How do you find winter patterns ???

Our fish definitely seem to have gone into winter patterns. The scattered
feeding fish I found a week ago are gone. I did spot a feeding school of
stripers on Saturday, but by Sunday even those seem to have disappeared.
What is your method for locating winter fish?

Deep water isn't really an option here as we just don't have any... well
not the kind you would think of. There are occassional deep holes, but
mostly everything here is 1-10 feet with the vast majoriy closer to 1 than
10. I do know which side lakes and backwaters have larger areas off 10 foot
water, but it just has not been producing for me.

We worked cranks, senkos, and drop shots most of the day, but about mid
afternoon I said the heck with it and headed out to the main river to flip
heavy brush on current swept banks where I put our only two keepers in the
boat. Frustratingly, one of my buddies hooked several excellent fish
throwing cranks in back waters. The same thing we did most of the day with
no success.
