NEWKID 27,089 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 I wear a fladden 2 piece floatation suit for sea fishing (boat and shore) it's mega warm with the bonus of being able to take the jacket off if you get too hot. Been 30 mile out in the english channell wrecking in feb and been warm as toast, a decent hat, socks and boots are mega important, once your head and feet are cold your f**ked. Quote Link to post

runforyourlife 361 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 it doesnt matter how cold it is or how adverse. theres times when you just wont catch fish.... On the other hand, their are times when some fish just beat all the rule books and feed!! When they shouldnt even be awake, or finished feeding long ago...its the hardy who make these fish feed, and if you can, its usually a specimen of a fish! no.1. The pike pic on the boat, fed after a massive barren and very cold snap on all waters around britain... It dropped to minus 20 everywhere and scotland hit minus25, we were there like morons(paid off, and think it is still the record from that water).. The older ones will remember it, i think it may have been bewteen 1990 and 95.... no.2. the eel fed on a December night when the temperature was minus 4, with ice on the edge of the water... Anyone knows, Eels are said to hibernate! no.3. the Salmon, which was the most incredible fish i have had the pleasure of capturing(and i have had pike to over 50lb, cats to 100lb+, etc) Reason being, it fed when the river was frozen, apart from a deep hole, it was minus 11. The date was december 30th!! And it took a "livebiat golden trout"!!!! For one, the salmon shouldnt be there at this time(i know you'l always get a few) two, to try and make a 20lb salmon take a fly, worm or small spinner in the normal salmon season is hard enough, so to take a 10" livey was quite mind blowing, especially in such exstreme weather!!
