    Arctic Shield bibs and parka is the way to go; I bought mine from Cabelas a few years ago. I now have two sets one for hunting and a set for fishing..........combine those with a set of polypro undergarments and you will be comfortable all day.

    I ace the cabelas guide wear and I love it keeps you warm and you won't even feel the wind.

    I spent the whole day on the water wearing Arctic Armor and was warm the whole day. It does cost some but was well worth the money. It was 19 when I launched and 33 when I got back at 4:00. Caught 15 keepers Spider Rigging.

    Look into some Merino Wool base layers, IMO absolutely the best out there. Very thin and aids tremendously on the layering method, I use it religiously deer hunting and was led to it by some hard core enthusiasts who do a ton of backcountry pack hunting.
    You can get it in different weight ranges to fit your needs, Sierra Trading Post - We Are All Explorers. will have some great sales if you monitor the site.

    Outer layers I use Cabelas MT050 gear, the rain suit is very reliable and the whitetail extreme bibs/jacket is top of the line but costly.

Last Saturday I waited till 10:00 to put in an had all the jeans and flannel shirts I could put on and still fit in my one piece. Even then I left off the lake around 1:00 I think. Just find that comfort zone that you can live with, even then ya might wind up leaving before you'd planned. Most importantly, take a thermos of coffee. If you don't drink coffee, it'd be a good time to start.
    AMEN to that!!
