New At Winter Bass Fishing - What Clothes Do I Need? 2024


fishing user avatarnocellcontracts reply : 

Never fished in the cold before. I'm cold natured and need help. I'm in Alabama and I will be fishing in 30-50 degree weather.

Can you guys help me choose a full winter fishing wardrobe? Thus far, I'm thinking about:

  1. Under Armour 3.0 base layers
  2. Bass Pro's 100mph suit (they have it on sale for black friday - but it's still gonna cost $360 out the door and it's NOT insulated)
  3. Instead of the non-insulated 100mph suit, should I get a Frabill I-Series insulated suit? The i2 suit is $250 and the i3 suit is $320.
  4. Need recommendations for gloves and insulated shoes

Will be fishing from my boat only....... Thanks all!

Another thing that may work for you is getting a single piece motorcycle rain suite.  Mine was just a shell that i could dress for warmth underneath.

Boots!!!! Strom makes some sweet gloves and cool suits built for anything. Base layer, two long sleeve shirts, two pairs of pants, a safe phase mask you will thank me when it feels like needles running down the lake and your fine. Her pads not icy hot just the heat ones. Hand warmers are good till you get me wet then they are just like old oatmeal to hold on to. Most important is stuff for your toes and hands after they lose feeling or to keep the feeling in them.

No cotton or wool against my skin anywhere. Winter or summer.  Sweat does not leave the skin.  I use synthetic Long Johns & socks cheap stuff.  Then I use 2 wind breakers with attached hoods.  Dungree for legs WITH a yellow breathable set of legs over the dungaree. FULL tarpon fishing hat with face covers. waterproof gloves with the bumpy rubber pads on the tips.....Like football players catching passes use......GOOD sunglasses.   I take them to a eye doctor. His machine can test how good they block all the bad rays out

 

Done............I stop fishing when ice forms on the line or guides or the line on the reel.   I am crazy. Not stupid.   :)

 

 

Forgot .  I tie a rope between me & the boat. Short enough keep anypart of me from being chopped up by the prop.  Full 100 mph lifejacket. It is BULKY & keeps me warm.  The safety  lanyard is tied to me also.

Ok thanks, someone was talking up about Cabelas uninslated  guidewear I didn't see any that say they were uninsulated.


fishing user avatarJakeKeenom reply : 

I would go with an insulated rain suit. Keeps you warm in the winter. I never wear a rainsuit whwn its warm so I go insulated


fishing user avatarcyclops2 reply : 

Winter requires the LAYERS of clothing because of changing wind & shade conditions.  At least my large water areas do as the wind shifts direction & speed.
