I've only been doing this catfishing for a couple of years, and haven't find anything better than wb. Shrimp and worm works okay in my experience and early on I caught some on chicken liver. They turned up their noses at perch, Little Smokies and hotdogs (as I say, in my experience). Kool-Aid/Jello/garlic chicken worked fine.
I hope you two can get down here and join one of our mini-flotillas soon. May's a coming. I saw 61° water yesterday.
I catch some on cut bait white bass but often do better on raw shrimp, cut bait chub, cut bait carp, whole chubs (when I can get some that aren't too huge), and last year I did great on garlic chicken livers. I have found that if I added 1/2 of a crawler to the cut bait or the shrimp that often worked well. As you can see, I like to try a wide variety of baits.
