I'm pretty new to the fresh water scene so I'm learning. Clinch River where I'm at has smallmouth, cats, redeyes and sucker fish. The mentioned are what I've caught so far but there are others. For the most part nightcrawlers has been meat du jour but today I gave it some thought and tried..... left over beef suet from last year deer season.
So far in a day smallmouth and cat like it. Real plus it pretty tough, almost like putting a pork rind on a bucktail but not that tough. 5 bucks worth might last me a year instead of 10 to 15 a month for nightcrawlers! Not normally a fish eater but I DO like cats!
Crawdads caught in the minnow trap like it too.
