We have switched to squid. I use a float 30-36" deep and let it drift around. Sometimes the BGs bounce it around, a CC sees the commotion, investigates, the BGs disperse and a blob of stinky squid sits in waiting. HSB will also bite on it. Seems to hold up longer and we let the float disappear for 10 seconds before picking up the rod.
edit a local store sells a 2# box for $8.00 enough for several outings. Let it thaw and refreeze for enhanced odor...lol
