Cold water hunting

[White Feather]

I went up on deck this morning and the fog was so thick I could not see the shoreline some 70 feet in front of me. I was going to go MDing but decided the water was just to cold and I went back inside the wheelhouse. I flipped on the depth finder and it said the water was 74 degrees. Bummer! Now I have to run down the beach. Where'e me bloody Grog, Wench?

74 degrees is too cold? Wow, we swim in spring water up in Wi in the summer! Maybe we got thicker skin

74 is too cold? Cold to one is wam to another, anyway I would pick up a good wetsuit. I have hunted the atlantic side when water temps were in the low 50's and stayed warm in my wetsuit....

yep a good 5 mill wet suit will do the trick.when i lived in Ohio id hunt water up till November and the water would be in the 50's and i was good for a couple hours.i now live on the Atlantic in Ga and only use a 2 mill suit to keep the Jelly fish off.if you get one,id go with the Farmer Jon style ,that way you can just wear the bottoms if you choose.good luck
