I’m mostly going after big flat head and blue cats so I’m taking a perch or goldfish about the size of your hand and putting them on the bottom. It’s been a successful strategy but the last few years the turtles have been taking over to the point that I can’t keep bait on long enough to actually attract what I’m after.
Edit: I should say that not all the lakes around here are overrun like that but the one I was fishing Friday is.
