Cold weather brings the best 'big fish' times of the year. But,,,,, it's dang cold. 1 thing i carry is a set of sweats pants(2x)and a hoodie sweatshirt(zipup), socks and hand warmers(not last years). If you or anybody else falls overboard, will be very thankful for some dry clothes to get in. A ladder on the boat is most helpful. Any more ? <*)}}}><
