Favorite bait for catfish?

[striperhunter90]

What's y'all's favorite bait for catfish I'm headed to center hill this weekend to try and get some eaters

The best bait depends on the type (channel, blue, or flathead) and size (less than 10lbs, more than 10 lbs).

You mentioned eaters so I'll assume channel less than 10 lbs. In that case, my favorite is prepared baits (dip or punch). Sonny's, Team Catfish, and CJ's are my favorite brands.

Sonny's gets my vote for eaters.

Cut bait. Type of fish depends on water. Center hill I don't know but maybe live or dead bream and shad

I live 2 miles from center hill. For flatheads-live bream. For channel-live crawfish.

I always thought the pre made balls in the baggy in the fishing department at wal Mart was junk until I tried it. The liver worked great for eater size catfish.

Depends on water. One of my favorite baits is shrimp. Frozen raw shrimp is as close as you can get to crawdads and alot easier to get.

What they said. Did not believe it until I tried it. Rarely do I catch cats user 15lbs.

When you use chicken breast,do you marinate it,let it rot a little,use it fresh or what,do blue cats bite it??Do you use extra large pieces or medium or small?Thanks for your help

Cut skip jack is hard to beat for blue cats. Depends on your area too though.
