I like big spoons, spinner baits (both in-line &the safety pin style)and even crank baits. Slip bobbers fished over/around weed beds, you can use frozen herring sardines or any other bait fish........ but like was stated above nothing beats a big sucker, especially live. Remember these are predators and they often just sit and waitfor baitfish to present themselves in just the right fashion B4 they dart out like rockets and smash them. Good luck
