I have used salmon and they don't seem to want it. Skunks like it tho. I also have tried pork and beef.....not much luck there either. Barrells of crushed granola bars, candy bars, syrup and marshmallow or fruit filling seems to have worked best for me. I have not tried pastries and breads, but friends have, and have had good luck with them. Pour some fryer grease aroound your bait site so the bears walk in it and track it out thru the woods. It will help attract other bears. They also like popcorn and peanut butter. I have also heard of people using dog food.

Try to keep things small in size so they stay at the site to eat. Otherwise they will grab and go.

Good luck !
