chicken hearts for bait

I use chicken livers,but was wondering if anybody uses chicken hearts?Last week at Conroe it seemed like the cats were sucking the livers off and hearts would stay on longer.Thanks

dont know if you have tried using shad or not. that is usually a never fail option for me.

No it don't work I try it before,,,, but it deep fry work with budweiser hahahahah

hearts dont work too good it seems

Beef heart stays on longer.
Tight Lines!!!

Hey,thanks for the replies

Where are you buying hearts? We used to eat them all the time and I have been trying to find some to cook but cant!

HEB(18th street)has plenty of them,about $1.00#

I like them fried too, but I've had some pretty decent luck catching blues and channel cat with them.

They work mix a little sticky dip bait in the heart chamber with them, but cut shad is better!

Brookshire used to sell 25lb. bags or special orders

i USED to have some luck with chicken hearts, but the shad took over my hooks!

Any of asian food maket have them.

i use to ude chicken hearts with good luck and like how they stayed on the hook. I used them as well on trot lines and they tore them up.If yu can find the hearts--its good bait.

I have never had any hits on hearts

malones or even fiesta (sometimes) stocks them

I don't know if you have ever tried this, speedracer, but a man showed me a trick one time to helping the livers stay on the hook better. Find you a spool of sewing string and put a good few wraps around the meat after you have put it on the hook. It has helped us.

I know a oldtimer who uses chicken hearts on his trotlines in Lake Livingston. He catches more than he can give away. No kidding

I use to use hearts when I was a kid in the 60's and caught a lot of cats. I did not know you could still buy them. We also use to dice them up and catch buckets full of bluegill.
Brings back lots of memories!

Caught a few on hearts 4 or 5 years ago, stick with Danny King's now. Nothin else works better for me.
