    I don't jug fish but I would use cut skipjack, live or dead shad minnows, creek chubs, cut bluegill, live small bluegill, raw shrimp, and crawdads

    Here in NC the regs say that its unlawful to use livebait on a jug or trotline or any other set hook. Does that mean I can use a dead shad or does that mean I have to use artificial bait?

    crappie dan you should be able to use fresh cut or dead bait
    or go with nite crawlers or chicken liver and even store bought shrimp
    i may be wrong but i dont think artificial bait would be affective for you

    You could also use a prepared bait such as doughballs or a homeade recipe.

    #3. cut bait... Carp is the best!

    #2. Crappie heads... don't throw them away, freeze them!

    #1. Dung Beetles!!!... Catfish love anything that has to do with poop!!!

    I discovered the Dung Beetle phenomena while clean a mess of catfish in the early summer. I was using chicken liver for bait but they all had Dung Beetles in their stomachs.

    Default Raw Chicken???

    I've heard of Tournament guys using raw chicken marinated in their secret juices, and set in the sun for a few days to really get the stink going. supposedly, this is the ticket for the monster blues. I have never tried this, for fear of handling to much raw salmanila infected chicken. Have any of you other CDC members heard of this?
