What do you guys do for bait when you get a last minute chance to do a little bank fishing for blues?
This happened just the other day, took my net but didn't manage any bait at all with it.
Inquiring mind would appreciate any tips. THANKS!!!!

Nightcrawlers or Bar S hotdogs

Chicken breast

Chicken Thighs or Breasts, Asian Market fish, Fiesta Market Buffalo.....

I never throw away shad. If it doesn't get used it goes in a ziplock and into the freezer. Fresh shad is best, but frozen shad is still better than just about anything else.

I get gizzard shad and freeze them 4 or 5 in gallon Ziploc. Then you have bait all winter.put them on ice from the net.then freeze soon as you can they will bleed when cut them .

Chicken livers or whole frozen tilapia

Buffalo from Fiesta or an Asian market.

I have been using mackerel... limited success.

$4 for two whole big ones from the Asian market.

They had buffalo as well, but it was $4 a pound and they wanted you to buy the whole fish. Id guess it was a 7-8ln fish!

Going to start trying chicken breasts. The macks have not worked too well so far.

Spend a couple of days and do some bait fishing. Catch a mess of bluegills, maybe a couple of small carp/buffalo, freeze em whole. Catch enough for a 1-2 months and you'll be set.
