Stinkbaits for cats

[El Yako]

I use livebaits myself when fishing from a larger boat, but my kayak would sink if i had a livebait tank with 4lb carp in it!
Any other ideas?

Use a fillet/slab of the carp with tail and skin attached. Hook it one time through the end so that in current it has movement and a tail. Cats dont have the best eyesight so it shouldnt be much worse than live bait.

We fish slab baits this way for flatheads a lot. Also how I slab for Rock Cod. Leaving the tail on is important.
