That's a good tip Daymere. I know alot of people around here also use canned dog food. Same senario, fill up some panty hose with some canned, processed dog food and get ready for a good fishing day.
I've also seen the old "tractor tire" trick done the same way. Tire anglers will toss an old tractor tire in the shallows, cut a few decent sized holes in the can and toss them into the tire. The catfish will go into the tire after the offering. The catfish, unable to swim strait vertically, gets trapped inside the tire. After the catfish are netted or "noodled," the cans are retrieved and the fish off to be cleaned.
I never was a big fan of baiting, though it is very effective for certain species of cats. I've always felt that the species of cats that are interested in chum were less to be desired on the table. However, I know many would disagree with that.
Just like baiting for shrimp. The shrimp seem to have a strong flavor if caught by baiting. I've always prefered naturally caught shrimp by pulling a sien net or tossing a cast net.
