I prefer cut bait or chicken hearts. Bream is best. I catch them in perch traps. I use Buffalo and Carp if I can't trap bream. Cut pieces about the size of a dime for 2/0 hooks. Big is not better. I only fish the Sabine River between Logansport, La. and Circle Drive Marina on Toledo Bend
Live perch or bluegill- 4or 5 inches long. Best flathead bait thats legal!!:rolleyes:
fresh caught shad is my favorite.
Eatin-size channels I like nightcrawlers and crappie minnows, big channels I like cut bait, blues I like cut bait or shrimp, flatheads I like live bream 3-5".
No.1 shad (drifting)
Now if I am in the spillway after they have run some water for a while, late spring and early summer then I would want crappie guts. Use to catch all kinds of channel with chicken blood.
Fish guts is the best bait for catfish I have found other than Catalpa worms.
I also like catalpa worms.
that is right nothing beats a live bluegillQuote:
