NOPE - SWIM TRUNKS AND A SWEATSHIRT -
BOUT A 5MM JACKET AND 7MM FARMER JOHN
7MM GLOVES AND BOOTS
ONE THING THAT FULL FACE MASK DOES - IS KEEP YOUR FACE WARM - JUST DONT EAT GARLIC

Your crazy!! I was in the water twice this year, with waders ONLY. That will do till it warms up a bit! I refuse to be a Bobsicle
Wish you a ton of success.

Any gold that was left over from last year will still be there for me when the water is more tolerable.

You and OBN are way more hard core than I am.

Try jumping in the water here and you'll break your snorkel. Is 20F now, ground covered in snow, and was a low of 10F last night. Think we had a high today of 23.

Hard core I wish..
I really hate the cold weather and I would not be out if I were not warm for sure. I finally have this cold water thing down this year being able to do four to five hours in the deep water. I think the worse it was when I was out one time was 21F with wind chill of 5F with the water temp in the 35 degree area. I swear I can be out there the full time and be toasty, took me awhile to get the hands and feet warm but a few changes to the drysuit and it's like I feel no cold any where. The only issues I have is when the water is still cold and the air temps are running in the 50's. Sweat, but it does not affect my warmth just things need to be aired very well after...

Yikes! You guys are hard core. The heater comes on when it's 69 degrees here. Lol!

'Tis ok - our A/C comes on when it's above 70F. I remember one summer when it only got above 80 two times the entire summer. It even snowed in ....either July or August; can't remember now. Was a nice year - very few mosquitoes!!

What a hard core guy. Great respect for this man. To grow you need to overcome the barriers.
