What is the best bait to use in a minnow trap?

I use corn bread.

pieces of onion and a small amount of bread
slice of white bread works good around here
I catch them with Gravy Train dog food.

I use dried dog food or cat food
I will be using a minnow trap at Smith Lake in northern Alabama. The water is about 30' deep where I will be using it. Should I sink the minnow trap to the bottom or suspend it just below the surface or next to the shore where it's only 3' deep?
Also, I was thinking of hanging it next to my light at night to hopefully get minnows AND shad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvcsw5rGqU0 Has anyone had any luck putting a minnow trap next to a light at night?
I'll be using dog food as bait.
I know I'm resurrecting an old thread but I don't think it is a bad thing.

I would put it in 3 fow next to the shore. I have never used it next to a light, but it should work fine.
We use crackers and bread
