I never fish with dough bait. I guess it works, but I prefer fresh dead perch or live perch. Also the chicken fajita marinated thigh meat from HEB works well. Put a chunk of chicken about the size of a half dollar on a circle hook.
And yes Blaster is right when I said in PM use cut shad, I meant throw a cast net, get a bunch of shad, cut up chunks of shad and put that on your hook. Or bring a little rod and reel with mustad cricket hooks (this is a long shank bream hook), and catch little perch on chunks of worm. Then cut up those perch and put them on the circle hook. You can also use very small live perch as well. Good luck.
