Worms, shrimp, catfood, crawdads, dough baits, liver, cheese, cut up trout, corn and a couple other things I don't remember. I saw 2 huge ones tearing into a dead trout one summer and thought it might work. They ignored it and continued tearing at the carcass. I can use shiners but have to be dead here. No live fish for bait. Maybe I need to use the guts of a trout for bait.

Only thing that has ever worked is nightcrawlers.
