on 11/22/2005 Use stuff that stinks and is salty. Chicken livers work great on channel cats. Snyders pretzel bits also work great on cats and carp. Shad work good on large flatheads. Use a crappie rig if putting it on the bottom isn't working (or you're getting snags).

on 11/22/2005 Anything that stinks is a good catfish bait. I use grubs and let them sit in the sun for a day or two. I also tend to drag it deep as a rule of thumb...it may not smell nice but it works!

A little beer doesn't hurt either.
