Winter fishing help

[Zeal]

That time of year ladies and gents, I don't run offshore but I don't ice fish either.

Anyone here fish brackish water during the winter time or even freshwater fish?

Brackish water, what gear should I use? Been reading that white perch are the ticket in brackish but also trout show their faces. Yet a resident striper can be lurking (that's a lot of different line weights and lures to go through).

Brackish always intrigued me, but unsure how to approach it.
