Yes, certain types of smelly cheese can be used to catch freshwater catfish.
Carp will bite many types of baits, including cheese. But in lakes where catfish species occur, the catfish will probably get there first, as cheese balls are great catfish bait. Try corn, or doughballs sweetened with strawberry or vanilla flavorings for carp.
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.
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

Powdered sugar and/or sweetened condensed milk works great for me. I make a killer cheese dip bait. Sticky, sticky, sticky and catches fish too.

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.
