Chunks of fish, chicken livers, hot dog chunks, worms.
you can use bluegill or you can go to a store and buy catfish bait
Out of Doughbait, shrimp, and other stuff, I find Chicken Livers to work the best out of all baits. Hope this helps and good fishing :) Try using soap. It is a very effective bait for catching catfish in the rivers. Rednecks Catfish Bait Soap is a catfish soap bait. You can find it at www.catfishbaitsoap.com There are also a lot of baits listed on www.whiskerkitty.com
LIVE BAIT, perch or small carp about 1 to 3 inches long
The main foot catfish eat is crawdads. The crawdads are probably the best bait. The meat from the tail of the crawdads is the best. Just remove the shell from the tail of the crawdads. You can purchase crawdads at any tackle shop or catch them yourself with a crawdad trap. Also, any kind of cheese is a good bait for the catfish. You only need to cast 25 feet in front of you to catch the catfish.
The best tasting catfish is the Flathead catfish. The best meat on a Flathead is the belly meat. I believe Flatheads taste better because they mainly feed on live bait, where other catfish eat just about anything.
To prepare and use frozen cut bait for catching catfish, thaw the bait in the refrigerator overnight. Cut the bait into small pieces and remove any excess moisture. Thread the bait onto a hook and cast it into the water near structures where catfish are likely to hide. Be patient and wait for a bite before reeling in your catch.
you could use many things but chicken livers work the best
Trout chow, moistened and wadded on the hook into a firm ball.

Georgia lakes have populations of blue, channel, white and flathead catfish as well as three kinds of bullheads, often called yellow or mud cats. Worms and stink bait seem to work the best.
You can purchase frozen catfish bait at most outdoor sporting goods stores, bait and tackle shops, or online retailers that specialize in fishing supplies.
