Freshwater Fishing in Louisiana

Rio Grande Cichlid

Tomorrow I am going fishing for cichlids (an invasive species of Louisiana-it looks like a black perch) does anyone know any good baits/lures for them besides worms and crickets? Because that is the only thing I have ever caught them on. The only other time I have even heard of catching them with lures is with a fly or a panfish jig on their spawning beds. Thank you for any help.

lure for panfish

little yellow popper with rubberband wings. Just jiggle it. They'll smash it. You will miss more fish than you catch, but it's worth it because you get to see the fish. On light cheap flyrod.

Cichlid

Ive caught them on tiny spinner baits. White has worked best. Small piece of shrimp works good too.
