No don't take a break from catfishing do both.[cool] I bass fish and catfish. Anyways bass fishing with a black jitterbug is a great lure to use. I use 5/8 oz. Black Jitterbug. Just wind it in just fast enough to make it gurgle or bubble depending on what you call it. Cast it and wait 15 Mississippi seconds. you know 1 Mississippi 2 Mississippi and so on then reel the jitterbug in. Try pausing some in the retrieve vary between pause and reel and just a straight reel it in with no pause. I just got 2 lb 15 inch Large Mouth Bass on one. Tip number 2 I learned this from my girlfriend's father who learned it off of some fishing show don't pump the rod like you do in catfishing. Point the rod tip towards the water and direct it away from the weeds but keep the tip down. It keeps them from jumping out of the water.
