How funny, here I was reading your post - thinnin' if it was the Utah board Tubedude'd jump in and fling you some lures to sample. Bada Bing - Bada Boom.
Search some of his other posts - Willard, UL especially for kitty adventures. The boy knows how to find some fat cats from what I've seen.
I know he likes his simple minnows but I've seen a lot of those cookie cutters with them home-poured plastics dangling from the mouth. Curly tails on jigs with an eye - should get you along the way. Tubes too.
A lot of the simple crank/stick baits - minnow patterns - could get some attention.
I've only managed to tempt the kitty-fish with worms, dough, stinky baits. Have yet to get them coming after a lure, but I do hear from numbers of folks - at Willard, Utah Lake - elsewhere that find the hunters. They are not just bottom dwelling - scrounging feeders by any means.
Part of my challenge is chasing them in the mucky muddy carp churned waters of Cutler reservoir. Scent does more than sight in those kind of conditions. Haven't chased any up from Newton - though I hear they are there. Willard skunks me in any way shape or form it can. So I'll probably have to take the abuse again before fall hits.
Good luck. They're out there, and they're hungry!
