I can agree with this, the reason people fish on the inside during winter is because a lot of the trash fish move out and they don't have to go so far out to catch, were catchin for meat not trophies. plus the effort to catch inshore is very little in winter and fall, were catching in shallow water with plastics, it takes more skill to go out and fish the rigs that can be twice as deep or even three times as deep as fishing inshore.
