No doubt your experience may differ from mine. Just giving my first hand experience.

I have had the same experience as you MG

I've been using hog liver, from the local butcher. Seems to stay on the hook a lot better than chicken liver. Anybody have any stink bait recipes?

Cut up bait. Throw a castnet and use whatever you get. Over night drifts always seem to do the best to me but you have to get up early to beat the thieves.

Here's my secret bait, Go buy a few tubs of chicken livers and run them thru a blender.
Buy a couple a cow hearts and slice to bait size . Soak the cow heart in the chicken liver for a couple a weeks before using. Once it has 2 week soak you can freeze and thaw as needed

Fellas, I need a little advice here. I just started trying to run jug lines and trotlines on some of the bayous around here. Today was only the second time I've ever put out jugs. I baited them with chicken livers, but didn't catch anything. I don't think it was so much the type of bait, but the bait falling off the hook.

Any advice on how to keep it on, and what other kind of baits have y'all used to catch cats? I've always heard chicken liver was good, but ive heard it doesn't work as well for catching flatheads.

For jugfishing we used to use sliced beef hearts that you could get fresh at WalMart. They quit selling them so went to chicken hearts. Been three times this year so far and caught 3 fish total in our same spots we have been fishing for over a decade. Can't understand what happened to the catfish, they should be THICK this time of year. Sucks too because I'm out of catfish in the freezer which usually never happens. We launch at the Gibbstown bridge and fish the cuts. Guess we will have to look for new places to go.

I'd rather eat the bait!

we cut hotdog wieners up into about 2 inch pieces and liver. soak in a tub of garlic juice for about a week. also used dove soap. have done very well so far this year on these

I use a combo of cheese, pretty rotten shsd, cotton seed and corn
