Go to lake Charles poultry plant and get u 5# of chicken hearts. Put em in a bucket and throw u a couple packs of liver in there to make em real bloody and give it some stink. The. Bait wit da hearts. Catfish love chicken hearts and they stay on the hook good

other than live bream,cut bait is really good. Even did well with some chicken hearts marinated overnight in a lil garlic powder.

Heck, if you are going to Lacassine Bayou, just get there early. They will have a bunch of jug lines out for that run they are having. Pick up the fish and throw the jug back.
JUST JOKING
But really beef hearts marinated in garlic is a good bait. And what is good about the garlic is that you can leave the hearts in it with a closed container and you don't have to freeze the hearts, just put them in refrigerator.

I just us water/Gatorade bottles wit about 12-16 inches of line. If u want u can use a weight to help em drift slower. I would hang the weight on the bottom and bring the hook up about 6" from the weight.
