You already know that the weather and environmental conditions rule where the fish will be, and how they will react. Surface Temp, Wind Direction, Sunlight Penetration, Cloud Cover, Cold Fronts, Rain, Water Color, Water Depth, BAIT Location, etc. It's hard to put together some days, but withstanding the cold fronts, and changing conditions, they hold their patterns pretty good all winter, kinda like right now. The electronics you have should eliminate bad water, and give you the basic info you'll need to locate the fish. I just wish the electronics would tell ya which ones are biting on any given day. ;-)

Don't worry about your rigs, that's the easy part.
