First thing I grab for around here in SE Iowa is shad guts.

I use alot of stinkbaits if I am after a mess of eating size channels. If I am after bigger ones I have the most luck with large minnows and crawdads

My go to bait is the bait I grew up using:) Good ol stinky chicken livers.... I grew up on them, and when it comes down to nothing else working I go back to them....Most times I have one pole setup with chicken livers, and another one using cut bait:)
