Best bet for crabs is to get a dozen deepwater ring nets and fish them in a bayou where they have cuts draining the marsh.
I agree, I don't know much about winter crabs but 'they' catch crawfish when fields are iced over, and the crabbers run their traps in the winter in 3' of water, AND a couple weeks back we were at Rockefeller and caught the biggest, fullest crabs I have ever caught.

And, shrimp are still being chased under the birds as well apparently
