My first advice would be don't go. I have ice fished on New Year's Day every year (not if it fell on Sunday) for well over 20 years and I won't be going tomorrow, because of the weather forecast.
If you end up going, glow jig heads in 1/8 ounce, with glow plastics (Cut'r Bugs, tube jigs or similar) tipped with cut bait will get you into fish, if you are anywhere they are located. Tipping with meal worms or crawlers will work, but not as well as cut bait. Three of us, caught ~70 last Friday at CCE. We had our best luck in ~33' of water, on the bottom and suspended around 15' down. Jigging will get far more bites than letting it just set there.
