I just fish cats on the Red River of the North. North of Fargo ND. This is a channel cat fishery only. We use a small boat and anchor above visable snags.(down and tangled trees) then cast back as close to the snags as we can get. I use an egg sinker above a leader sanp the a 16-20 inch leader and a 4 0 hook. Usually a bait holder hook. We use cut up suckers or bullheads but any fresh cut piece of fish or meat will work. Frogs work great in late summer.
shot placement is everything.
