Assuming it's legal where you'll be fishing, if you're fishing shallower water I've used finely crushed eggshells with decent results for panfish.  Haven't chummed in deeper water through the ice.
 Good luck-

Does not appear to be legal on Moses, Potholes or the seep lakes. It is legal on Banks Lake tho.

Skillet, were eggshells an attractant, or to light up the bottom to silhouette fish under the hole?

An attractant.  It is my assumption they looked like baitfish scales or plankton of some sort.

Good idea to use as a contrasting background, especially if I ever get to spear pike from a dark house... That looks like a hoot.

I've been in a darkhouse, but never got a northern. It is so cool. It's like looking down at a tv.

I have had good success chumming perch (where legal) with a can of cat food or cheap tuna. I poke a few holes in the can and tie a line (cuttyhunk) and a couple oz of weight. Drop it down at least half way to the bottom and give it a yank every once in a while. Most of the perch have chunks of it in their gullet. This is from a boat. No experience through the ice.

Only legal if specified for the lake in the regs book.
