Staying cool in this summer heat

[jp2]

Do any of y’all use a battery operated fan while fishing in this summer heat. If so, what you using?

I bought a Dewalt one a couple of years ago with the intent on using it on the boat. It has yet to make it on the boat, but it is the handiest thing I have every bought when you need a little air moving but don't have easy access to power. Runs a surprisingly long time on a 5ah 20 volt battery. Only reason for choosing that brand is I already had those tools and batteries. Comes in handy when the power goes out for repairs at night. Keeps some air moving in the house

Don’t remember the brand, but I used to use one I bought on clearance at wally world - it would run off the built in rechargeable battery, or 12v off a cigarette lighter plug. It was in the camping section. It helped a lot, especially with a cold wet towel draped over your neck. I’d keep 2 or 3 in the ice chest and swap em out.
Nowadays I usually just try to be on my spot at sunup and hit a lick on the fish before it gets too hot. Retreat to the truck and ac hopefully with a mess of fish by 10-11 o’clock.
But I remember the old days, we’d fish till about to heat stroke. The joke was, when you start seeing heat monkeys - vision blurring - it’s almost time to go

Ha, that’s funny. Think I have seen a few of those heat monkeys but didn’t know what they were. Now I know.

When I was much younger I would jump in the water a couple times during the day and cool off. Fished 10 to 12 hours a day back then. I hardly go anymore if its hot or cold.

Bimini top, fish in the cool of the morning. Swim in teh heat of the day. Fish in the cool of the night.

What’s the difference in offshore lithium and regular lithium?
