For small channel cats in summer, stink bait is best for me. I get a lot of small channels then. As for flatheads, good live bait . Bullheads are very hard to beat. Small channel cats work well too. I like a 10" channel cat that is feisty.

But the fruits of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, Gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law. Galations 5: 22&23
