there's some stretches of the D&R Canal that have nice catfish in 'em.  I've had success in the past around the Rocky Hill area and the Kingston locktender's house.  Chicken livers have always been my go-to with the cats.

When I lived/worked around Bordentown, my buddies and I used to fish the Delaware for Cats a few nights a week through the summer..Always caught lots of Gatoes..some nights 30+.. We'd anchor on  various flats adjacent to the channel from about the Marine Terminal to Florance, and use mostly herring or shad chunks, but I think any of the baits you listed would work.  Hope this helps
