Dead stick with a micro jig and maggots, tip up with just a minnow. And a comfy chair.
Eventually something will eat one or the other. Best ever ice walleye hit the tiny jig, only fish I caught that day. Got a few whites as well here and there, and the very odd pike on the tip up.
I have never had success with the super aggressive approach. Not saying it won’t ever work, but you are dealing with a cold blooded animal in almost frozen water…they aren’t active for a good reason.
