Don't know what it's like in the winter for Florida fish. I live in north Mississippi near the Tennessee line and around here I usually catch them anywhere from 10 - 20 feet deep on 1/64th oz. beetle type jigs in either black or white (depends on water clarity) near the bottom. I assume a trout magnet would be splendid too, but I haven't tried them out in cold water yet. Generally I move out from the spawning areas I'm familiar with until I hit 10 feet deep and keep fishing and moving out until I find them - I haven't used electronics in my fishing. I watch youtube videos of a cheerful old fellow that called himself Juanelo catching panfish in the winter up in Ohio and he usually uses a jig head with just a meal worm or two on the hook and seems to catch them pretty well even in some videos where it is snowing on him. He's fishing his own private pond and doesn't seem to be fishing all that deep most of the time.
