advice for shallow water hunting in the north east

[sp1173]

Hi All
I just got a new AT Pro, my goal to get in the water and wet.
I sold my used Vision(v3) and got this for a little more versatility.
This machine is pretty simple compared to the learning curve of the V
So... I am hoping to not wait until its 90 degrees to get in the water here in MA. I have a nice scoop. any recommendations on waterproofing my body
I'd love to hear what people use in colder climates. I'm contemplating gooping up my propointer to waterproof it.
Thanks in advance
Scott

Do you plan on hunting fresh water or saltwater?

Both but I'm thinking fresh water first

Knee deep I go Bootfoot waders, drytop, long underwear, Manual inflate PFD, neoprene hood, and gloves..for starters

OBN gave some great starters. Not sure I would goop the pro-pointer. I have never used my pro-pointer in the water, fresh or salt. You will learn to pinpoint with your machine and the scoop compensates quite a bit once you have the target somewhat pinpointed. Having said that, I have missed the target on more than one occasion but have become a tad more proficient over time. Dress warm and best of luck to you.
