Hello Robert, welcome to BFT. I'm not familiar with the lake you mentioned but catfish will eat a variety of baits. Nightcrawlers, cut bait (carp, minnows, anchovy etc), stink baits, Raw Shrimp (coat in garlic salt and/or molasses, anise etc). Adding scent to any bait is a good idea since catfish hunt by smell.

Check out the catfishing forum [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/forum/gforum.cgi?category=70"]HERE.[/url]
It is the third link down. Good luck!
