depends on what you want to catch...
blue cats will love bleeding bait..... catch some blueguill and then cut them in half and put the head on ....
channel chat use live bait .... but they bite worms too...
you dont' want yellow cats or the mud cats they are nasty...
lol...
blues will eat local fare..... you have freshwater clams there? thats your best bet...
we have to be watching out in arkansas some of the clams here are endangered...
but if you can use the local stuff thats what the BIG BLUES will bite.
I use the local fresh water clams if I can find them ... I know which species not to mess with.
other than that I use pork chops... I buy them from the local market when they are out of date and then I put garlic salt on them and let them set out two days in the sun.
I catch 50lb blues on that...
