    Live bait (shad, bluegill, and creek chubs), cut bait (skipjack, suckers) seem to work best around here for the larger cats. I have padded the livewell using Hog Wild a time or two, but they are always smaller fish.

    Default cat bait!

    I guide on Badin and Tillery in NC for mainly cats and a few stripers. It really depends on what you are after. If you're looking for channels, they eat anything from dip baits to worms to shad. For big blues, fresh shad is key, either live or cut. I mainly use cut shad for blues. For flatheads you need something lively and hardy such as brim, perch or crappie. My biggest flathead at 46 lb. came off a perch that was 10" long. I hooked 2 last year I couldn't turn before they got in the timber. Hate to think how big they were. One hit a 10" crappie wide open. PM me if you need any more info.

    Here's a nice blue!

    A couple good flatheads!

    and a big mess of fish, big one is just shy of 50 lb., 47 if I remember right

    Shad, for blues. That is what they eat most of the time. They are kinda like striped bass as far as diet goes. Flatheads, I have caught big ones on whole dead shad in rivers.The shad needs to be a big one, like 8 or 10 inches long. The best bait for them though is a nice lively hand sized blue gill. I like to trim the tail fin a little. It seems to keep them from dislodging the weight from the bottom of the river. The reason for this is I fish downed trees and logs in the river, wich makes bait placement key. BIG BAIT- BIG FISH
