can anybody give me any tips or tricks obout catfishing

Well I like to use cut bait like cut bream or shiners for blues and channels and live bream for Flatheads

I use basically  carolina rig with a 2 or 3 ft leader and I put a small float about 4 inches from the bait it floats your bait off the bottom that way and the cats see it and eat it good

thanks i bought some shad cutbait and some blood stink bait will that work good there is channel cat and blues
