I don't know a lot about your winters, however I live in SE North Carolina
and all I can say is Heck Yes For Winter! That is when the fishes school up
tight out in open water. They are no longer scattered all over the place.
You find them and then you simply pick them off one at a time. Vertical
Jigging most often does the trick. Average temps hover around high 30's up
to mid 40's most of the winter. On real nasty days: wind-rain-Real cold:20's
I spend my weekends building structure{underwater hurdles}. I LOVE WINTER
FISHING in the SOUTH!!

Bill:
Use fluorocarbon for leader material. I find a quality limp mono is the
best all around line for use on spinning tackle. Spinning gear does
tend to birds nest from time to time but it's usually caused by
improper line spooling such as refilling off the packaging spool
imporperly. Often guys put to much line on. Don't let that pimply faced
kid use one of those line machines they have at bait shops. You'll end
up tearing it all off.
You get what you pay for with lines so don't cheap out and buy the
limpest line you can find and remember what I said use the fluorocarbon
for leader material in snaggy stuff.
