The only thing I can contribute is my experience. I was fishing a lake in central Indiana with family. The bite was slow so I decided to fish for CC with chicken liver. I rigged up a pole with no weight or cork and baited the line with chicken liver (the red ones not the gray). I caught a HSB right before the bait hit bottom on almost every cast!
