Favorite blue and channel cat bait for jugs

I heard it all but still think it’s a toss up between live crawfish, hot dog or cut bream. What works in the jugs for yall?

Live bream has caught the biggest fish for me.

For blues, fresh cut bait or chicken hearts soaked in strawberry jello mix.

You ever try hog liver?

Shad caught with a cast net in river / backwater areas. Free bait is nice.

Skipjack is probably the best for blue cats but usually expensive
Cut up one of those big invasive carp. Bloody and the skin keeps the bait on the hook. They dont freeze but usually free and easy to fund.
For flatheads use anything live. Best bait is live baby Buffalo and carp. Catch them in a wooden catfish slat trap with soybean meal bait. Second best is live perch followed by goldfish.
I also use chicken livers because they're cheap and easy to get. Hook them through the main artery to keep them on the hook.
Like you said live crawfish is always a good choice.

Cut skipjack or shad for blue and chicken hearts for channels

Ivory soap coated in strawberry jello powder, for channels. But be careful with the jello powder, it will permanently stain your fishing tuxedo.

has anybody used chicken gizzards? That would stay on a hook pretty well, no? And I heard to tie chicken livers in a piece of pantyhose to hold it together.

Or just use stretchy string.

Fresh/frozen bluegill caught from the same body of water you're fishing in.

I've been having decent luck with zote laundry soap.

This is the best answer, but when you are in water with lots of turtles, this can be problematic.

Jugs, 3" perch with the fins trimmed a little.
Trotline, a 3/4" chunk of eel.

No. Livers don’t stay on the hook very well without rigging something up. Fresh cut bait and hearts have always produced well for me. We will use Ivory soap when running trotlines in the river but they don’t seem to hit soap so well when we tried it in the lake.

Deer liver is my #1 and beef heart is my #2. Usually fish for blues in brackish water.

Mainly fishing in brackish water I use live bluegill, cut white trout, or live crawfish.
White trout is tied with live bluegill as far as best bait.
