Cold Hands?

[Charliee]

Last week I was told a story about my dad that back in the 1940s he would go fishing by himself in the winter when it would be cold and icy. He kept warm by using a Coleman lantern in a 5 gallon metal bucket sitting in the boat between his knees.

We used to sauger fish in February, and a lot of guys would take a steel 5-gallon bucket with about 4" of sand in the bottom and burn charcoal in it. Same idea. Set it between your feet I imagine it helped a lot.

i don't no how much you want to spend ? But the best money I've spent on winter fishing was those suits, gloves, and socks made for motorcycle riders. 12 volt. just plug in and set the thermostat. You can be in cold weather and hot ! Very light weight material. Got mine on Ebay.

They are Gerbings ! http://www.thewarmingstore.com/gerbi...l#.UnWrzIoo6Uk If you just get the jacket liner and keep the core body warm, all else will stay warm! The Gerbings was the best thing for us, traveling on a motorcycle in freezing temps. We've had them for 7yrs and still work great.

Try neoprene gloves. I used these duck hunting. You'd have enough flexibility to manipulate a reel, I could shoot with them. Plus they keep your hands dry. They were so warm that even when it got down into the thirties in Tx. my hands were warm after collecting the dekes. I'm sure Cabelas and such sell them. I don't recall them being all that pricy either.
