Not my best picture but it was cold around 39 degrees and I don't have Arctic Armor! Wish I had a set now though!!!
I fish at night all the time and it is always colder at night than during the day. I sure could use a set of Arctic Armor to stay warm but I can't afford it right now. Wish I could...
This was last January......fishing in Louisiana.....15 degrees....3-4 in. of snow......I am a geezer , will be 70 years old in a couple more months so this would really help me winter fishing .....this is why I need Artic Armor. Attachment 179359
Attachment 179363Here's a pic of the suit....
It was cold believe me!

Temps were in the low 40's, even though this pic was taken in April .... in East Tenn. :Doh:
I need them so I don't have to put on 4 layers of clothes to fish when it's "cool" outside, AND so I can comfortably fish during Winter months (which I'm not currently able to do). They would help expand the time frame in which I could fish, plus the length of time I could stay out on the water when I did go. It would be less bulky than 4 layers of clothing, allowing greater ease of movement in the boat. At my age, I don't tolerate "cold" as well as I used to ... so these items would give me more opportunity to fish the cold weather months, rather than vegetating on the couch for 4-5 months of the year.
It would also match my camo Mustang auto-inflatable PFD :woohoo :biggrin
Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of this raffle !! :HandsClapping

Attachment 179386this is typical fishing conditions for me. It's early morning on the Ten-Tom waterway. After a bone chilling 4 mile boat ride at the crack of dawn, I fish all day with the temps starting in the 20's and 30's and often not getting much more than 50-55. I normally hang out until near sundown and motor back to the ramp. Wind, rain, sleet are all just part of the experience. I often have my best catches during the most miserable conditions. You must have quality gear to be able to withstand winter fishing!
That guy looks familiar!
Don't have a on water pic of this catch, Feesh and I were too busy pullin em in, but it was 2 days before Christmas, I remember the temp on truck showed a cool 31 degrees at the boat launch, the cold weather gear is the difference between staying and not staying on the water, plain and simple. We had a double limit before noon this day and it was still 34 when we loaded the boat.Attachment 179415
Attachment 1794183 man limit in January on the Big G while it was snowing about 18 degrees with 10-12 mph wind
Attachment 179478
10 Degrees 15 mph winds these would really come in handy fishing in the winter in my area. The added ability to help float would make it safer as well. Am out in conditions in hard water and open water all winter long.
Hard water fishing on a sunny 20 below zero day. Good cold weather gear is a must!!Attachment 179480
Count me in.
Attachment 179483
About 30 degrees out. No crappie, but you gotta fish for what is biting.
It was windy and I had to hide behind trees to get out of it.
toooo cold fer picks
Attachment 179503 took this picture of Bill after a day at Sardis . Not much on pictures of my self .
Here's a pic
I fish all winter and lots of days the boat is frozen to the trailer. But back into the water and it will thaw in a few minutes. Lots of days temps will not get above freezing. And will be in the Teens when I leave the ramp at first light. Lots of days you skim ice off the minnows if you leave the cooler open for long.
This pick was on reelfoot, high was a warm 21 degrees that way. Limit of fish from first light until this pic was taken and man it was cold.

Going in the am there calling for Temps to be around 12 degrees here on Pickwick. So will be sure to get a great pic of cold temps in the am.
Little snow and iceAttachment 179527
It's not a crappie...I know, but it was cold for sure that day! Set up a battalion of tip ups for some monster pike and got into a master angler. The temps were in the single digits that day but it was a great day of fishing! It's great any day when you catch some trophy fish despite the frigid temps! The temp for the day was around 9° which was COLD! I think that an arctic armor suit would serve me well catching more trophy fish. Not only because they're warm and float, but because with the camo colored one you have up for grabs, the fish won't even see me coming! Attachment 179557
Annual trip to Dale Hollow for bass fishing, got this one (the only fish for the day) on Thanksgiving Day 2013. Sunny but windy and quite cold. Temp was 26 when we returned to Wisdom Marina. Can really use some new cold weather gear, as someone liked the ones I was wearing and relieved me of them.... Yeep, someone took them from my truck.
Attachment 179599 Yes. That is my wife. And yes, It was cold. Also, we caught a few.........
Attachment 179684
We received 14 inches of snow in 6 hours and fished the entire time. We shoveled the boat three times during the process. The temp was 15 at the start and warmed up to 25 around noon. My cold weather gear consists of what you see in the pic which is not much.
Attachment 179685
It gets cold in SC too! This was last December. High this past Tuesday was 38 and today maybe 50s. I'd love to have the suit.

I need em cuz I'm too dumb to stay home and Cabin Fever almost takes me out every winter. This pic was taken at 26* and I just couldn't stay home any more!! The second was about 34* and the Smallies were Bitin!! Please help me get out more!!!
- 10 , We have more days on the ice than in a boatAttachment 179730
Attachment 179732 I found another picture that I wanted to upload to here. This was a great day on the ice! Was right around 30° and I got to snap a few sunset pics. A new set of Arctic Armor would definitely keep me warm on the ice and keep me safe if I ever do fall through. The floatation aspect of arctic armor is probably the main reason I'd want it. Safety is #1 when you're on the ice!

Toledo Bend 32 degrees, Attachment 179848 cold for South Texas, warm for a Kansas guy
Brrrrrr......these are some cold pics fer sho
GOOD LUCK to all you young fishermen. All of you deserve to win. I had to work in that kind of weather............not going to fish in it too.:Rofl
TTT
This isn't me in the picture, I was the one taking it. It was single digits and it snowed over an inch wile we were out. The fish were freezing faster than I could clean them. Had to put them in a bucket of water to thaw them out. Reason I need these is because no only do I fish all winter I also waterfowl hunt too so I spend most every day out in the elements!

I could always use some camo. It keeps everyone from seeing just how ugly I really am. Caught this fish yesterday in the rain on Lake Greeson in Daisy, Arkansas. Temps in the 50s for the moment, but just last weekend we went to a high school football game in 20 degree cold. GTT
[ATTACH=CONFIG] TOOK THIS BICTURE OF BRM ON OUR TRIP TO SARDIS . NO PICTURES OF ME IN COLD .
I'm throw my name in the hat for my Dad (Pop). He loves to crappie fish and had a heart attack back 4 years ago and like anyone who has went through that they stay cold all the time. We love to fish the winter on Reelfoot Lake in North West Tn. he has some coveralls but could use some better ones. This is a good a contest and someone we be glad to get them.
Attachment 180124
Here is my fishing partner / girlfriend all snug and warm in my cold weather gear on the night she caught her fish crappie. Which just happened to be 13" slabs. The night was in the 20's and I must say it was chilly in the front of the boat. So as you can see she needs the artic armor suit so the I want have to wear 4 pair of thermal underwear and have my teeth chatter. I was shaking hard enough I could barely bait her hook. Ha
Much thanks, Jack
