We have been using live sunfish more this year and have been catching some nice flatheads & channel cats.
Cutbait is my #1 bait, but crayfish & shrimp will often produce more fish from late summer thru mid-autumn.
Don't waste your time with those little "bait box" shrimp,
get some med-size shrimp from the seafood counter & slide them onto a 2/0 kahle hook.

Scopex Pescaviva corn & Richworth Tutti Frutti boilies are great baits for rough conditions when the fish won't take anything else, especially when fished over hemp seed.
Richworth Tutti Frutti boilies can also be a great bait for 3-5 lb channel cats.
