Actually made a couple of trips along the dikes at Willard with a fairy wand and black buggers fishing just for kitties...to win a bet. I won.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Here are some pics of a few of the lures upon which I have caught cats. As a rule they will smack just about whatever you are throwing for the other species. If the water is clear enough, they are efficient sight feeders and will chase down a lure even at middepth or even on top. I have caught them on topwater during a shad boil at Willard.[/#0000ff]
