Every time I use this method all I catch is 5 lb bass. And by the way that is how I like to catch my bass. To heck with all the lures and spinners. Bass love bluegills as much as flatheads do so feed them what they like.

Well then try cutting then up use the heads an the belly. Might keep some of the B@ss off them it won't keep all as I catch some on cut bait.

That's how I catch my bass. I usually wait until about an hour before sundown and then get the kids to start catching gills. That pulls the big bass in to feed and then let them have it.
If I go to the river than I'm all about the live gills and dead goldfish. Those seem to be my best river baits for all catfish.
On the farm ponds tho I use pretty much chicken livers. If I don't get a bite in 20 minutes I reel in and rebait. Usually works pretty well for me.

I have to Agree 100%
from 1-2" live bluegills or weave about 2-3 smashed ones on a #2or3 Gamakatsu octopus .If the cats are there they will tear-em up IMHO.

If i am fishing small ponds that are only a few acres in size and i know there are cat's in there, i never leave home without my Sonny's dip bait.
