:icon_scratch: 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. ;D Where'e me bloody Grog, Wench? :coffee2:

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
