I caught about 15 one day fishing the bridge area, They ran around 10 inches, and there was no size limit, and they are very good eating. A shellcracker finds it hard to resist a half a night crawler. The large red worms work well also. I used to just head hook the red worms, and have just about caught anything that swims on the head hooked worms. I wouldn't fish much deeper than 10 ft for the pan fish. Since i used only a long ultra light rod, a small split shot worked well for me. I used 10 lb braid, and a flouro leader. My preference was a size 6 wire hook, and many times would go downto a size 8.
