Catfish (better than carp) : They will eat anything - as stated earlier - generally at night. kinda like fishing for a stoner :)

Striper : I have spent many O' summers when I was younger at Lake Mead fishing for these bastards.. if they are in an active state, they group and corral smaller fish before they feast - and you can kind of see the water "boil" - that's when I pull out the Zara Spooks (looks like a floating torpedo)... If they are not so active... I will use a heavy Kastmaster (gold or silver) primarily for the weight and long casts. For dead bait - anchovies is really the top choice.

Not to sure about stripers but up here in Canada on the Red River which is a world class catfish fishery, a majority of people use cut goldeye which are a oily fish and shrimp. Seen many 40 inchers caught on these. Not sure if you have goldeye in your neck of the woods though.

Stripers only reproduce where they have a long stretch of gravel bed in which to deposit their eggs.
That's why they are found mostly in rivers and big lakes. Use trout roe with a small hook and fish
on the bottom. Stripers like moving water so use a lot of lead to stay down.

'Cats live and feed on the bottom. Traditionally the stinkier a bait the better the catfish like them.
CAN'T MISS CATFISH SECRET -- Buy a few cans of the cheapest dog food you can find and poke holes
in all but 2 of the cans. Put other 2 cans in 'fridge. Put holed dog food cans in a burlap sack (or pillowcase)
and drop the bag where you plan on fishing the next day. The food scent will attract the 'cats to your area.
Open the cold cans of dog food and cut chunks to fit a #2 or #4 hook. Some will tie the dog food onto the hook.

Good Luck, BigSteve.

Personally, I think they're trash fish like suckers/carp - catfish taste muddier the bigger they get...I stick to salmon spearing and trout :)
