I did pretty good on Channel Cats, fishing from the mouth of the first little pocket across from the hump (left bank, as you head towards the dam). Netted some shad & cut them in half, then fished them under a float about 6ft deep ... casting out from the pocket. I was tied off to the stickups in the pocket, and casting towards the hump/flats about 20ft outside the mouth of the pocket. This was in early Summer, though, and the catfish were in the 1-3lb size range. The shad I netted were around the 3-4" range.
I did this on more than one occasion, during the same general timeframe, so even if it don't work "now" ... it still may be a option to consider, later.
