TroutFishingBear:
I have used dead minnows with great success on tipups, but I also like a jigging rapala for them.
How about chicken liver for them through the ice? I think it would freeze, but it could be deadly. I will have to try...
Minnows that are the best are suckers, anchovies, smelt, herring, any really stinky fish that gives off a lot of oils.
Any other baits that I'm missing? How about lake trout tube jigs? Do those work?

The bait I've the best luck with is bullheads for the larger cats. Caught a 68lber this summer on one and there tough stay alive forever.

up this way in the summer, they love stinky sunbaked shrimp, goldeye belly, frogs. sure love fishing for them  ;) ;) ;)

Oldfart:
You can stink up any of your best baits. Buy a jar of chopped garlic and mix it in the bait the day before you go.

raleigh:
Has anyone use the cat power bait (the brown nugets),blood or cheese and had success catching cats. I have never caught one off of that power bait stuff. I find a couple big night crawlers on your hook works great.
