Fishing Sim World Channel Cats

Any advice for catching these tried dead baits and sat for half an hour and got no bites not even a muskie or pike deffo thinking that deadbaiting is glitched on the American lakes

 

Pencil baits works for me I’ve caught a few on

 

Which pencil do you recommend and which area of lake

 

Find places where cats are and use soft plastic worm on “1”retrieve. dinger works good or 48 worm.
