A-Rigs have been the ticket for offshore wintering holes. Throw it out and let it sink to suspended fish then reel with a steady retrieve. Keep moving!

A little bit warmer day, some fish were starting to swim around more but most still on the bottom. Tried a few different things but only thing we could get them to bite was the free rig.

Lots of fish either tight against the bottom or suspended right off the bottom and were not interested in top water, crankbaits, jerk baits, etc. Switched to the free rig with the adrenaline craw and they started destroying it. Bottom dragging with a couple twitches and hops. Was also able to get them to come out of brush. Ended the day with around 13.
