catfishing from a yak?

so i've been wondering about this a lot lately. it seems like people catch cats pretty regularly by accident when striper fishing at mendo and occasionally when fishing for bass with crankbaits and senkos and stuff but i was curious if anyone has targetted cats specifically from a yak. i've been thinking about drifting fresh cut bait around lake sonoma or mendo (maybe trying this out at spring lake to figure out rigging). kind of like a downsized version of hallie drifting. anyone ever tried something like this? any tips or methods that worked? bait/rigging and locations to try would be awesome.

Should work fine Perry never tried it but we used to lob minnows from shore at Clr Lake and reel in super slow worked great.
At Sonoma I would try the big cove across from the Marina and the Cove across the Dam where the Patrol Boat is kept.
We just used the weight on the bottom and the hook off a dropper loop maybe use big splitshot so they slip off when you hang up or a 3 way with a lite line for the sinker.
