I fish every weekend year round and have struggled to find a pair of gloves that are not too cumbersome. I put in one day when it was 12 degrees and strangely, I had the lake to myself. :D I wear wool gloves when motoring out and sometimes will keep them on but settled on a hand warmer like the NFL QB's use during winter (hangs around your waist) that I got at BPS, and throw a few heating pads in it. Fishing live bait makes it real tough to wear gloves.
