Ok, it's that time of the year again....today we will top out highs 50+. Old man winter can't keep me from fishing, but I would really like to stay a little warmer this year. Let's recommend COLD windy clothing wear for those who fish in the winter. Is the Red Head E.C.W.C.S. shirt and long jons good? I personally don't get that cold body wise, but my extremities always get so cold that I can't feel a thing. So warm gloves that have the ends cut out, might be helpful to mention too. Last year I used the packet hand warmers in a fleece pull-over, then a jacket over that. My face was covered by the balaklavas (or however they are pronounced/spelled lol.) I then put a hat on over this. My feet were covered by red heads extreme cold socks, and they work well, but somehow my feet after an hour or so, would get cold....I guess my red wings let air in???? So let's recommend from feet to head. I also am skinny, so keep other people's sizes in mind. I know others who never get cold outdoors, they are also alot bigger than I am.

Definitely agreed on the shallow water part, love them near lily pads the most, if your not gonna use them all the time obviously like the rest of us, but always a strong weapon and keep one with you at all times in case

Well I fish mine any were. In open water I look for bait fish being chased at th surface. The second place I use a topwater plug in under the sade of a tree hanging ouver the water.
