My buddy does pretty good on the cats in the schuykill with his fly rod. He got a couple that were around 10 lbs this year on a crayfish pattern. He got one hog carp that was pushing 20lbs on the same pattern.

I fish cats all year (unless there is ice) in the big O all over from Fulton down to the harbor. Went last night for about four hours. Caught 14 ranging from 3 up to about 12 pounds. All on cut bait. Anybody interested drop a PM, I've got quite a list of spots that are quite good (all fishing from boat). Cut sunfish and chubs are my favorite on a 4/0 Gami circle hook.
