chicken liver is the way to go cheap and always available.Catfish gobble it up
also for lazy fishing make some jug lines out of pool noodles.

Try bait shrimp soaked in vanilla extract. About 6 TBL spoons to a pound of shrimp. Let it soak overnight. That's what I use if I can't find shad or white perch rib pieces.
I prefer to use fresh shad. A friend claims garlic juice over shrimp or chicken gizzards and soaked over night. I haven't tried it, but he claims it works good.

I take a pack of wieners and bottle of garlic powder in a bag and let them soak over night works good

We use to run trout lines in the amite river when i was a lot younger.
In the spring small "white" crawfish were the ticket.
some times when we didn't have bait we simply cut up Ivory soap and put on the hooks ( my old grandpa taught me that one ) believe it or not we didn't catch as many numbers but the fish were always bigger on the soap.

My ex brother in law used Ivory soap up on Toledo Bend back in the 80's. I thought it was crazy, until he caught a wheel barrow full of big cats.
