1) what is your preferred bait
2) have you ever heard of anybody using cut up pieces of aluminum cans?

I usually use thick cut bacon that's been sitting in the sun for a while

Something that stays on the hook well.

1.Ivory soap cut into cubes
2. Shiners/cut bait
Soap is my favorite but the water needs to be a bit murky. Catches only catfish and no trash fish, turtles, or eels.

I had 50 hooks baited with about half cold worms half store bought stink bait this weekend. Caught this one night and about the same thing the next. The cold worms caught way more than the stink bait and caught the only 2 flatheads. A friend was also running lines and he had about twice as many hooks as me baited wth gold fish and big shiners. He did well too, but didn't really have a better ratio than me, just a lot more hooks in the water. Oddly he caught zero flatheads on the live bait. I figured he would catch several when we first started.

Cut skipjack
I've heard of some guys in MS who use small thin strips of aluminum cans as trotline bait when the lines are set in a slight current. They claim it looks like shiners swimming.

Depends where I'm fishing. Normally I chase flatheads so I use blue gill or gold fish. Blues and channels I use catalpa worms, hotdogs(garlic and kool aid), chicken liver, shrimp or minnows. They eat anything

If after channel cats the very best is catalpa worms but they are not out yet. Cheap hot dogs(cut up) soaked in minced garlic and strawberry kool aid is good also but hard to keep on hooks.

For flatheads, small live mudcats are #1 and small live buffalo are #2. Xtra large shiners or goldfish, or live bream a distance third.
For blue cats, whatevet cut bait is cheapest. Usually cut buffalo or skipjack. Catawpa worms if you can get them.
I do not use any of that soap/aluminum cans bullshite.

My secretary's husband uses large cans. Cuts hole in top, drills holes in bottom and hangs them from trot lines. No bait. Catfish go in to lay, do not come out. Raises cans, catches plenty of catfish. I had never heard of this before, but sure works.
