I like fresh netted shad best. I also like native nightcrawlers - the ones that are as big as a pencil and squirt out that sticky, stinky yellow goo. My catfishing is done on the Missouri River.
Punch bait
Dip bait
Chicken Livers
None of the above
Catfish Charlie Blood Type B. Been using it for eatin size channels for over 30 years. For bigger trophy kitties, shad or live bream.
A gun in hand is a lot better than a cop on the phone.

Jim - Have boat - will travel.
Corn, shrimp and hot dogs work for me. I've also caught a lot of nice cats on maggots while fishing for bream.
The only time I catfish anymore is in the winter time for bluecat. I use shad and shad only. somtimes the heads, somtimes the guts, somtimes the whole shad. The fish tell you what they want, if I cant get shad I dont catfish that day.
Biguns only:D
Live 6 to 9" Shad in current. Or cut shad in still water.
My favorite bait would be fresh skipjack,
