Hats, gentlemen. Hats. Keep your head warm, and everything else takes care of itself. I spent a few winters at Fort Carson Colorado. Combat soldier. Spent many a cold night out in the boonies. Mississippi boy had to learn some new tricks. Get a good hat. (I am talking about a really good hat. Spend about 50 or 60 dollars an a felt or canvas by Filson).

What he said....cept I don't know bout the $50-60 part. Keep the top of your head covered. A neck gator is a must for me....and my ole Elmer Fudd hat if its really, really cold...

Good point. Going through SCUBA training, learned that 25% of heat loss was from the head. Get a good hat.

These make the cold more enjoyable:

Frabill® Balaclava for Men | Bass Pro Shops

Frabill® Knit Hat with Ear Flaps for Men | Bass Pro Shops

Frabill® FXE


And also I agree with Rees on not grabbing minnows from a submerged net. Let them drain a second or two, and they are a lot easier to handle. A towel of some kind helps too. The wind is the worst enemy during winter, which a good rain suit helps with fighting the wind.

GDG I got one I was thinking of taking in the boat. How bad does a breeze bother it?

Somebody say hats? Lets see what Steve has to say about it.

I had a radar oreilly speshul one time that was gore-tex. Dang thing was too hot for deer hunting. Bet it' be the ticket for fishing.
