Gloves

Get yourself some of the insulated crabbing gloves like they use on the TV show deadliest catch. we use them for picking up decoys. they are warm and water proof.

I'm sure they would be warm and work well running tip ups but they might be to bulky for using my poles

don't mean to change the subject but was thinking of some mittins like the chopper style. you know something warm that i can just pull off without having to fight them on and off just incase the hands get wet .
and i am going to use the idea of the towel this year also .
i have big hands so it's hard for me to find a pair of gloves that fit well . and as everyone knows when them brown jerseys get wet they shrink for some ungodly reason lol.

just my 2 cents and question for the evening .

What are the best gloves you guys have found. Right now im using like snowmobile gloves and putting 1 hand warmer in each one. After taking off a few fish the gloves get wet and the cold sets in. Any ideas on a good warm waterproof glove?

I keep many pair of the brown jersey glove on the boat but with the really cold I've had good luck with these "Glacier Glove Kenai Neoprene Palm with Polartec Back Flip Mitt"
seen here Glacier Glove Kenai Neoprene Palm with Polartec Back Flip Mitt : Fishwest Online Fly Shop. I use mine with the jersey gloves as inserts in them. You can also check the Glacier Glove site out for all their products. Glacier Glove - Neoprene sport gloves, fishing, fly fishing, hunting, Dr. Shade, sun, hiking, water sports, ice climbing gloves

I can put a chemical hand warmer packet inside the jersey glove either on the back of the hand or the palm side. I've sewn a pocket inside the flip mitt part of the glove so that when it extra cold I can also put a warmer packet in the flip mitt part. The extra pocket I've sewn in the flip part will keep the warmer packet from falling out while the flip part is opened off of your finger tips.

If you just fish for panfish like I do, gills and crappies.In our area we use what a lot of guys call hot dog tongs.They are like to long fingers that grab the fish and stay on the side of a bucket real easy.When you get use to useing a set of these you will never be without them.Your fingers never touch a fish and stay dry all the time.That way they stay a lot warmer.A lot of times even in temps down to 0 degrees we don't worry about gloves,just slide your free hand into your pocket to stay warm.
