i know this may sound strange but try using pieces of old chicken liver or balls of dough with some cornbread mixed in.

Easiest way to catch catfish and avoid bream is to use chicken livers. They are cheap, plentiful; great bait for catfish because they stink. Catfish are not visual feeders, they are olfactory feeders; so a 1 oz sliding sinker and a treble hook with livers is the way to go.
