I find the best bait is Rum and coke,It catches the biggest fish and also promotes catch and release Sometimes  smelts work  but fish aren't nearly as big

Smelts, hands down the best bait for gators.

I prefer the ciscos from Pokey's in Regina.  Seem to have a higher hit rate than the smelt, but sometimes you just have to use what is available.  Come spring, it doesn't really matter what you put on the tip-up...if the big females are in chasing the burbot, they'll take most anything.
