Frank, are you in there? Lol. Looking good my friend. Praying for your successful surgery and complete and speedy recovery & healing!

Yes sir Merle, That is Fat G-Daddy Frank inside that Yellow Dog Bus color Arctic Armor. LOL. Thanks on the prayers for a speedy recovery! I am very hopeful.

Frank, praying your surgery goes well and your recovery is quick and complete.

Here's a really warm sweater.

Thanks Big Sky I have high hopes of seeing you at Blackwell again!

Lots of Good advice.
Best thing I can add is some hand warmer packets HeatMax HotHands Hand Warmers, 40 pairs - Walmart.com

My choice for below 20 degrees
Military Surplus Polypropelene Long Johns plus polypro balaclava and Sock liners
Fleece Pants and Hooded Fleece jacket
Dickies WP15000 waterproof padded coveralls
Army Surplus Mickey Mouse Boots
Topped with a Mustang Survival Vest


Above 20 degrees I have a 6mm Neoprene Drysuit that keeps me warm and dry when worn over the polypro and fleece combo. I bought it used at a dive shop because it has some wear and a few holes that allow it to leak. Holes were patched and are waterproof but divers dont want to take any chances. Fall winter fishing for me means rain and wind and 25 - 45 degrees. Sitting in a boat you can get cold in a hurry and wet and cold does not make for a fun trip.

I do not like auto inflate PFD's for winter, If something goes wrong, I figure I may not be able to react fast enough. and yes, I've taken an unplanned swim in 34 degree water, you do not have a lot of time. So I use a class I life preserver, For the boat, a ski ladder on back is a wise addition

AND - DO NOT GO OUT ALONE.

Amazing how one picture can remove any semblance of manhood.

ROFL! I saw this thread going that direction after selfies started popping up.
