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.

my BIL told me about it. his coworker said thats what people in oklahoma use, but i cant imagine it being more effective than live perch/shad/mullet.

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.

They will bite a bare hook so I'm sure the aluminum thing would work

I am so interested in trying this.
Have heard people use Ivory in Miss and Alabama with great success.

I know some guys that fish with pieces of hot dog weiners, but never tried it. I always used cut bait or shad.

Don't you have to microwave Ivory and stir it up while hot so it doesn't float?

We never did that as a kid and it worked fine. I don't remember, but we might have had weights on each end of the line too.

I remember my cousins doing it when I was a kid. Plus they would form the soap around the hook while it was still warm and malleable.

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

I melt it down with some added water and then add some garlic powder. Then put in ice cube trays to cool and then hook them up to trot lines/jug lines in Oklahoma.
