Haven't been there in a while but when I have gone there I have I caught smallies, walleye and sheepshead along with Catfish as you mentioned. In that area there's a great diversity of fish since its so close to Lake Erie.
That rod is a good all around setup for a number of species. Where are you fishing? I can point you out better on what lures to use. But the lures you mentioned work for a variety of species.
