We castnet alewives from the pier in the spring, they are simular to a 4-5" shiner, typically use longer rods and lighter line(8-10' rods, 8# line) with a #6 hook and a bank weight on a slide with a 18" leader. I typically fish cats in the late springtime from dusk til midnight or so...

I think minnows are by far the most versatile and productive baits for cats..

Tried all kinds of baits....found thatSHAD seems to be the most productive.

oh yeah live gizzard shad are awesome for flatheads....we use clip on bells when night fishing....
