If they are not feeding deep , we use a bobber and it works on some waters.

At the beginning of summer the river I fish for cats in was constantly
changing depth by several feet due to snow runoff and the varying amounts
of flow let out at a dam upstream.. one week I would find my favorite spot
on shore several feet from the water's edge, the next week it might be
underwater.. I switched to using a 'bobber with a brain' (you can google
for it) a bobber that knows when your bait bottoms out and then sets itself
at the right depth. I did catch less cats, but I think it was due to the
varying currents more than switching to bobbers. Normally bobber fishing
for cats works well for me. Good luck.
