How do ya sweat ?

is it A
on your hair/ballcap line running ever so slowly to the eyebrow then right into the ole eyes ....? :dono
or B
running down your back and tickling your whatever ....
or C
then possibly sweating in some unmentionable areas that further distract you .....:yikes
or could it be D all the above ? :Rofl:Rofl
it for sure can distract ya , and when the fish are just so so and EVERY lil thing might be a fish , sweat becomes a serious problem .....
So don't sweat the small stuff and the same on the big stuff as well ....
and if you do sweat , make the crappie pay for it BIGTIME !
I do ....
no matter the size they all owe ya ....just saying :biggrin
btw KABOOM from my terribly warm part of the world on my lunch break ...
and yes they paid them sweat dues ....
big or small invoice them all .....:crazy:

Yep, sweat is part of the game. I particularly hate it when it runs in your eyes and eventually gets all over the sunglasses!:Rofl

This post you need to read. I don't sweat nothing like I use to since the first Crappie.com performance long sleeve fishing shirt I received from Slab. I am wearing the same shirts in the latest pictures. Wearing a pair of shorts and one of these shirts really keeps you dry and not too warm. Since receiving the first one I had to have more because they really work. When it's close to 100 degrees I add a reflective ball cap that has pads that you wet with cold water to really cool down. Slab doesn't have any of the long sleeve shirts in the store that I can see. Maybe he will add soon. I do have a link to the caps.

Amazon.com

The first thing I notice when I'm starting to sweat is my sunglasses fog up and I can't see. Have to stop fishing and wipe my face and glasses. Will put up with the sweating and baking if the fish are cooperating. If not it's time to find a shady spot out of the sun. Fish like shade when it's hot too.

need one in a wide brim here , the sun is brutal in these parts , just saying :highfive

When the sweat rolls your sunscreen into your eyes....the worst. Texas is always hot but looks like everyone should prepare for extremes in weather and climate, eh?

There are a couple brands that sell hats that you dip in water and help cool you. Here is the Arctic Air hat link. Wide Brim Hat

I hate using the sunscreen and most times just wear long sleeves, pants, etc to avoid it. I feel like a clown applying the white makeup. Does not rub in good and gets on everything.

I sweat profusely…

I sweat so much, I can't hardly get my t-shirt off after working outside in the heat. Sometimes, it runs down my back and into my shoes! :yikes Can't wait for October!!!

Time to break out the green lights!

Awesome! Glad to help.

Full on wet t shirt contest for me. Not a dry stitch anywhere

If it's hot outside & I still go fishing .... I'll be wearing white pants, white T-shirt, white UV blocker sleeves (from SA Co.), and a white boonie hat .... and I also have a umbrella in the boat that can be placed in the double-seat holder, and there'll be cold pop & water in the cooler. I also have sunscreen (SPF100) to use on those exposed skin areas, if needed.

I've already had several spots of Squamous Cell Skin Cancer cryogenically removed from my arms, so I don't take many chances of getting repeat (or worse) contraction of this or any type of skin Cancer.

I've been a member here for a very long time and have seen a lot of different subjects brought up. Then everytime I begin to think there can't be anything new brought up, Kaboom! A new one. Don't take me wrong, I'm not complaining. Just amazed. Keep up the good work.

I like white too but sometimes I look like a Easter Egg...............I just got 2 sets of "Arms", have not tried them yet. Yesterday I used a Columbia PFG shirt like Slabs but a little thicker. I think Columbia had to have a nicer fabric but guess what - Slab's shirts out perform Columbia's PFG by a long shot. They do not hold on to sweat as long as the Columbia PFG shirts do. I was wet on my back getting into the truck, never happens with Slab's shirts, they dry out by the time I have everything loaded.

Wore a long sleeve something fancy angler attire shirt yesterday, stylish no doubt and pretty comfortable and when you hit a cattle crossing creek at 27 miles per hour in a big Yamaha 5 seater diesel ranger …..the really nasty cow pee and poop water seems to dry up much faster than if you wear a t shirt……but it doesn’t help much with that taste in your mouth ….just saying :Rofl

And Poopy cow peewater has a very similar to sweat consistency btw , slightly chunkier to a small degree and deodorant doesn’t seem to keep you from smelling like a cow pie when you dry up, the great news is we have seat covers on my wife’s truck and it’s only an hour and half trip back home with that there fragrance de open range time on ya :Rofl:Rofl:Rofl

I definitely sweat out there a lot, thank goodness for cooling towels, they really help.

I judge how difficult my work day is by how many shirts I sweat through. A 6 shirt day is my record...plus a clean one to wear home. Not loving this time of year.

I'm like Dave, can't stand sunscreen. I wear a long sleeve white columbia PFG shirt, a hunter safety orange boonie hat, long pants, a neck gaiter, and sun gloves anytime I'm in the kayak. I cover the boat seat with a towel and it's wet by the time I'm done fishing. Give me April & October over this hot mess.

In 2024 I wear fishing shirts. Some are Columbia and some are other brands. Someone mentioned they had a PFG shirt and it did not dry quick. Columbia makes many models of PFG shirts. Some are far better than others. I always look at the material and the weave. It is the same with Magellan brand. Two shirts may be of same material but fabric weight and weave is very different. I’m not sure when technical clothing first showed up. I worked in Saudi for 21 years staring in 1980. I took over all cotton clothing and found out quick that was not the way to go. For my first couple of years there I was a site engineer at different missile sites. It was me with 80 Saudi soldiers. We spent most of the day working out in 100 degree plus heat. I stayed soaking wet until I picked up on the fact the soldiers were not. They all had on 100 percent wool uniforms. So I decided that was the way to go. But I did it a little different. While their uniforms were of a pretty heavy weight I went with tropical wool. All that means is it is a very light weight of fabric, but still 100 percent wool. Wore wool there until I left in 2001. Worked great for me. Nowadays it seems 100 percent wool shirts are hard to find. Pants seem to be still plentiful. But nowadays I wear the so called technical clothing and it works very well. I also wear a wide brim hat for shade. It is an Akubra territory hat. Yeah it’s hot under it since it is made of felt but it totally protects my nose, neck, and ears. Baseball hats just don’t give good sun protection.


Regards

How I sweat depends on how hard my wife grills me on whatever new looking piece of fishing equipment she's found.
