    Chicken liver works but don't use it. Do you see chicken livers floating down the river everyday in your area. Probably not but if so than go for it. Catfish will be most attracted to what they usually eat. I go all the time and I've found that I have the best luck by taking two fishing rods and catching little bream and crap like that with the little rod. After a catch one I slice the little guy up like a horror movie and hook it on my catfish rod. Also it doesn't matter what you use if you don't go at the right times of the day. Most say that catfish feed the heaviest right at dusk and about an hour or so afterwards into the night. If you don't want to catch your bait or buy fresh living bait then yea chicken liver is probably your best option. It works decently.
