I have got to get out and catch some fish after being cooped up in the house all winter. A friend of mine made an A-rig for me, and gave me some supplies to make a few more. My question is are they productive in the winter? Either in small ponds, or a big impoundment.

If they are, how do you fish them in the winter, and what type of structure should you try fishing around when the water is still very cold? At what depth should you look for bass that would hit an A-rig?
