WB, don't care if he gets wet anyhow. You all have stated several times. He ain't got enough sense to come out of the rain.
Ps. Look up frabil storm suits xfe. Good stuff.
GDG. Just shoot me if I ever get old enough to give up cool for cozy.

OK.....now that I have a migraine from wading through 9 pages........
I do want the bibs (and coat, just not sure "parka" or not). I have a couple cheap suits, and have had a wet neck more than once, not so bad when it's warm, but don't want it at this time of year. Also, the pants either have elastic, or not large enough leg openings to fit my new boots (and most you can't get a big boot through anyway). Plus I don't like wearing a bulky layer to stay warm under them, it's just too constraining.
So even though I don't want cheap (including FroggToggs, I'd considered them), I don't want the most expensive there is either, can't afford 'em. I used to buy cheaper clothing because I was always wearing them out, but that isn't the case now, especially for something like this, so I won't mind spending a bit more since quality costs.
I did remember BigH offering a mailing address, thanks! but I'll be making a trip to BPS in a few days. I'd rather be able to try them on, since I haven't a clue what size I'd even need. And, it'll be nice to walk-out with a pair that I know will fit, and I've visually inspected (for damage), and not have to fool with the possibility of returning something.
Thanks for all the input :ThumbsUp
I've pretty much decided MS is gonna be my new winter "home", so I want something geared towards this climate (which isn't to say they won't work elsewhere).
Both are great suits so you can shop for the best price and not go wrong. Also, both companies will run a sale for 40 - 50% off and I think the pro equals go on sale in January.

Hoping to stick around until maybe early March? Dad will be headed back (from Florida) shortly after, and it'll take me a while to get settled back in (and fight-off the depression of being back there), but I'll be anxious to see him again. Plus I've got some "projects" that I'll need to tend to (trailer repair being a big one), and need to figure-out something I can get that's a bit more user-friendly than this kayak. Wished I were able to come back in spring, but financially unable to. If I did, it would cut my Winter next year short.
Get you a 1448 Jon with a 25 and you can fish anywhere except in big wind. U can pick em up cheap down here - 1,000-1,500 and I you have the budget of 3-6k you can get a nice deck layout on the front that will put you in high cotton. Easy to tow, economical on fuel, stable and all anybody really needs.

Neon you need to look at building a rack on top of your trailer with a crankup system to pull a boat onto the rack for hauling. Find a 10ft Pelican boat. You could build a breakdown transport system that would fit in trailer. Very stable boat,can use small gas motor or large troller for power. Easy one man handling.
Just buy ya a nice little used rig from me, and leave it at my place till ya come back. It can be your Southern Rig!!! Lol

No way to trailer and launch, trust me I've kicked-around all sorts of options/ideas. I've got a Pelican in IN, just too much for me to handle, that's why I'd went to the kayak half the weight.
Bill....you gonna pick me up and take me out every time I wanna fish? Like a Lake Valet Service :biggrin
I've told others, I ain't gonna wish too hard. They'll come a day I'll be down here more than just the winter, but not while I'm still able to spend time with my Dad. While I'd like to have a boat, it's really not that big an issue to me, looking at the big picture.
