I fish ice fish for eyes a bit, I think jigin for them is tough, 80% of the eyes I catch are on tip ups but there are days (very few) when its the other way around,usually when this happens its by complete accident and I am jigin for perch and just happen to slam the eyes. Pimples and rapala vertical jigs work well for me. I set my tipups 6" to 1 1/2 ft from the bottom in 10 -20 fow locating some structure like weed beds and gravel bars or a combination of the 2 can make or break your day. From my expereince when eyes are bitting your gonna know it and if I'm not into them after a couple hours in one spot, I'm moving until I get into them.
