Cut bream, cut shad, or live goldfish.

Bream heads. My brother and I have caught some big flatheads on fresh bream heads. Seems like if the bream has been dead a while, they don't work as well.

Second that. We used to catch a mess of smaller Bream, keep them alive until we went for the Cats. They love em.


Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.

My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

A catfish guide a couple lakes up on the Tennesee River swears on using chunks of chicken breast for catfish bait. I've never tried it myself, but he sure has lots of success using it. Even if you don't catch fish, you can still bring the bait home for dinner. Lol. CD.

For the biggest cats, use live bream. Here on Pickwick and Wheeler the larger cats just can't say no to them!

Sun dried salted shrimp. Take your shrimp with the shell on and pack them in rock salt and let them sit in the sun for a day or two. stinks to high heaven but they are tough and works well.

Might give that a try. For the numbers regular shrimp have been the best for us. Should have smelt my buddy bream head, chicken liver, parmasian cheese, garlic mix the other night.

Does he grind that head-liver-cheese-garlic into a paste or just toss it together and let it ferment?

He just mixed it together in a big ziplock & I left it in the fridge overnight. We was trying a new spot & didnt do all that good that night but I think it was where we where & they wasnt pulling any water at all. We havent tried it again but going to soon as he goes & catches us some more.
