    What kind of gear do you wear while fishing in that kind of weather?

    I’ll be a guest in ~H2O~’s boat on Friday night. My wife tells me that it takes a “special kind of stupid” to go out in weather like we’re expecting…..I guess that just makes us all special, now doesn’t it.

    I dress like I ‘m headed out ice fishing. I have a cold weather Parka/Bibs from Columbia called the Quad Parka. Good stuff designed for waterfowlers. Sorel boots, cap, gloves, choppers, and a couple dry towels for the hands.

    This year I’m going with a new set of Insulated Cabela’s Guidewear.

    Here is a shot from last year (Wearing the Columbia Stuff) on the Oct Full Moon on Milly as the snow started to accumulate in the boat. Not in the teens, but it was a chilly night!

    I have a 4 day weekend to ensure at least some fishable weather. My personal best Walleye came from a November full moon. The only other fish we caught that night was just shy of 10 lbs. I dress like I’m ice fishing and work hard at protecting my hands. Handwarmer packs reduce the suffering when the action is slow and activity level is low.

    I’m like Jon…. last year I was relegated to duck gear. This year I bought some Guidewear myself… and haven’t looked back.
    I also get a couple Thermacare wrps… and stick one on my chest on the outside on my first layer on long undies. They work great.

    Just a thought here guy’s………I would bring some sand along this weekend. We just recieved 4-5 inches of snow and the Mille Lacs shoreline has some ice on the rocks. I’m thinking that some may have trouble on the boat ramps? I have seen some guys have trouble pulling out with even 4 wheel drive.

    Just some thoughts here

    Keep us updated on the ice, Bob! I’d be real interested how the access at the Wharf looks on Friday. I would not be surprised if it were froze in.

    I’d also be interested in the wind. Speed, direction, wind chill.

    Just took this picture of the view out the patio window. We have around 4-5 inches of snow and 1-1/2 footers on Mille Lacs.
