Enjoy Cold Weather Fishing

In a previous post, I briefly described our fishing trip in Hampton Virginia.

The day was extremely cold. Most times when fishing, it’s the angler who has a tougher time than the prey. But with a little preparation the day can be an enjoyable experience regardless of the season.

When fishing in cold weather, remember that you must keep your head, hands and feet warm. Maintaining warmth in these spots will give you the best opportunity for success.

One of the best ways to keep warm is to keep chemical warmers in your tackle box.

One of the best items to help keep you warm is to have several chemical warmers in your tackle box.

I always purchase three large packages (six warming pads in each) each fall. They have a one year shelf life but mine are used way before the spring.

So to make a cold trip enjoyable, don’t forget the three cold spots – heads, hands and feet.
